'One More Shot' Review: Yes, It's About Time-Traveling Tequila, But Don't Expect a Party
One More Shot, Nicholas Clifford's directorial debut starring Emily Browning, struggles with its tone and holds back too much.
Nicholas Clifford tackles a formidable foe in his feature debut: time loops. One More Shot is a romantic(ish) comedy about time-traveling tequila that, for better or worse, safely pads its temporal elements. Humor overrides the need to thoroughly explain science fiction details because, say it again, time-traveling tequila. Writers Gregory Erdstein and Alice Foulcher play with familiar deadbeat themes of irresponsibility and redos, but it's not an especially emboldened screenplay. Clifford's direction cycles through the motions of a neverending party, yet excitement and chaos are missing in action despite, one more time, time-traveling tequila.
