"The Layover" is a modern digest of a corporate American landscape - or, as it so astutely shows, the America itself. With its San-Fran lingo, social network preconditioning, tricking the audience (well done, Mr Macy's... sorry, Mr Macy!) into watching brand-name commercials AFTER the movie begins and not to forget the fully clothed sex scenes it paints a hellish landscape of people muttering what's supposed to be innuendo and self awareness yet never translates into realization about soul crushing spirit decay encompassing every step of the meaningless route between a boardroom, a wedding... where exactly is the layover? Is it in the presentation itself?
What is this, the third or fourth Bourdain show based on the exact same premise? No thanks.
