Synopsis
Spin Me Round (2022) is a comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Jeff Baena. Amber runs a California branch of an Olive Garden-style Italian chain when she wins a trip to Italy — an all-expenses "immersion program" the company hands out to its top managers.
In her head it's Tuscany, wine and a fling with the wealthy owner. In reality it's a stuffy hotel outside town, oddball classes and a clutch of equally baffled coworkers. Amber does drift toward the boss, but the closer they get, the less it feels like romance and the more it feels off. Alison Brie plays Amber and co-wrote the script, Alessandro Nivola is the smooth owner, and Aubrey Plaza turns up as his unsettlingly loyal assistant.
This is a small, deliberately awkward film that poses as a vacation rom-com and then wanders into the absurd. The humor is dry and a little crooked — strictly for fans of Baena's deadpan and indie comedies that refuse the tidy happy ending. Stream Spin Me Round (2022) online on iFILM.
