Levi is Exploring
18 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Lexi (Anna Konkle) and Mani (Jermaine Fowler) are an LA couple who are attempting to have a baby. She operates a bakery called "Carbs." They are missing his mother's birthday in New York to go to an island and attend her friend's wedding and she has to bring the cake. The friend Mia (Aparna Nancherla_ (and former lover) is getting married to Peggy (Jennifer Lafleur). They are all flying down to a resort owned by their friends Lindsey (Jillian Bell) and Josh (Joshua Leonard). At the airport Lexi gets stuck holding the baby and while shooing an insect, drops the toddler on her head. The child will endure but the event sets off everyone into reading something more into the incident than what it was. We discover this is really Lexi's crowd as she has slept with at least three of them. Mani feels out of place.

The film has a lot of sexual humor. Most of it was funny except for Levi which was meant to be crude funny. The film would have been far better with A listers like Kevin Hart playing Mani, Kristen Wiig for Lexi and Rebel Wilson instead of Jillian Bell. Turn it into a real comedy.

Guide: F-word. Sex. Distant Nudity.
