The dialogue remains consistently sharp, authentic, and unique to its characters throughout, proving to be the film's strength.

The Drop has a great premise about an accident that forces a couple to revisit their relationship and needs, but it never really lives up to its promise.

The film's events feel natural, so the audience doesn’t have to dig deep to understand and relate to the characters. Combined with a hilarious cast who are all on the same page, The Drop delivers an entertaining enough viewing experience.

Unfortunately, a solid premise and an appealing cast get bogged down in The Drop, and the film ends ups dropping the ball—and the baby.

The Drop isn’t really about dropping a baby. But it’s not about much else, either.

The Drop has the feel of an extended improv exercise while spotlighting characters who are thinly sketched and often as boring as they are wickedly boorish, with the talented cast engaging in hit-and-miss dialogue that often falls flat.

Director and co-writer Sarah Adina Smith offers some inspired moments and laughs here and there, but too often, running bits simply don’t pay off.
