  "account": "The only redeeming aspect of Spa Weekend is its blooper reel. Despite the frankly atrocious comedy, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore's film at least provides audiences who manage to stay seated until the end with a stream of gaffs and bloopers from the shoot. The blooper reel showcases the once-mighty inclusion of comedy mishaps from the film's production. While Spa Weekend presents a dated lineup of subpar bits and humor-related elements, the blooper reel reveals the true essence of the comedy. Clips of cast members Isla Fisher and Michelle Buteau, as well as moments from co-stars Anna Faris and Leslie Mann, highlight the comedy finesse of the ensemble. Fisher's deeply Australian improv gold is particularly noteworthy and makes the awkwardly obvious fact that the film's script is far from brilliant. Despite the film's attempts to Woo Woo Wellness Girlbossification through tired takes on meditation, goat yoga, and dildos, it remains deeply unfunny. Thankfully, the blooper reel provides a much-needed escape from the film's shortcomings. Spa Weekend is currently playing in cinemas.",
