When it comes to movies in general, and reviewing movies in particular, I love it when I'm caught completely off guard by a flick. No idea about the story going in, no clue as to how it will play out, and then being blown away by what a good time I had. The Rental is one such movie, and flicks like it are few and far between. On the one hand, this is a relationship drama about two couples who rent a vacation home for the weekend hoping to have a really good time, but instead have all their dirty laundry exposed... and I'm not talking the clothing kind.

No, we're not talking about Alison Brie or Gillian Jacobs -- although wouldn't that be grand -- but the series' douchebag-turned-not-such-a-douchebag Joel McHale .
