Dakota Fanning and Jake Johnson's romance fizzles in Joe Swanberg's 'The Sun Never Sets'
Variety reviews Joe Swanberg's latest romantic comedy, 'The Sun Never Sets,' calling it an unsatisfying outing.
The film, which Variety reports continues the director's move away from his mumblecore roots, stars Dakota Fanning as Wendy. She has been in a two-year relationship with Jake Johnson's character, Jack, a single dad.
According to the outlet, the plot revolves around Jack deciding the couple should take a break. This leads to Wendy taking a trip to a tropical resort alone.
The review notes that the film attempts to honor romantic comedy conventions while expanding its sexual parameters, but ultimately finds the result lacking.
