“Crash Pad” (*** out of four) was an occasionally very funny comedy about a young bachelor (Domnhall Gleeson) who has an affair with an older woman (Christina Applegate) and her vengeful but hedonistic husband (Thomas Haden Church) soon finds out but they become friends and her husband decides to move in with him while they enact revenge by living a bachelor life to the extreme! Silly story is hard to believe, to put it mildly, but Church’s very funny performance and some unexpectedly sharp dialogue make this a real surprise. Applegate seems to be playing more-or-less the same character she played in “Anchorman.”
