Rhys Darby consistently flies in the face of cliche (acting, writing).
However there's still cliche drama in this.
Rhys Darby owns "electric" so much that he fits in with any smooth actor, providing natural drama this way no matter what the subject or story. This is true drama.
However there's still forced "frenemy" style drama. Two characters that are supposed to get along (because they live together) ignoring/twisting points of view only to generate argument.
Most of film is story based with natural social drama & character, so it works.
It's not shot to be replayed, scene length isn't right, key drama points aren't totally believable.. but it won't ruin your evening.
