Fort Tilden

Between the constant churn of new releases, Fort Tilden in the US on Amazon Prime Video is the comedy actually worth stopping for. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 39 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Bridey Elliott's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Fort Tilden earns its spot. The jokes in Fort Tilden land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Twenty-something Brooklynites Allie and Harper are directionless, privileged, and just a tiny bit damaged. All they want is to get to the beach, where a drug-fueled afternoon with cute boys awaits them. Alas, the journey becomes needlessly complicated, as the girls’ bike ride from Williamsburg to Fort Tilden Beach is littered with a barrage of unfriendly circumstances and the realization that their life skills are more limited than they should be. Bridey Elliott and Clare McNulty lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It was released in 2014. Fort Tilden earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Fort Tilden respects your intelligence. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Bridey Elliott anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
