Two for the Road arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in Two for the Road land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Architect Mark Wallace and his wife, Joanna, travel to France to meet with an affluent client. While there, they reflect on their first decade of marriage -- memories of when they first met, of courtship, and of road trips through the French countryside. As flirtation and playful quarreling turn to boredom with the banality of married life, the Wallaces struggle to rekindle their passion, while mutual infidelity threatens to tear them apart. Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It was released in 1967. Two for the Road earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Two for the Road is a strong candidate. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Audrey Hepburn is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
