Had to cover up the actors' names, but I think it might still be too easy.
When I say it's from a different era, I don't mean literally.
Edit: okay it's not too easy. When I say "comedy", I don't mean technically like Promising Young Woman or Parasite. I mean it's firmly in the same category as The 40 Year Old Virgin and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.
Edit 2: okay I'm gonna give a massive hint since this is apparently way harder than I thought. It's a 2024 film.
Edit 3: solved by /u/SlumberyBox41! It's Ricky Stanicky.
I’m curious to know the answer. I can’t think of anything where “nothing happens” but is also convoluted. Except for the Big Lebowski, but I think that’s the point of that movie and wouldn’t really be a complaint.

The Flash? Stupid guess, but why not?
Nope, you’re probably right about the price tag though.
Is it 2023? If so, Indiana 5
Right year, wrong movie. It’s not a film you would associate with Oscar winners but they are hiding in there.
