The central character in Desperados experiences an odd encounter involving a dolphin slap and faces false accusations of pedophilia. While marketed as a comedy, the film’s use of animals and children in potentially sexual situations fails to elicit humor—or demonstrate any intelligence, reflecting what seems like a clear case of an Idiot Plot. Wesley (played by Nasim Pedrad) goes on a blind date with Sean (Lamorne Morris), but he abruptly ends things when she brings up marriage and having kids. Shortly after that, Wesley trips while walking, falls down, and meets Jared (Robbie Amell), who appears quite charming. Jared seems like the ideal partner, so Wesley intentionally conceals her genuine personality to make sure the relationship succeeds. Following their first intimate encounter, she doesn't hear from him for a few days. Distraught, Wesley drinks with her friends and sends Jared a lengthy, critical email. He eventually calls her and explains that he was in a car accident in Mexico and is currently hospitalized, unable to access his email. The question then becomes: does Wesley explain the misunderstanding and offer an apology, or does she travel to Jared’s hotel in Mexico with her friends Brooke (Anna Camp) and Kaylie (Sarah Burns) to delete the email? Screenwriter Ellen Rapoport chooses the latter option, despite making it obvious that Wesley is not only unemployed but also so poor she has to steal food from the homes where she babysits. It’s unclear who is funding this sudden trip, and why. If Rapoport and director Lauren Palmigiano intend for us to believe that an unplanned vacation to a popular resort in Mexico can be arranged so easily without significant funds, then the characters aren't the only ones lacking common sense in this film. However, that’s just one example of the movie’s shortcomings. Would you find it believable if I told you Sean (the blind date) also happens to be staying at the same hotel? Or that Wesley will discover true love with someone who appreciates her for who she really is and not a fabricated persona? What about the fact that the three friends are going to stop communicating before returning home, only to have an emotional reunion back in America? It’s also revealed that Wesley finally gets a job thanks to Sean's recommendation. And Jared isn't as perfect as he initially appears. And so on and so forth. Essentially, Desperados borrows heavily from Road Trip (which itself was inspired by Overnight Delivery). The only difference is the use of email instead of traditional mail delivery; I suspect that if Wesley had used her limited funds to hire someone to hack into Jared’s inbox, it would have spared everyone a lot of trouble.
