You’re dead, make a decision. The logline of David Freyne’s “Eternity” is also the pitch of its many in-universe eternities. Sort of.

Freyne’s high-concept romantic comedy mostly takes place in a limbo waystation between life and only one of endless permanent eternities that you must choose to reside in. What happens if you die before your terminally ill spouse and decide to wait for her, only to find her first husband who died in combat has waited too, but for over 60 years? Whatever you just thought up as an answer is probably more interesting than Freyne’s. 

After Larry (Miles Teller) foolishly dies as an old man and arrives in this limbo, he can’t comprehend what’s going on until greeted by his Afterlife Coordinator Anna (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), who dryly goes through her usual routine as if informing him of an insurance policy. Reluctant to choose an eternity until his wife of 60-some years, Joan, arrives, he mostly waits until she passes on but Luke (Callum Turner), her first husband, and his A.C., Ryan (John Early), have other plans in mind. Hijinks ensue!

The tried and true push and pull at the center of “Eternity” begets immediate questions with boundless interesting branches to jump onto, but Freyne opts for the safe route time and time again. A love triangle is hard to biff, yet this one is played all too routinely by the utterly miscast trio, save for a deftly committed and entertaining Olsen who fits right into the 1930s screwball tone that the movie clearly needs and sporadically achieves, one which Teller and Turner are visibly embarrassed to lean into.
