This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Married Baby
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

love the actors! v. good material! another well projected picture about today's 'responsible' couple. the hard pressed, nonetheless, flavorful tofu slices between the very nearly 24/7 'all encumbering' pieces of bruschetta... work/household responsibilities/needs & children. yes, this picture proves all too well that the 2 tofu slices, representing the resilient companions, are even unfairly (life fair, huh!) separated by the 3rd slice of current life, fading parent(s).. ringing so true for those who can't/won't send their children to boarding school &/or their parents to a well equipped senior home.wish the story could have had more time for the couple to be the beatles to what brought them together in the 1st place. if given more script, hunt & shcreiber would have shown a terrific journey to remind us how to 'get back' to the tender & kind love for your companion.

This movie is a waste of time. The script is sophomoric, Helen Hunt is wooden and unconvincing. Schreiber tries, but he also falls short with a script that tries too hard to be contemporary and relevant.The sick dad is a running cliché. Schreiber's siren is equally stiff and unbelievable. The scene with her in the swimming pool towards the end is flat out stupid. By this point the wheels had come off the film.The move is primarily a vehicle for convincing us how normal it is in our changing society to come out as gay in high school. The male on male sex is difficult to watch, it wasn't necessary and American audiences will still be largely turned of by it, imo.

Every Day is every family's scenario. An ordinary midlife crisis, a slightly rebellious child, a difficult parent... it could be anyone, and it serves as a mirror telling people who look upon it: "Yes, it happens to others too. It's not easy, but you can make it."The good. The acting is well dosed, just right to make us feel at home. The script keeps event popping in, but does not become overly complex. The story is dynamic, yet quiet. The dialogs, characters, and background are realistic, without dragging us into the mundane or the boring.The actors. Liev Schreiber is the steadfast husband and father who's running into a wall. Good performance. Helen Hunt is the daughter, wife, and mother who is lost. For once, I did not find her annoying, and I must give her credit for keeping her performance on par with the flick. Carla Gugino as the sexy fun seeking coworker, Eddie Izzard as the flamboyant boss, and Brian Dennehy as crotchety old father are what gives the film its piquant. Well done.The bad. I think all this production needs to really have more punch is a bit more polish in almost all departments while avoiding becoming slick which would loose the "anyone" feel. The ugly. Nothing.The result. A bit of entertainment for everyone, but don't expect any action or big gestures. This is about "every day".

What if what you thought you were missing in life you already had? A writer for a TV show, Ned (Schreiber) is stuck in a job where his boss demands more and more strange things. His wife Jeannie (Helen Hunt) has just brought her father home to take care of. His son is gay and Ned is trying to avoid admitting it, and his co-worker (Gugino) is another reason his life is spinning out of control. So many movies and TV shows come out that claim to be true to life, or "Reality Shows", they usually turn out to be so over the top they end up borderline spoofing the stars. This is one huge exception. While not being a reality show at all, this is the most true to life movie I have seen in a while. It was depressing in parts, but again because it seemed like they just took a family and watched how they live and made a movie from it, without changing anything. Ned is stuck trying to sort out what his life has become that he finds himself trying to be someone he isn't. This movie is another glaring example of how unless you have a $200 million budget and your movie make $400 million in theaters you will get no recognition or advertising. There are no big name stars in here like Tom Cruise or Katherine Heigle, and because of only casting good actors and relying on script and acting, it gets overlooked. Which is a travesty. I give it an A.Would I watch again? - Yes I would, but again it would lose some of the effect.
