Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

dthomas-52961 Clearly one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. The lead character (if you can call her that)..... Jennifer Westfeldt, makes the movie almost unwatchable because she can't act, and her "overuse of plastic surgery" is so abhorrent that it's hard to watch her. I think her husband is famous, which explains why she got a movie. Anyway, the movie's not funny, extremely predictable and slow. Don't watch this, go watch paint dry instead. It had other GREAT actors in it, which made me think it would be good, but it was so disappointing!

pcp23 First off, what a tremendous waste of Kristen Wiig, Chris O'Dowd, and Maya Rudolph. Secondly, I've never hated Adam Scott in anything but wow, having him talk constantly about hot women with big cans and how Megan Fox was flexible in bed was super weird and off-putting coming from him, the ultimate sensitive proto-hipster. I wanted him to get hit by a bus pretty much the entire movie. His hairstyling was basically a master class on how to look like a supreme douche. And Westfeldt, oh man. She wrote this steaming pile of dogturd, and in it she's this perfect saint who is a milquetoast of the first order, and plays the old 'I can't understand why he'd be interested in little old me!!' bit like the fate of humanity depends on it. I'll tell you exactly how this piece of garbage got made: Jon Hamm: hey everyone! My girlfriend wrote this awesome screenplay, I want you all to be in it! Everyone else: Sounds great!! (Thinking) oh god, we have to do it, he's Don Draper for Christ's sake...ULGH this screenplay is so bad...Tina fey nailed it when he was on 30 rock and had the whole plot line about people doing things for him cause he's a handsome idiot...Even though they SPOILER ALERT FOR THE MORONS WHO DIDN'T FIGURE THIS MOVIE OUT FROM THE PREVIEW get together at the end, the entire movie just rags on marriage and having kids just like you would expect brainless, beautiful, rich white people like westfeldt and Hamm to do. One of the damning things about Megan Fox's character in the movie was that she voted for bush in 2004. Eyeroll. F you, Hollywood aholes, god forbid anyone have opinions that don't exactly align with yours, and if they do they're ANIMALS. Oh and westfeldt's character moves to Brooklyn cause she can't afford private school or some garbage, but somehow she can afford to decorate her old apartment and the new house like she lives in a Nancy Meyers movie. One last thing--in one scene, Westfeldt is wearing FLARE LEG JEANS and it just perfectly encapsulated for me how out of touch this movie is.

tinyone2 This is everything you would expect of a romantic comedy.Although predicable and formulaic, I still found this a good night in. Nice, relaxing no brain entertainment.All the characters seem very interesting although the movie doesn't explore any of these characters and just focuses on the two future love birds. Some of these other story lines may have been more interesting. For what this is (i.e. A lazy night in in front of the tele) this movie was OK.I do however wish writers would stop using swear words because they couldn't think of a word that would be more descriptive and intelligent.

nathanschubach There's no way to sugarcoat this review with film class rhetoric to describe the film. It was a romantic drama with a slight dash…a slight dash…of comedy. I cried more than I thought to laugh at any of these scenes, and I'm a dude. I enjoy romantic moments in movies, what can I say. The scene with Adam Scott finessing the dinner he bought for his baby-mama: yeah, I cried. It was thoughtful. I cried when she was brought to confession (and ultimate realization later in the film) about her feelings for her baby-daddy.However, this falls under the "new progressive social ideas and experiments" category of film script which can make the viewer more perplexed about how a friendship like the one shared in the movie would actually be like than to exhibit known-emotions about such a situation. Story aside, the actors did great. I recognize them mostly from comedic and improv origins (and from various appearances on my favorite podcasts), but familiarity with the comedy-world aside, I was astounded at their ability to turn off the laughs and turn up the drama in these characters.The ending felt forced, to me, and the emotions and the dialogue was a little askew from what I can believe out of the two main characters. Some of the directing of the children (if I have to nitpick) was just ridiculous; it's as if every director feels that every child is rambunctious and uncontrollable around their parents in every social situation. The characters themselves were a bit "on model" with characters we've seen in other movies, too… even some who look alike (like Adam Scott reminds me of Tom Cruise in "Vanilla Sky" with his fancy job and New York living while trying to have sex with every suitable woman he chooses).I wish the video streaming service I watched it on didn't sell me the movie as a comedy; it was clearly drama throughout. I remember making my first chuckle to myself at 39 minutes into the movie. I had to give the movie 4/10 stars because it was right on the fence of making a good film (which would make it 5/10 stars), but the question I ask myself is "would you recommend this to anyone?" I have to say, no, which drops it down a peg.
