WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Simone Navarotti I'll skip right over how annoying it is that the camera constantly found itself buried in Chris Messina's somewhat ugly face and trout-like lips, and I'll go straight into why this sort of movie is destroying America...The final conclusion of this movie was as such: Marriage doesn't work. Marriage is outdated. There is no such thing as a loyal, happy, honest, fulfilling marriage. And if you marry someone, you will never be truly happy, you'll never truly know your partner, and you may eventually end up broken, lonely, and miserable--especially if you remain married.Okay...so what team of neurotic, philandering, adulterous, marriage-hating atheists wrote this film? I hardly know where to start. Are we to believe that instead of having committed, balanced, reasonable relationships with mature and loyal partners, we are instead supposed to have fleeting, unstable, unreliable, worthless, sex-based relationships? Are we supposed to spend our precious time on earth living with neurotic, unbalanced people who do not love us? People who only waste our resources while utterly failing to be a consistent, permanent partners in our lives? If that's the case, why half-step into unstable semi-committed relationships? If there are no ethics and no decency to be considered, no repercussions for our actions--no fallacy to opening up our lives to unstable people who exploit us, then why not just invest every coin into hookers and blow? Because you can't have it both ways. Either you WORK for a balanced, healthy monogamous relationship with a person that you can trust and love--or you descend into a bottomless pit of sexual exploitation.Worse, you will commit this exploitation OVER AND OVER AGAIN, as you date and then discard multiple partners. I don't mean to preach, but this type of irresponsible behavior is EXACTLY why there are so many embittered, angry, distrusting people in the dating world. They have believed and therefore practiced the godless drivel preached in films like this one.Marriage is not evil. It has not "expired." The institution of marriage is not the problem, nor is it the reason why any particular marriage failed. Adultery is the problem. Lying is the problem. Dishonesty, stealing, rage, abuse, distrust, laziness, misuse of joint resources, IMMATURITY--these are the reasons that marriages fail! The institution of marriage has not become "bad" just because a lot of people are too selfish, envious, unfaithful and greedy to fulfill marriage vows properly.I dislike any film that is arrogant enough to judge the institution of marriage, and worse, gives such an imbalanced, deceptive and dishonest conclusion. It just sets people up to be selfish and stupid, while they attempt to make the rest of humanity their unwitting victims.

TxMike Watched in via streaming Netflix.Chris Messina is Ira Black, son of two therapists, excuse me, 'analysts', and has a personal history of problems making decisions. As an example when he goes to he street café he orders one thing, then as the waiter starts to go away, changes his order, and does that a couple of more times. On a more serious issue, he has a girlfriend for 12 years but has not yet been able to decide to get married. Jennifer Westfeldt is perky Abby Willoughby, who works in sales at a downtown gym. She has a knack for making friends with almost anyone. In fact, when on the subway and a guy brandishes a gun and asks for money, she goes up to him, asks him how much he needs, then proceeds to calmly collect from the other riders. The love story starts when Ira, on a whim after seeing a poster, goes into the gym and is given a tour by Abby. Somehow she falls for him right away. She likes his face. She hugs his bare tummy after they compare 'bulges' in the mirror. He is taken aback by her interest, and he seems to like her too. But is shocked when she asks him, right away, to marry her.So the unusual story takes many twists and turns on its way to its eventual conclusion. While it in no way helps anyone figure out where they might want to go with their lives, it is a fun and entertaining movie.MAJOR SPOILERS: Ira and Abby go ahead and get married quickly, even though they don't know much about each other. Then certain revelations leak out, like the two other husbands Abby had had and then divorced. And Ira begins to feel uncomfortable that Abby doesn't seem to have any ambition, being satisfied with a small job that allows her to survive. They actually get the marriage annulled, then they re-marry. Meanwhile her dad begins an affair with his mother, which causes further family stress. In the end Ira and Abby are in bed, discussing their plans, including "I will never again ask you to get married" and they both sign the new divorce degree, happy to be in love.

T Y I liked this better when it was called about 20 other titles. Basically this steals the entire concept from Dharma and Greg with impunity. It was funnier as a sitcom. It was also more palatable in half hour bursts. Here the movie runs through about two and half romantic comedies worth of twists and situations, developing in an artistically random order. Half as many, with adequate writing would have been just fine. This showers viewers with clichés like a spring storm.The characters are dumb so they can keep doing ethically naive, behaviorally idiotic things. These strangle-able, irritating naifs stumble over cliché after cliché, and are so ignorant (as are fans of this crap) that they don't know they're clichés. Somehow there's still time for product placement. Skip it, it's not worth your time.

moviegeek75-1 I saw this film last month at the BJFF and it's terrific! It's like a Jewish "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" but with a lot more intelligence and insight. Jennifer Westfeldt wrote a great script and is so likable in the film. Robert Cary did a great job directing. Chris Messina is an exciting new comedic actor, he plays a spot on New York Jewish neurotic. I loved him on "Six Feet Under" as Ted too. Judith Light and Fred Williard also deliver great performances. There are great cameos from Jason Alexander and a bunch of the "SNL" guys. The audience loved the movie, it's got more laughs than any comedy i've seen in a long time. I hope it's going to be out in theaters soon as I need to send my friends, family and therapist to go see it.
