Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Payno 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.
lionel-libson-1 I had heard that Jill Clayburgh was a fine actress, but after seeing her enraptured by Tambour I realize she's a GREAT actress...the film has two or three original moments, tiny islands in an ocean of clichés.Tambour gets the Dooley Wilson Fake Piano Playing Award for using his fingers as a dust mop in the jazz club scenes.The most gratuitous moment comes in the hospital when his mother suffers a Hollywood stroke(no p-paralysis, no speech impairment)...he turns to the night nurse, pulls out a bill, and asks her to get a coffee for mom...no"excuse me", no "Are you busy?", typical Hollywood belief that others are props, with no thoughts, lives or responsibilities...speaking of which--what was Clayburgh's job? We see her chatting with a client, then she's off to the sex toy shop...
srhabu71 we just laughed soooo hard...nearly passed out from lack of air....sure feels good to laugh. I'm so glad i was born with "Happy Genes" . Exciting movie of mid-life divorcees . recommend to watch..will not be disappointed
George Parker "Never Again" tells of a single middle aged man (Tambor) and woman (Clayburgh) who find each other, have good sex, and then begin to wrestle with issues as they search warily for deeper meaning. The film jerks from the outlandish to the sublime and back again making for an unpredictably bumpy ride while conjuring moments of hilarity and warmth. "Never Again" is another Schaeffer love it or hate it flick which is the work of a creative genius or sexually obsessed hack depending on who you talk to. Given its middle aged focus and explicit sexual content, "Never Again" will play best with more mature audiences who can handle vulgar language, absurd comic relief, and still appreciate the sentimental and poignant moments without rationalization.

soopermike69 While on some levels it was very nice to see this genre take an older audience and characters as opposed to twenty-somethings, I think it was a little too much gush and not enough substantial script. It was amusing to hear a 54 year-old woman talk graphically about sex and get in amusing situations that are normally reserved for "American Pie" types, but it was too sappy and WAY too over-the top. In one scene, they are discovered by her college age daughter as they are in the middle of coupling. In another, she is trying on a "device" when Christopher and his mother come over to visit. I do not fit into what I imagine is the target audience in age. I did, however, go with some people who were: They liked it even less than me. While sweet and comedic. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Sorry, try again. Wait. Never try... Never try again...
