Good story, Not enough for a whole film
A Major Disappointment
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This poor movie went nowhere! Great one liners, and filmed like a rom com. If they had have created an indie vibe they may have gotten away with the slower pace, but as it is this movie just dragged and had me cringing for the last 45 minutes.
I like the fact that Leslie plays the lead character instead of supporting, for a change. However i found the movie to be too long, especially considering the fact that there is not that great of plot. I can honestly say that i did not laugh one single time, and i love all comedies. The movie made me Wonder why they stayed together, because of the lack of chemestry between the characters as well as the actors. I didn't really root for any of the characters, and found many scenes confusing and boring. I really wanted to like and enjoy this comedy, but i did not.
Seriously, i don't remember a lot of normal or even funny conversations in this movie. actually this movie is NOT a comedy! its a drama movie! all the time people shouting and fighting over stupid things. it was so bad i almost wanted to leave the theatre in the middle of the movie which i usually never do. i don't remember much of the story but at least i remember there wasn't any story worth telling. just a glimpse into the life of a dysfunctional family where everyone is unhappy.
about a bad marriage. I originally thought this was a different movie and had high expectations...then ever so slowly I realized I simply MUST have gotten it wrong. I had to have mixed this movie up with another, an error in communication. My brain, eyes and ears paid the price for this egregious error. Nothing about this is realistic at all. If you're 40, you've more than likely scrapped that bad marriage somewhere in your 30s. It was excruciating to sit through just over 2hrs of this garbage. I want to take a guitar string and whip everyone in the face - including those irritating children. Whose children behave in the manner these two did? Everything was super exaggerated and ridiculous. What kids continue YELLING AT FULL VOLUME, SCREAMING AND BANGING on their locked parent's door after being told to stop??!! Multiple times! What teenage girl is perpetually angry, yelling, whiny and mean --even to her parents 24x7x365??? Oh wait, it's because she got her period....F*ck off, F*ck right the h3ll off. This movie is ridiculous and vulgar. Yes, more vulgar than me saying F*CK OFF to this movie. And oh yeah, F*ck off movie. I bought none of what was being sold here and honestly this is pretty much the polar opposite of 40. I wanted to be articulate and give a decent review but anger over the 2+hrs I lost watching this - AT WORK - has fractured my mind and this became a rant instead. Abhorrent, self-absorbed, pretentious POS.
