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

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Warning - spoilers!I wish I could give it a zero... First of all this movie has no drama, the story just unfolds, even the part about the divorce ceremony, which could have been interesting, is just a series of shots that make little sense and lasts about 10 minutes. Then the ending. This guy acts on a whim, leaves his pregnant wife, organizes a divorce ceremony, and then just changes him mind and proposes again?? The only thing that would have made the movie better was for the wife to kick him in jewels and yell no. Unfortunately she says yes, totally destroying the movie.

I hate Mike for putting his wife through trauma during her pregnancy and equally giving hopes to Alex that she is the one for him since long years... What a bastard that he couldn't take any of his relation seriously....neither Alex forced him nor did his wife was a typical nagging wife with whom he had a bad marriage happening then why the hell such a bad decision. For guys like this not just marriage but relationships too are just a passing cloud...what do you guys think...I know it's a movie and I enjoyed the story as well but in reality what do you guys think of such a jerk or overall situation. This movie is pretty dumb, but if you think about it, life is unfair, you don't get what you want.

I don't know why this movie got such poor reviews. I thought it was very depressing and realistic. I think that this movie should've won many awards because it taught many viewers, especially me, to enjoy life, and not take things for granted. I was crying by the end and it was so good to know he made his gut decision and stayed with Dylan!!!! I think that too many people don't see life in the bigger picture. There are people everyday watching you and you have to think before you act and this movie teaches you to think before you act so it doesn't hurt anyone else. In my lifetime, there has been many tough decisions I had to make that were related to this movie, and I really appreciate it being put on the big screen for everyone else to appreciateVery Good Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know how sometimes you are watching a movie and you are wondering, how did someone involved with the production not see that there are significant shortcomings. This is one such movie. The cast isn't all bad, Elliott Gould is excellent of course, Lainie Kazan has seen better days, Nadia Bjorlin has something weird going on with her eyes (apparently she is from Days of our Lives), Maeve Quinlan and Robin Riker (both from The Bold and The Beautiful according to IMDb) look and act like soapie actors.Jonathan Bennett in the lead as Michael is all over the place. Andrea Bowen (Julie from Desperate Housewives) is quite good, and Keith Robinson as Michael's best friend is probably the best in the movie. The wonderful Richard Kind has a very small but good part. I should mention Jamie-Lynn Sigler, she is very good, but her character is not likable, and the presentation she is giving early in the movie in a college lecture room is ridiculously banal. Embarrassingly so.Stuff just doesn't make sense, the internal logic (even for a rom-com, and we like rom-coms) is in tatters, and the script is very poor indeed. On the plus side, the movie is well shot - at least it looks professional.But, it just isn't any good. I can only give it 2/10.
