Just perfect...

Good concept, poorly executed.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A wonderful cast with amazing talent, yet they were dealt a bad script. With the emotional range of high school drop outs, the two main characters drag you from bored, to downright irritated. Supporting characters were the only reason to tune in. I can't pass up a Wiig or Rudolf movie. Good for maybe a few laughs, this film will leave you whelmed.. at best.

this movie is more drama than comedy it has two bridesmaids characters in this film this film has a great cast good story good directing explores the girl getting old looking form Mr right but settles for a friend who doesn't want anything like all their friends are happily married or are they but it shows friends can be friends and have their freedom when they want but Adam Scott character wants his freedom does not like his friend but she goes on dates but realizes after other dates that Scot's character is the one but its not the happy ever after film this is not a chick flick per say but life its self great 7/10 and a NEW York is the setting for this film

Jason Fryman (Adam Scott) and Julie Keller (Jennifer Westfeldt) are best platonic friends. They always joke around and have a long history. They are the quintessential single New Yorkers. After four years, their friends Leslie (Maya Rudolph) and Alex (Chris O'Dowd) are living in Brooklyn with kids. Their other friends Missy (Kristen Wiig) and Ben (Jon Hamm) also have kids and everybody is fighting. Married with children seems to mean grumpy with responsibilities. Jason and Julie want kids but not the anger. So they decide to have a kid but not the relationship with each other. Jason is dating Mary Jane (Megan Fox), and Julie finds Kurt (Edward Burns). The question is how would they make their modern family work.There are some funny moments. The premise is set up for an alternative rom-com. While I applaud trying new approaches to a traditional genre, there are a lot more awkwardness than comedy. It is uncomfortable and I'm not sure how much truth is in this movie. It feels very fake. I want to like this more. I like the cast. I like some of the jokes. The most important aspect of a successful rom-com is the chemistry. The joy of most rom-coms is watching the development of the chemistry. In this one, they start off with assumed chemistry. Then the addition of two credible people into the relationship does interfere with the relationship. In general, the movie needs more time with the two leads falling in love by themselves without other people. The whole thing feels a little bit off.

Pros: -This movie is very well shot, directed, and filmed. -The characters are real and engaging. -GREAT supporting cast. -The premise is dumb and common, and from the first scene you know exactly what kind of movie this is and where it is going, but the script itself is pretty damn fine, and keeps things intelligent and lively.Cons:-There's not much to Julie other than her character sketch. When she could show some personality and engage with the audience, she disintegrates into Ally McBeal-esque stuttering. Of course we want Jason to like her, but whereas we see a lot of who Jason is as a person, with Julie we have to take a lot of things on faith. When Jason has his first little Jerry Maguire speech at the ski lodge and talks about how they have similar taste and ideas about everything, I wasn't convinced that Julie hadn't just led him to believe that in the way people will chameleon for the person they're interested in, because all I knew about Julie even by that point was that she was young and successful and had nice hair.-2 or 3 different Jerry Maguire-esque speeches.-Adam Scott isn't really believable as the super-lothario he's supposed to be. -The premise itself is insipid. -The "Boy-loses-girl" moment is so huge that there's no believable possibility of recovery.-Awkward insertions of atheism, which are distracting.
