The greatest movie ever made..!

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The trailer is rather heavy, but be warned the actual movie is totally different!I really love some of director Jason Reitmans work, but this movie was forced upon Reitman by the hollywood studios, after his last movie flopped. Reitman had little control over the end product. His talent still shines through, but the end product is a boring mess, because the studios began interferring with the creative process in order to sell this depressing story at the box office. It failed miserably anyway...The problem is that this movie starts out pretty good. When I started watching it, I really was into it. Because of the great actors in it, I got seduced in watching it anyway, thinking it would be another great Reitman movie. WRONG. This is one of those movies that slowly grinds to a halt. The story is just a mess. There are way to many different characters. The movie lasts for 2 hours! Probably it is trying to be true to the story of the original book, but films that literally copy the storyline of books are often complete failures at the box office.The Internet in itself is neither good nor bad, it's how it's used that matters. Reitman tries to tackle the matter of how technology is retarding the way we relate to one another. For those who just came out of a cave and have never heard of the internet, yes for those ex-cave dwellers this would be the ideal movie! For anyone else this movie wil work better than a sleeping pill, because it is mindnumbingly boring and pointless.

If you like witty comedy or action movie violence look away. But if you like hard hitting drama with brilliant story telling fantastic acting and a serious and relevant plot then Men, Women and Children is perfect. M,W&C is a modern classic that forces the watcher to see the real world impact of sex, high school gossip and the internet. From porn addiction and peer pressure to the video game phenomenon that effects the vast majority of the western world's young adults this film not only shows the struggle of the parents but also an incitefull view at the teenage aspects of life

Men, Women & Children is an ensemble film by director Jason Reitman. Although Adam Sandler gets top billing, this is not an "Adam Sandler" film. It's very much an ensemble and he is simply playing a character messed in with other characters. Sandler's character is an online addict who discovers scrambling through his teenage son's computer. Meanwhile, his wife (Rosemarie DeWitt) seeks extramarital spice online. Then there's a high school football star Tim (Ansel Elgort) who quits the game to focus on an online virtual game- Guild Wars, to the consternation of his dad (Dean Norris). The latter starts dating a photographer (Judy Greer) who fosters her teen daughter's Hollywood aspirations by posting sensitive photos of her online. Representing the opposite extreme, Jennifer Garner plays a mother who monitors her level-headed daughter's mobile devices.As a whole this film at first feels similar to a documentary then somewhat shifts and feels more like a television soap opera or dramatic mini-series split into several episodes. The running time of the film is almost 2 hours long, which is given since there are a lot of characters, and it's needed in giving them their proper screen time to develop any sense of plot. What doesn't work for this film, is the overall mood and tone of the film. It feels mostly very quiet, bland and depressing. The characters aren't too interesting or anything new (standard teen seeking relationships, parents not trusting teens, etc.) The film is more so of a journey and just feels by the end of the film, as if was it worth it. One can see why this film was a box office flop, as I barely recall it being distributed or promoted.

I found this movie great. Great cast and the storyline is well made as well. The only thing that was annoying was Jennifer Garner's role as she was made as a total douchebag in the film. But in all this was a great film from Jason Reitman. The story explain's what the movie is about perfectly. The movie is definitely re-watchable as it is great from beginning to end. It explains the social and relationships accurately which is what a great film Is all about. I gave it a 9/10 and definitely will re-watch it more then once as it's great. I'd also recommend it as watchable for other people as it's a great written film And definitely worth the purchase.
