For this review lets start out with the negatives that came with this film. Well firstly the whole film seemed to move along a path extremely fast. A better explanation would be that they would be doing this one thing and then BAM they are already onto the next part in the story. So I guess it seemed like the plot was a bit rushed. Then of course with every single romance (or romantic comedy) comes along the predictability factor of the movie. This movie is pretty predictable. I was like, "This is going to happen later on." Then guess what happened? What I had guessed. So yeah just a tad predictable, but using tad as an understatement. Then there is Megan Fox. As hot as I think she is, she really isn't a wonderful actress. She always uses the same tone for every single part she acts, and in every movie she plays the extremely hot but snotty girl. Can she even attempt a serious role?
Now we move onto the positives of this film. Well I actually enjoyed this movie a lot, it had me laughing pretty hard in some points. Then it touched my heart in some points. This movie did a really good job at explaining really what it is like with kids, and the other kind of relationships that are out there and how some fall apart. This movie takes a good look at being friends with married couples and how everything changes in any kind of relationship once there is a kid. Now for the acting in this film, well I really loved all of the lead roles performances in this film (expect Megan's of course). John Hamm, Kristen Wigg, Maya Rudolph, Adam Scott, Chris O'Dowd, Jennifer Westfeldt, and Edward Burns. I felt like all of the performances coming out of this cast did a very good job at making me believe that they were there character, which makes you enjoy the movie even more. Now I just looked to see who went and directed this movie and now I love when an actor/actress makes there own movie that they are even starred in, and even better when they make a good movie too. Jennifer Westfeldt directed, wrote, and starred in this movie. Every aspect of her involvement in this film was very good, except for the writing. She had a good story to tell with an interesting topic, just the plot could have been better. I am glad I decided to pick this movie to rent one day.
Which now leads me to the so all-in-all section here of this review. Well even though I did enjoy this movie a lot, it had a few problems with it. So I am only going to give it a rent worthy rating, along with my dat-night rating. It is a good movie to watch once with that special someone. Just rent it and cuddle up together. You both should enjoy it. On the scale out of five, I am going to have to give this film a 3 out of 5. It was an enjoyable movie but had a jumpy plot and that will bug me, plus a little bit predictable.
Well thanks for staying tuned here. I am sorry for lack of review and motion picture information (because there has been a lot in the past days). Just been busy here at home, promising to do my best at reviewing again more. Plus I am still working on a new tab for all of you to enjoy here soon. I just can't figure it out 100% yet. Takes some time. Now make sure you do stay tuned for more, I am going to try and watch some movies for review today. Thanks for your continued support and make sure you stay tuned for more . . .
