Ratings and reviews

This is not a good move, it's more like a series of disjointed scenes and monologues. it watches like someone had a few good jokes and scene ideas that they wanted to put together, so they crammed it all into a movie and hoped for the best. What journey do our characters take? they are all simply in an uncomfortable position because of their own dumb choices. they keep making these poor choices and refuse to learn and grow throughout the movie. it's all first world problems. Why should we care? any semblance of a storyline is constantly derailed by an awkward scene that exists only to put another awkward joke in. there are plenty of promising names, so it's a shame it's just so bad. don't waste your time.

This is not a comedy. It's a stark look at a dysfunctional couple that is difficult to watch, and only provides mild relief here and there. Would get higher rating if the genre was not so misleading.

This movie was a sad little peek at the depressing lives of two 40 year olds. A few funny sceens but nothing to laugh about. Just smile and think wow, if that was me.
