Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

rogermass This is one of the nicest, funniest and touching movies of it's kind out there. I believe that it's down rated by the pseudo literary snobs. Baloney. If you've ever lost a marriage and had to deal with the kids in a caring way, you'll appreciate this movie. Jenine Garafolo and Randy Quaid are hilarious in their restaurant vignette and I think that the acting is really fine all the way around. This may not be a major Oscar winner but I like this movie personally better than most of them. The background music is tasteful and adds to the emotional effect of the movie overall. Actually this is a very funny movie about a very sad subject and it's honestly one of my absolute favorites.

lkessler41 I think this movie is highly underrated. Being a kid from parents who divorced (and thankfully, my dad only came around once after he abandoned us), I can totally relate to these characters.Paul Reiser is wonderful. Randy Quaid is outrageous! Matthew Modine is the quintessential guy...And the kids are utterly typical and crazy!And of course, the radio doc? Insane. This movie must be watched again and again to be appreciated--and those who say it's a crappy movie have not seen it.If you want a boring movie, this is NOT it. This movie is by turns funny, sad, outrageous and will make you laugh hysterically, cry, and pull your hair in frustration or say: "ha! I'd do that too!"The insults between the exes fly unabated, but they're classy insults. And while you would totally pull a stunt like the several shown in the movie, be grateful if you have a civil divorce. As this movie demonstrates--divorce can totally stink. And so can dating after your divorce.P.S. Jeanine Garofalo is outrageously funny!

mojo2004 I loved this movie from the start and I still love it.Fifty times no make that 100 times beter than "Parenthood" it had good actors that matched their character's personalities to me.I'm a huge fan of Mathew Modine but the two best actors were Randy Quaid and Janeane Garofalo.Both were adorable and funny.All the kids were good too and kudos to Paul Rieser for a heartwarming performance with screen daughter Eliza Dushku.One bad thing-the pairing of the best friend with his buddy's ex-wife.Bull! They didn't have to go there.I bought this movie and I can watch it everyday.Funny,sweet, and I'm sure all families of divorce wish it was as easy as the movie made it.9/10 stars

dolphincop Randy Quaid at his comedic best, not to mention emotional roller coaster performances by Matthew Modine, Paul Riser, Janene Garafalo and Eliza Dushku. Quickly ranking in my top ten comedies. In addition, the heartfelt performances of the actors who portray the good, bad and ugly of divorce and all it brings to the proverbial table. This movie should be mandatory for anyone considering divorce.Also, Eliza Dushku's first very good performance should be noted as she is to become one of Hollywood's leading ladies in the near future.
