Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
angelgrl-69952 I really wanted to like this movie. I love the cast members and had high hopes but was sorely disappointed.
makaylarich To rate this one star is seriously REACHING. I decided to watch because of the great cast and storyline. Well, was I ever disappointed. Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson act like immature children who shouldn't be in relationships to begin with. Anna Kendrick's character is obviously not a good match for Johnsons. BUT for some reason they stay together? It's an unrealistic view of relationships. At least, no relationship I'd like to be involved in. I'm a young, married person. I find the fact that not ONE person in this movie was able to stay loyal, quite disgusting and disappointing. I understand wanting to have fun and drink, but this is extreme. Wilde and Johnson are both alcoholics. The ending is one of the worst I've seen. SPOILER ALERT: It doesn't seem like Wilde and Johnson end up together, but really, we have no idea. It's left to interpretation, which can end up being intriguing (Inception) OR horrible - this film. Don't waste your time like I did.
TxMike I found this movie on Netflix streaming movies. My wife chose to skip it, I think she made a mistake. It is a very pleasant relationship movie.One of the reasons I enjoyed it is for the beer theme. Much of it is set inside a small brewery (filmed in Chicago) and many of the characters work there, making beer, drinking beer, and discussing life.The story focuses on two couples, Kate and Jake each work at the brewery, seem very compatible, are best friends because each already has a significant other. Jake is planning to eventually marry Jill, and Kate seems in love with Chris.When the four of them go away to a lake house on Lake Michigan for a weekend it seems that the guys are paired up with the wrong girls. But nothing sinister happens, it just opens eyes to other possibilities.Many who prefer action movies may not like this movie because not a lot happens, there are a number of conversations that go on a bit, but the script writing and the acting are first rate. It all comes over as very believable, that these could be real couples struggling with these real issues.Olivia Wilde is Kate, Jake Johnson is Luke, Anna Kendrick is Jill, and Ron Livingston in his typical understated style is Chris.
Danielle This is why people hate independent films. I love independent films, just not one that epitomizes what (can be) wrong with them. This film could literally be 45 minutes long. The director insists on extending shots that would be much more effective if they were shorter: for example, people driving in awkward silence in a car - the camera lingers and lingers on them, as if the director thinks that the audience needs time to understand. We got it, it's awkward, there's tension. This happens repeatedly. The actors are terrific, but the story is frustrating. I don't need a Hollywood ending, but after awhile, these two people, that you're initially rooting for, are just manipulative and annoying and foolish. And Ron Livingston is heinously wasted, disappearing halfway through. What looked like it would be a charming gem turned out to be just a forgettable waste of time.
