Daniel Ray As was really well discussed in the other reviews, this man Otto gets dumped suddenly by his wife of 11 years, who shares a daughter with him. Suddenly Otto is harshly returned to life as a single man, theoretically looking for a new female partner.For the most part he has not a clue as to how to proceed, and mostly due to his looks (which, for his age are well above average) he keeps finding women who are only interested in immediate sex with no elements of friendship or plain old-fashioned hanging out together for the profound yet simple pleasure of the other person's company. Then, close to the end of the movie, he encounters a woman he knew from decades ago who genuinely likes Otto to spend time with, AND have sex with (at perhaps a slower pace that is so much better in my opinion), AND is willing to take a huge leap of faith inviting Otto to just "drop everything" and join her in an indefinitely long trip to Costa Rica that long ago she planned to start, plane tickets and all, the very next day at 6:45am! This woman I can only describe as a "dream mate" she is so fine, especially relative to every other woman that Otto has known or met including his soon-to-become ex-wife. In my mind I kept routing for Otto "Do It!"..."Just do it!" Then his cellphone rings, and Otto's very *realistic* decision can be deduced. Let's just put it this way: if it was me, no force on Earth could have stopped me from going to Costa Rica!

Carrie Hayes What appears on the surface to be a quirky slice of life movie turns out to be a thoughtful and sensitive look at finding romance and adventure following the breakup of a marriage. Walter's encounters with women are sexy, bizarre and wonderfully funny while at the same time he struggles to become a successful single parent to his nine old daughter and move on with his life. Scenes featuring Social media and sitting in front of the screen as Walter dabbles in connecting online are pitch perfect, as are his efforts to be his better self, navigating the murky waters of women looking for excitement. Marvelous writing and laid back directorial style.Go see this movie!

elizabeth hamilton GOODBYE TO ALL THAT explores the aftermath of the abrupt dissolution of an 11-year marriage. Blind-sided, Otto Wall (Paul Schneider) receives the devastating news that his marriage is over from his wife's, Annie's, (Melanie Lysnskey), therapist (Celia Weston). This announcement has a profound affect on, not only Otto, but the couple's precocious daughter, Edie (a delightful performance from Audrey Scott) and makes for very funny, and at times, sad consequences as Otto discovers the rapturous joys and painful pitfalls of dating and single parenthood in our modern age.4 stars to the strong cast that also includes Heather Graham and Anna Camp. 4 stars to Angus MacLachlan, writer and director, who also brought us the beloved JUNEBUG. And lastly 4 stars to the lovely North Carolina setting.

lor_ GOODBYE TO ALL THAT is an offbeat saga of a clueless guy finally finding his way. Too many plot gimmicks and difficulty in relating to the main character marks this as an interesting but unsuccessful exercise.Paul Schneider, best known on TV's Parks and Recreation, stars as Otto, a runner who stumbles in the opening sequence, severely injuring his foot. A doctor later mockingly threatens to cut it off if he doesn't stop stressing the limb, but Otto predictably keeps running anyway. His character is an athlete used to persevering through pain, and writer- director Angus MacLachlan surely piles on plenty of pain for the rest of the film (script has him accident-prone, even losing a capped tooth twice, once swallowed).His beautiful wife Annie (Kiwi thesp Melanie Lynskey) drops the first bomb by inviting him early on to a therapy session, in which he's flatly informed their marriage is over. Otto is so clueless he doesn't even know she's seeing a therapist, and the comical scene sets up the premise of his being a schlub who doesn't really pay attention to what's going on in his life.Actress-heavy cast has women portrayed in very negative terms, with Otto always the center of attention and carrying film's point-of-view. While not overtly sexist this motif is tiresome as we are treated to the self-centered wife, callous therapist, strange and slightly threatening boss (comedienne Amy Sedaris effective in a brief turn) and a succession of extremely flakey women who all hop in the sack with Otto once he's separated from his wife. Outlandish (and unbelievable) premise is that these beautiful women can't keep their hands off him, just as in a lousy vintage porn film. GOODBYE TO ALL THAT is far from porn of course, with the sex scenes played more for laughs than eroticism. Guest star Heather Graham even manages to consummate a zip-less intercourse with Otto without removing a single article of her clothing. A cute sex toy is featured in several scenes for effective laughs and even plot device (pun intended) usage, qualifying the film in contemporary standards of vulgar comedy. The film's likely R rating, however, will undoubtedly stem from frequent dropping of the F-bomb on the soundtrack, rather than visual sex content.Schneider tries hard but fails to be believable as the ladies' man hero (though I see one fan compares his looks rather wishfully to tennis great Roger Federer). As written, the role's combination of ineptness and wishy-washyness with allure and sexiness would probably call for the talents of the late Dudley Moore - I can't think of a current A-list star who would qualify, maybe Ashton Kutcher in a stretch.Only truly sympathetic character is Otto's nine-year-old daughter (well-played by Audrey Scott), around which his life ultimately revolves. She is the force behind the film's "lady or the tiger" ending, which rounds out auteur MacLachlan's themes.Film reminded me vaguely of John Cheever's classic story THE SWIMMER, which was made into an unsuccessful film starring Burt Lancaster in the '60s, though Otto's journey doesn't rise to the allegorical level of its predecessor. Over-dependence (as in so many 21st Century movie and TV productions) on mobile technology to carry the story forward is a major drawback. In this case Otto uses Facebook or his mobile phone to call or text women leading to the hookups. His lost love crush on Lara (Heather Lawless) is rekindled after seeing her at a 20 year reunion, but he only sees her (in 2 scenes) face to face for less than 5 minutes, ruining the "reconnected" premise.North Carolina locations are attractive and perhaps the film's greatest asset.
