Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
celticldy ... I just don't get it. What is Hollywood trying to say here? We have a rated PG-13 movie with little girls prominently featured, and we have Reese Witherspoon, everyone's wholesome go-to girl-next-door in a romcom where she lets three strange men move in and allows them to touch and be alone with her daughters in some horribly inappropriate manners. Then she has sex with one of those strange men while still married and her kids catch them. These are not good messages for 13-year olds, or for anyone at any age. There were script (stiff, awkward), production and acting problems too which wouldn't have been so noticeable if they had paid as much attention to the basics as they did on set design, which was way over the top too perfect in every scene. A lot of little things could have been easily remedied like the scene where she's putting a bandaid on her husband's head, in the box of bandaids, which is bright pink in an otherwise dull scene so you notice it right away, is a single, unwrapped bandaid and all she had to do was pull off the sticky covers. Why didn't they do that right, especially in such a close up scene?And why did you paint the father as such a dolt when he was right, it was entirely inappropriate for those men to be so close to them. You could have at least had him shave his neck so he wouldn't look so raunchy in his close ups, unless you did that deliberately, which didn't move the story but it did distract the audience. The only message I went away with, and I should have gone away much sooner, is that this 'anything goes now' mentality in the lives this film portrays is an embarrassment.
Stoshie I like Reese Witherspoon. She is in the only bright spot in this movie. Beyond that, this movie is painfully boring. There is absolutely no chemistry between her and her younger lover. None. No way was that relationship the least bit believable. That ruins the movie right away. In fact, other than Reese, none of the actors felt authentic to me. Lots of stereotypes (especially the estranged husband), far too little originality. Note that I don't consider any of the above to be spoilers, since they are plot points that are shown early in the movie.Then there is the overall plot, which is completely unbelievable. Nothing about it rings true. I got bored halfway through, but stuck it out until the end, and then the ending had me shaking my head. Nope. No way did I buy that.I hated the use of what I guess you might call "montages", too, where there are multiple scenes of people interacting, with no dialog, just music. That's a sign of lazy film making to me.This might be a personal gripe of mine, but I don't like these movies about people tying to become directors or writers or actors in Hollywood. They feel like vanity projects on the part of the writers and/or directors. I just don't care and can't relate. My advice? Avoid. There are too many good movies out there to waste your time on this one.
Jack I like a movie with heart. It's nice not to see a movie without adults in costumes, violence and all the other negative aspects of life. It's a feel good movie with likeable characters. It is what it is. It was better than some Oscar nominated farces I've seen in the past. By the end of the movie it evoked a sense of what life among family and friends should be.
erikacunanan29 MORE REVIEWS AT booksequalhappiness.blogspot.comThe story is somewhat really weird but the cast made it work. Inviting three strangers to live with you is creepy and dangerous. However, if you don't overthink it, the movie was quite fun. I like Alice and I like how she managed her life. The three guys were also wonderful and helpful towards her and I love the bond that they created. I love each of the personality of the guys. They were also able to bond with Alice's children which was amazing. I was shocked to see Nat Wolff here and Pico Alexander was so handsome. I was also shocked to see Michael Sheen.
