Alicia I love this movie so much

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

katiebee09 This is one of those films that I almost turned off a couple times, but got hooked back in with the humor and wit. It's a definite off-the-wall romantic comedy with enough quirkiness to make the characters and the story lovable. The thing that kept turning me off was the constant reference to the need for therapy, therapists, and over-analysis by Ira, the main character who is neurotic and has been in the therapy system his whole life. Fortunately, everything else the movie has to offer helps alleviate the constant stress I experienced thinking over and over "just let it go, Ira! Choose to be happy and accept your wife and her love and imperfections!!!!" I think, for the general masses, this wouldn't be a huge issue, and overall would be seen as an enjoyable, quirky film with a great amount of humor, just enough drama, and a good touch of heart.

Simone Navarotti I'll skip right over how annoying it is that the camera constantly found itself buried in Chris Messina's somewhat ugly face and trout-like lips, and I'll go straight into why this sort of movie is destroying America...The final conclusion of this movie was as such: Marriage doesn't work. Marriage is outdated. There is no such thing as a loyal, happy, honest, fulfilling marriage. And if you marry someone, you will never be truly happy, you'll never truly know your partner, and you may eventually end up broken, lonely, and miserable--especially if you remain married.Okay...so what team of neurotic, philandering, adulterous, marriage-hating atheists wrote this film? I hardly know where to start. Are we to believe that instead of having committed, balanced, reasonable relationships with mature and loyal partners, we are instead supposed to have fleeting, unstable, unreliable, worthless, sex-based relationships? Are we supposed to spend our precious time on earth living with neurotic, unbalanced people who do not love us? People who only waste our resources while utterly failing to be a consistent, permanent partners in our lives? If that's the case, why half-step into unstable semi-committed relationships? If there are no ethics and no decency to be considered, no repercussions for our actions--no fallacy to opening up our lives to unstable people who exploit us, then why not just invest every coin into hookers and blow? Because you can't have it both ways. Either you WORK for a balanced, healthy monogamous relationship with a person that you can trust and love--or you descend into a bottomless pit of sexual exploitation.Worse, you will commit this exploitation OVER AND OVER AGAIN, as you date and then discard multiple partners. I don't mean to preach, but this type of irresponsible behavior is EXACTLY why there are so many embittered, angry, distrusting people in the dating world. They have believed and therefore practiced the godless drivel preached in films like this one.Marriage is not evil. It has not "expired." The institution of marriage is not the problem, nor is it the reason why any particular marriage failed. Adultery is the problem. Lying is the problem. Dishonesty, stealing, rage, abuse, distrust, laziness, misuse of joint resources, IMMATURITY--these are the reasons that marriages fail! The institution of marriage has not become "bad" just because a lot of people are too selfish, envious, unfaithful and greedy to fulfill marriage vows properly.I dislike any film that is arrogant enough to judge the institution of marriage, and worse, gives such an imbalanced, deceptive and dishonest conclusion. It just sets people up to be selfish and stupid, while they attempt to make the rest of humanity their unwitting victims.

TheFilmBabes This movie was wonderful!!!! They did such a great job casting it too. Both of the main characters were outstanding in this movie! Truthfully I haven't seen any other movies with these actors in it, so I wasn't expecting a lot from them, but they were both perfect for this movie!! I expect to see a lot more of both of them because someone out there is gonna see this and want to put them in their movies. I laughed the entire time! Anyone who's ever been in a relationship, or even anyone who hasn't, will appreciate the humor in this one. It's all about love, marriage and what comes along with that (arguments, crazy in-laws etc).Thanks to all involved in the making of this movie! I truly enjoyed it, this won't be the last time i watch it!

jdevriend Admittedly I'm hard on romantic comedies. Too often they are wildly unrealistic, filled with characters who are inexplicably wealthy and who act like people you just want to punch in the face because they're so neurotic and self-centered. At least this one doesn't have that problem.But it has a different problem. Westfeldt doesn't really address the movie's main questions. Is it best to just "go with it", or do you have to build your relationship like you would build a building? How important is marriage, and what's the point of it anyway? Why can't people talk to one another directly? What happens to your present when your past jumps up to haunt you? If you love each other, does it really matter what your life ambition is?These would be great things to think about, but instead Westfeldt bogs down the movie by having Ira's mom get into an affair with Abby's dad. Then when this news comes to light, everyone withdraws to their separate corners and plastic surgeons and therapists. (By the way, you could see the "therapists screw everything up" angle coming from the first five minutes of the movie - in fact, I'm still waiting for a "New York romance" movie to not involve a massive amount of complaining to therapists. Or analysts, as Ira's parents take pride in calling themselves.) Granted, it was at least funny to watch. But there's a scene near the end where Abby pulls in all the therapists, both sets of parents, herself, and Ira for a giant session. While everyone else starts yelling at each other, Ira and Abby look across the room at each other and mentally reconcile. The most telling thing to me was that at that moment, you could see how many unnecessary characters there were in the movie because the room was filled with them as Ira and Abby walked out together.
