Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Gavin Purtell 'Maggie's Plan' is a fairly simple romantic-comedy - quite light and breezy, with a few laughs and nothing too dramatic to bog it down. Maggie (Gerwig) works at a New York university and her "plan" is to have a child by herself, since she's ready to be a mother (she's only meant to be 29, mind) and "borrows" some sperm off an old friend. The "plan" goes astray when she meets John (Hawke), a professor/anthropologist who's trying to write a novel, and falls in love with him.This is obviously further complicated by the fact John's married to Georgette (Moore), another professor - but she's Danish - and Maggie unwittingly becomes a homewrecker. She technically ends up with three kids - hers and John's, plus her two step-kids John & Georgette already had. Tony (Hader) and Felicia (Rudolph) play her long-married friends and have most of the laugh-out-loud moments. After a few years, Maggie's sick of John and her new "plan" is to get him back together with Georgette, which Tony accidentally gives away.The film's not as madcap as it may sound, and Gerwig plays Maggie as innocent and charming. It's real fun watching Hawke & Moore out of their comfort zone - Hawke as the bumbling/ignorant guy who has no idea what's going on in his life and Moore as a straight-and-narrow foreigner, but her accent is hilarious and her character a little deeper than it first appears. The film probably needed a bit more of Hader & Rudolph, but it's all quite sweet and nice, including the ending.

Funasian2005 I haven't watched anything so funny in a long long time. I really have no idea what's all the negative reviews that it got. This movie is so well written and directed and acted. I would definitely watch it again. I have no idea who is Rebecca Miller , i would really like to congratulate her for writing and directing such a beautiful comedy. It reminds me very much of Woody Allen but only better. Don't get me wrong i love most of Wooody Allen;s movies, but this one just nudge a little higher than Woody's.Should definitely be a contender for the Oscars. Totally overlooked.Please watch this if you are reading this. 10/10 from (i normally give out 1/10 scores).

Andres-Camara I like to watch independent movies, but I also like to watch movies that I like. If you like Woody Allen you will love this movie.I've looked at the clock so many times that I do not remember how many.I do not know what the movie wants to tell me. I do not know if they themselves know they want to tell. I do not know if they clarify in their lives in any sense.It's such a cold movie that I've thought many times that the movie happens to the boy in the cart, is he ever going to walk? I like Julianne Moore, I always like and this time is no less. Everyone else too. I was surprised to see Travis Fimmel, his crazy look is incredible.It has a white photograph like video camera. I do not know why they always think it only takes one script, the other parts are important.Ugly and simple plans, slow direction, do not know that bored.I know that Allen is a movie god, but I do not like him

zif ofoz Greta Gerwig as "Maggie" (an independent woman) bakes up a plan to become a single mother and in the process 'the plan' works but then backfires and puts her into a situation 'the plan' did not include - marriage.Gerwig gives a charming performance as Maggie steering a course through a relationship with a overly analytical writer once divorced husband, raising her three year old child, working her job as an instructor in a local college, and realizing her husband is still in love with his first wife! Maggie is in a pickle so she devises another plan!The setting is the New York City intellectual society living in row houses and meeting in cafe's to socialize. The cast includes Bill Hader, Ethan Hawke, Maya Rudolph, Julianne Moore, Wallace Shawn. This is a simple 'slice of life' type story about modern people looking for and finding happiness and direction in their life. It's probably a film more appreciated by a viewer that likes a romantic flavor in a story that looks into the feelings and emotion in the human spirit.This is a cheerful light story that includes just a touch of sorrow mixed into a picture of mostly happy people getting on with life. And don't forget the pickles!
