Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

kariann-marti This is described as a romantic comedy. That, it is not. This a drama that happens to include romantic and comedic elements. It's not a bad look at the struggle of addiction, and brings to light sex addiction, which isn't talked about very much. I wasn't thrilled with the aspect of questioning what's wrong with someone who chooses an addict, and there was one very uncomfortable (for me) sex scene. But overall, it's not a waste of time to watch.

TxMike I came across this movie on Netflix streaming movies. It has good actors, is very nicely written and acted. The subject is intense, sex addiction, and there are many very intense scenes. But it is so well written that most of it comes off as very believable.Mark Ruffalo is the main character as Adam, who is celebrating 5 years of "sobriety", meaning in his case no sex and no masturbation. He does some very drastic things, in today's environment, to avoid temptation, no TV and no computer. When he travels to D.C. on business he has the hotel remove the TV from his room. He also acts as a coach for others who are still struggling, and after 5 years is thinking it might be time to explore a relationship.Adam's coach is Tim Robbins as Mike, who has been sober for a lot longer. But he has some residual issues with his son, 30-something Patrick Fugit as Danny, who has been estranged for a few years getting his self together in his own way. When Adam meets Gwyneth Paltrow as Phoebe, who seems to be perfect, he starts to explore the relationship, but it has some rough spots as he finds out she isn't perfect after all.Perhaps the most interesting is is Josh Gad as Neil, a young physician who is on probation for inappropriate touching in public places, attending meetings on a condition of his probation, but not at all committed to it. His low point is when he is fired after getting caught filming up-skirt his supervisor at work.Which brings me to my favorite character, Dede, played by Alecia Moore who is better known to most of us as the singer known as Pink. Dede is a mess, but she seems better equipped to handle her recovery than most of the others. She and Neil exchange phone numbers and become recovery friends, just a call away to support each other. Not a trained or experienced actress, Pink is just right in her role. The movie is very gritty and difficult to watch at times, it is so believable. But well worth the time.

GenXSurvivor I just finished watching this drama on DVD, and I was impressed. The film made me examine my own views on sex, and I think many men will as well. I'm sure a few women will too. Addiction takes many forms, and this is a new one to explore. The cast was uniformly excellent. Leads Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins and Gwyneth Paltrow were great, and the supporting actors were too. Josh Gad was good as the schluby guy, or at least one who appears that way. Alecia "Pink" Moore was also very good in her first film role. I was really dazzled by young Emily Meade in as Becky, and I look forward to seeing more of her. Patrick Fugit made me forget all about that nice boy character in "Almost Famous." Congrats to director Stuart Blumberg and all involved.

vanettelstarr I loved this movie!!! bravo for the brave souls who tackled it! I own a masters as a movie connoisseur, and have some familiarity with the 12 step program, myself. Amazing and righteously done! This film is so close to the experiences of an addict and or co-addict, that I was utterly convinced that the many who worked on this film really have a grasp on how quickly ones path can take a dark turn, if he/she is honest enough with themselves to broach this topic and turn themselves over to 12 step community and a higher power to get the help they need.This film elegantly captures the reality of "the life". Grace and nurture are definitely found and used, here, in the face of such grim subject matter of this film, which for some means life and death. This is a beautiful compassionate film which shows not only how tough relationships are in a "normal persons" life, but goes out of its way to show how much harder they are for those who face the imbalance of sexual/relational addiction in ones life; but it offers it in a compassionate mannerism of hope and faith in the light of such difficulties for those who are afflicted. WE still don't know what causes the mind this imbalance, but Im grateful that there are those out in the entertainment biz, who handle such delicate matters with a grace, compassion, love for our human brothers and sisters who suffer with this (and similar maladies), and maybe even offer a light to a better path...perhaps even an easier softer approach for many circumstance covered in this piece of work. Its not just a piece of art, but educational informative work and sometimes shows we can approach life with all the joy, humor and brevity needed to get us through one day at a time. Even one those played their part were showing the honesty of how humans behave and how forgiveness and love goes sooo far in the human condition of recovery. Thanks to all who worked on this film; its beautifully honest while being real.
