Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

MovieHoliks I believe I got this movie off STARZ and watched the other night. This is one of those little movies that has a lot of dialogue and atmosphere similar to a late night bar. Rashida Jones (also co-wrote) and Andy Samberg are the titular characters in what I would call a romantic comedy about post-divorce. The two characters attempt to maintain a friendship in the aftermath of their break-up but complications arise, such as Rashida moving on to other guys, Andy's GOY-geous baby mama shows up, etc.. Our two leads in this are spot on, and the writing is first-rate as well. And apparently, I was reading some place that Capt. Kirk himself has a little un-credited cameo..?? Well, anyhoo, what a refreshing piece of late night entertainment...Big thumbs up!...... Elijah Wood and Emma Roberts co-star.

Irishchatter It was a really sad movie involving what its like going through a divorce. It's a very difficult process like both of you could've probably spent months or even good long years together. I mean it is the right thing to do if you aren't both happy with how things go with the relationship, it is the best way to go. This film really makes you think a lot of what divorce is about.Andy Samburg was great playing as a very serious and humble guy. It's funny how Saturday Night Live stars just suddenly get serious film roles then act really funny. This reminds me of Bill Hader and Kirsten Wigg acting long lost twins, they were definitely chosen serious roles as well! Seriously I think Rashida Jones was definitely acting as the clown on this one. Her jokes were so dry and hilarious. Well done to whoever choose her to do this film!

eric262003 "Celeste and Jesse Forever" is the the story of two friends Celeste (Rashida Jones) and Jesse (Andy Samberg) who have known each other since high school, eventually they got married and now their relationship is on the rocks. Now that they're pushing 30, Celeste has her mind set on her job as a media consultant, while Jesse has no real hurries in seeking employment. While feeling bad about it, Celeste feels that by divorcing Jesse was the right thing to do as she's climbing the ladder of success and he's stagnating to going nowhere in life, they agreed to speed this divorce while they can still remain on good terms with each other. Jesse agrees, but he still has feelings for her. As their settlements are closing in, Celeste progressively comes to realize that she has been supercilious towards their relationship and while her decision may have been a wise move on her behalf was also a bit impetuous as well. While going through what these ex-spouses are going through in their lives, we learn that the best of friends are the ones you must let go. Sparking a refreshing perspective of the oldest genre depicted on screen, the romantic-comedy, writers and co-stars Rashida Jones and Will McCormick have drawn a theoretical conclusion that love and marriage does not always guarantee happiness. The question remains can two ex-spouses continue being on friendly terms even though they're no longer married? It's an exhilarating hypothetical theory that this convoluted story about a married couple who knew each other since adolescence decided that their time is done, but are still on good terms with each other if not even better than when they were married.Ambitions, crossfires, achievements and destinies all come into play as Celeste and Jesse agree to terminate their marriage while they can still remain friends and have a good time with each other. And though some of the scenes look forced and at times immature, the charm of the characters (especially from Jones), the fast-paced whimsical nature of this film will keep you on your toes throughout, while trying to figure out what they really want in life. It's a shame this film has more comedy and less romance, and a lot of the situations these people are facing could've been handled with more care than that. I found it very hard to accept that Celeste and Jesse seem to take their divorce settlements lightly with each or the fact that they seem comfortable with each and yet getting divorced is anything but. They're childish goofiness with each other in public establishments can really catch you off guard into not being convinced that they've been separated for six months. How did they recover so quickly? It's only until as the film rolls on we can see why these two divorced each other. While Jesse seems at liberation as a jobless slacker and Celeste is fixated on her career, who's always right in every avenue of life in and out of her job.There are some funny scenes where Celeste goes on many dates that just don't work out very well for her and some hilarious side stories that involve a self-absorbed pop star named Riley (Emma Roberts) whose logo design is saturated with unintentional symbolism for extreme homosexuality. Elijah Wood was remarkable in funny supporting role as Celeste's homosexual colleague named Scott. And while I've praised for Jones I like to turn my attention to Samberg, who seems to come off like a soft, vulnerable rabbit, but after awhile his self-indulgent ways start to aggravate me, but it doesn't hinder the film entirely as the focal character is centred on Celeste as we can connect with her through her emotions and her trials and tribulations. Jones was just purely dynamic in her leading role. Another standout performance comes from Rebecca Dayan as Veronica, an attractive brunette who has been a secret lover of Jesse months before.The staggering laborious question that's on everyone's mind in this spontaneous romantic comedy is, will Celeste and Jesse ever remarry again? The answer may look simple, but in reality it's anything but. Maybe in the end it's better that they just remain friends and sure it's important to be right, but what exceeds righteousness is happiness.

RevRonster I usually avoid romcoms like they are my creditors but I was pleasantly surprised with how funny and touching this one was.Thanks to a great story from Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, the film isn't just a collection of tired old gags we've seen a million times in the genre of romcoms and it didn't end with the sappy usual way. Instead, the film feels real and the characters have a sense of authenticity that you never see in other romcoms...which begs the argument if this film even qualifies as a romcom.Rashida Jones really takes command in this film and shows that she has the potential to be a future Oscar hopeful as her performance is just awe-inspiring! Andy Samberg also shows that he may have a future in jumping from comedies to drama and, while he wasn't the best with the dramatic parts in this one, he did look like he was taking his first steps towards that path.The only real downside I had for the film is the fact that all the supporting characters don't really have enough of a presence in the story but, thanks to great performances from Samberg and a REALLY great performance from Jones, a lot of funny moments and a heartwarming story, the shortcomings on this one are barely noticeable and the film is perfectly entertaining.
