Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Luecarou What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
starcko31 This movie is a breath of fresh air. The characters of Kay and Arnold remind me of a real people. I know these types of people. In a relationship, you have to work at it. Anyone who has been through couples therapy knows those scenes in this film are realistic. Tommy Lee Jones is outstanding as a man whose whole world is his wife but he takes her for granted. He slowly shows that he is willing to open up despite not being comfortable doing so. Steve Carrell should get credit for his work in this too for not being tempted to try and change his character to a comedic relief role. They need to make more movies like these.
Matthew D Booth I saw this film tonight. Being honest I was skeptical about it, but felt like it was best one on the lineup at the theatre, that I had not already seen or want to see. Plus since I am single, why would I want to see a movie about an older couple, who need to add a little spice to their life after 31 years, but I like Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones, so paid my admission, popcorn and watched. Turns out it is a pretty good movie. I went to the late show and was the lone soldier in the theatre so did not have to turn off my cell phone and could fart if I needed to as well. If you are a movie buff and like the stars, I would say give it a look. Only wish the Elizabeth Shue and Mimi Rogers characters would have had more screen time. They each had cameo roles.
Maria Trim I loved it. I have been married about the same as this couple and the film actually made me think too about how my husband and I interact with each other. I loved it, communication is the key to a good marriage, you should be able to talk about anything and everything, and never loose sight of each others needs. Highly recommend it to everyone who is married. Its fun, sad, emotional and thought provoking. Ace great acting by two of my favorite actors.
M S My wife and I are in the middle of watching this wretched film. Man, I can't take any more. Please.... make.... it.... stop....Now, to the actual review. It's bad, bad, really, really bad. In reality, that doesn't even begin to describe it. It's beyond really, really bad---way beyond. It's so bad that I can't even find a word for how bad it is. Ghastly? No, that's not nearly strong enough. Vile? No, it's worse than that. Truly painful to watch (and I watch Svengoolie all the time). I'm definitely going to have nightmares.Finally, I'm willing to wager that at least 90% of the positive reviews are from married women over the age of 50, where the roles are exactly the opposite of those in the movie. That is, the woman is the one who is not keen on sex, not the husband.
