Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
colormewithyou Usually when I watch movies, there is always that one actor/actress that I can't stand or don't think they've done the best job. My feelings are the exact opposite in this movie. I genuinely cared about each character and loved each actress/actor portraying them. I think the writers did a phenomenal job with the charisma of the entire group. I was emotionally attached to each story-line and was heavily interested in what was going to happen next. The twins are adorable! I loved Kat; I thought she was hilarious. The sassy one liners and the entire feel of the movie easily helped me confirm that this is now one of my Top 5 movies that I've ever watched. I loved it!
The_late_Buddy_Ryan One of the better unheralded indies that's turned up on Netflix lately. Seems more like a very long comedy pilot than a feature film, but we were totally fine with that. Jemaine Clement (as Will, a comic-strip artist and SVA instructor), Jessica Williams (his student) and Regina Hall (her mother, a Columbia prof), plus the two little girls, are mostly just being their charming selves, with Will's ex-wife Charlie and rival Gary on hand as ordinary messed-up mortals to provide a semblance of a plot. The script takes a few shortcuts; sometimes we're in romcom fantasyland ("their lips locked after an intense discussion of the literary merits of the graphic novel"), and w/d Jim Strouse, who's said to have based the screenplay on his own divorce, may have stacked the deck by making Charlie so volatile, not to mention a bit of a sorehead. The scene in which Will (almost?) trashes a promising new relationship b/c he's misread confusing signals from her—which serves as the low-key climax —is right on the money though, and the film overall, like a good graphic novel, strikes a nice balance between confession and entertainment. Fun fact—I'm pretty sure the graphic novel that inspires Regina Hall's change of heart about the validity of the art form is Alison Bechdel's "Are You My Mother?" We get a brief glimpse of its distinctive blue-green cover on a table in her apartment. Good choice!
Aaron Coventry This morning a quite charming on my factors although I had some great laughs in it but I found that I didn't laugh a lot and I found I was backing and loved the character development of Will Henry. You can really feel his frustrations but you also feel sorry for him as his character goes through the pain. There are some "Noooo don't do that moments" especially when it comes to his ex-Girlfriend and in fact I found that I hated her character in all the best ways. Great cast! I also loved the use of the drawings as a passive way of telling the story. The art work was great and I loved! the scene where he looses his cool and in a very innocent way draws on his ex-Girlfriends current boyfriend's advertisement on the wall. All in All a very charming movie and I felt like it had abit of a Woody Allen feel to it.
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a newly divorced graphic novelist, and his life that juggles between work, his two daughters and sorting out his emotions for his ex-wife."People Places Things" is a natural story about real life people and real life events. Though people say they go to the cinemas to see what isn't ordinary, it's refreshing to see something real. The lead character, Will, is clearly surprised to see his wife in bed with another man. Interestingly, he doesn't show much emotions on the spot. Instead, he spends the next year working through his emotions, and be an even better father to his two young daughters. I enjoyed watching this film.
