What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Solid dramatic comedy about four sets of couples with their own quirks and problems, giving a good balanced outlook at relationships and the various ways in how they can work and work out.The cast is great and the comedy is subtle. The film does a good job of addressing multiple viewpoints and informing the audience of who each character is and what they are feeling. The best aspect is probably how then each defined character interacts with each other, as well as which ones don't. Often times you get the feeling more of watching a play than a movie (in a good way).Overall I recommend this film to people who like real life stories, if you are looking for lots of laugh out loud comedy, high stakes or extreme drama then you won't find it here. But a pleasant, thoughtful and enjoyable look at relationships as they mature is delivered in very fine fashion.

Give me back that 90 minutes of my life. Very unrealistic. The only saving grace was the intervention ending up on the correct character at the end. A forced situation prolonged is what it felt like. Great waste of good talent. The plot of the story evolved in a luckluster way. The relationships were very unrealistic in the story. Some things do deserve to come to an end.

As I am a big follower of Cletasha (Clea and Natasha) work so am will not be biased giving my review for this movie. It was light-hearted, variably predictable but great to watch the couples roller-coaster ride. NO spoilers but good ending. The movie made me think of the conclusion to the movie's Yeah but I'm a Cheerleader movie) ending after Megan and Graham drive off together. I liked all characters as I have seen and liked them in their previous movies especially Cletasha and John Ritter. I would say this a light-hearted comedy with relatable issues we have to face in our lives. Considering it's Clea's debut movie it's pretty good viewing. I am not giving anything away in the story plot cos you have to watch it and you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

The talented actress Clea DuVall makes her major motion picture directorial and writing debut here, and also is one of the featured players in the ensemble cast of eight as well. The group gathers at a luxurious summer home, outside of Savannah, mainly to have an intervention and urge two of their friends to bail out of a very strained marriage.There's a lot of talent in this cast and they're effective in their particular roles. However, I found the screenplay to be terribly clichéd and non-believable on the whole, and the characters to be carping and annoying for the most part, reaching epiphanies during the movie that seemed to come out of "left field". Are we really supposed to feel for a character who's trying to make the argument that Hitler may have had good intentions in what he did, and thus maybe wasn't such a bad guy? How they left this scene in the film is beyond my comprehension.To note, there's lots of explicit language laced throughout the movie, as well as some highly suggestive sexual scenes,All in all, a talented cast is rather wasted here as the script and the whole thing just didn't ring true, in my opinion, plus the usual 180's at the end were not worth the long slog to get there.
