Konterr Brilliant and touching
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
thesulky The movie being all bout mid-life crisis of a cou Or who deal with some what very common problems faced at the age 40. The movie could have been a lot more interesting if the screenplay was far more nice and quick with the storytelling. This would've been nice if it had much more screen time of Melisa mc.
ellinorandersson86 This is a movie about nothing. No story, no red line just two couples who complain about not having sex, and nothing...two hours of nothing!
Mihai Toma Pete and Debbie seem a very nice couple, with two kids, a big house, expensive cars and gadgets, almost all one could ever dream of. Unfortunately, all of this is as fake as it gets. They are turning 40 and go through a real mid-life crisis. Their kids are fighting, their jobs have lots of issues and their relationship is falling apart, literally. Fights over fights, lies and deceptions. A very hard situation indeed, but if you add up their relationship with others, it's going to be a harsh road up ahead. We watch the development of their life as a family as they're about to turn 40 and how they manage to keep all things running even when all seems lost.It's a good presentation of a couple who's about to encounter a lot more than it ever expected and its struggle for survival. I enjoyed how it was constructed and how the actors played a pretty complex plot but it became sort of monotonous, the same thing being repeated over and over again but in a different way. It lacked a bit of soul also, becoming even boring at times. It seemed superficial and that's not a good thing for this kind of movie. Even the ending, although it was enjoyable, it lacked credibility, something like all that happened before. It's an average movie in my opinion. It had potential but it didn't turn out as expected.
kcamp75-574-121288 about a bad marriage. I originally thought this was a different movie and had high expectations...then ever so slowly I realized I simply MUST have gotten it wrong. I had to have mixed this movie up with another, an error in communication. My brain, eyes and ears paid the price for this egregious error. Nothing about this is realistic at all. If you're 40, you've more than likely scrapped that bad marriage somewhere in your 30s. It was excruciating to sit through just over 2hrs of this garbage. I want to take a guitar string and whip everyone in the face - including those irritating children. Whose children behave in the manner these two did? Everything was super exaggerated and ridiculous. What kids continue YELLING AT FULL VOLUME, SCREAMING AND BANGING on their locked parent's door after being told to stop??!! Multiple times! What teenage girl is perpetually angry, yelling, whiny and mean --even to her parents 24x7x365??? Oh wait, it's because she got her period....F*ck off, F*ck right the h3ll off. This movie is ridiculous and vulgar. Yes, more vulgar than me saying F*CK OFF to this movie. And oh yeah, F*ck off movie. I bought none of what was being sold here and honestly this is pretty much the polar opposite of 40. I wanted to be articulate and give a decent review but anger over the 2+hrs I lost watching this - AT WORK - has fractured my mind and this became a rant instead. Abhorrent, self-absorbed, pretentious POS.
