jenrave Celeste & Jesse begins in a heartwarming montage of a sweet loving couple, and though small details betray the true state of the situation between them, the moment when their status as separated is revealed is still shocking enough to throw you into a spiral of anger. It is so rare to find a true friend, someone who completely on board with your crazy little jokes and thoughts, someone who is fun to goof around with and also has a big warm heart full of love for you, it is a golden ticket, nothing in the world should be able to take it away from you, unless of course, you can't see it while you have it.It is not even clear from the beginning who is to blame for the obvious crime against true love, both Celeste and Jesse seem genuinely in love with each other and yet absolutely comfortable with their new relationship status, but soon it becomes clear that Jesse is the one being dragged behind with Celeste keeping herself cozy with him by her side, while being sure that she needs someone better.And then, of course, Jesse finds a way to move on. But it is neither a happy nor a successful separation, Jesse is thrown into the extreme commitment of parenthood, with a woman who though interesting to him, by his own words "is not Celeste". Throughout the film, Jesse is torn between his wish to move on with his life, and the obvious fact that Celeste is his lifelong love and friend. Celeste, on her end, realizes the depth of her mistake, and how far beyond repair the situation went.The film ends with a sort of reconciliation, Jesse and Celeste cannot be away from each other and try to make the friendship thing work, and Celeste feels ready to move on herself. But the truth is, even at the very end of the film, this couple shows such a strong longing for each other that it is absolutely heartbreaking. Both will move on with their lives, and perhaps their friendship will cool down as they learn to love and cherish the quirks and charms of another person, but something truly unique and incredible was lost, something that can never be mended. For some, the film's ending can seem bitter-sweet, to me it was very heavy on the bitter.It is a cautionary tale. At a time when new models of new things pop left and right and everything moves forward in excruciating pace, patience runs thin and it is easy to forget that relationship is about hard work and constant care, and that love is nothing to be taken for granted.
andriz I really like Rashida Jones, like 9 out of 10. But boy how this movie sucks.This machine simply does not work, as if it was some Philippine's car or something. Its simply a very bad puzzle of pieces not fitting together at all. Jokes trying to be funny - are not funny. Moments trying to be cute and sweet - aren't. People trying to match - are not. Instead they are painful to watch, as they really, really trying.Things that happen - are painfully unreal. Your boss acts like you neighbors pool boy. Your best friend acts like your mom. Your client, who you badmouthed all over with your phone calling her - acts like your daughter, who wants you to be her confidant about her boyfriend problems.At the end this trying to-be-cute was so painful, that I took a hammer and just hit my thumb really, really hard. To just get a revelation. If you don't have a hammer - don't watch this movie. If you do - get ready to experience some pain.
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!
sarah cooper this movie has wonderful actors whom I respect greatly and was very realistic in the ways that it portrays life and the film making was sick. however this is not a romantic comedy and it might destroy your soul depending how fragile your soul is due to whatever is going on in your life. just watch lonely island if you want some happiness. just roll solo dude, be carefolo of this here moving picture. this thing is making me type more lines. blah blah blah. this is the tale of captain jack sparrow. actually today might be a great day. dude i just had sex dude. it felt great. if you'd like i'd spell it out but i don't feel like. oh, i have this like sick grave plot right off the highway. but like i just wanted to give you all some pretty legit advice, just in case you want to be a cool kid. cool guys don't look at explosions.
