fmwongmd It is difficult to believe that a character played by Kristen Wiig actually existed. I suppose it could happen. This makes the story worth watching if for no other reason other than to find out how it turns out. The acting is good

lindag4747 I almost didn't watch this movie; what a shame that would've been. Kristen is nothing less than magnificent! I loved her on SNL and worried about her when she left. She's so much more than her characters there... and they were excellent. This movie was like a good book you can't put down. Real people, dealing with real challenges, but willing to step out and take a chance on the possibility of something better. (Similar to what Kristen did by leaving SNL). And the actors are convincing - especially Kristen. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. Thank you Kristen for leaving SNL. I'll be watching a lot more of you. :)

lawrence13 What a wonderful warm on the edge of you pants it may all go wrong movie.I couldn't believe how much I liked the film, the story line and the characters, which were if truth be known a little too good to be true; but I loved it and I don't care . I haven't been engrossed and emotionally rewarded by a story like that for a long. long time.I've always loved Nick Nolte and had time for Guy Pearce, all the other actors were unknown to me , But all turned in great performances .Once again, for me one of those films where you say where have you been all my life.Wonderful, wonderful and wonderful.

Lee Eisenberg So far Kristen Wiig has been known as a comedienne, so it's a welcome turn to see her in "Hateship Loveship". She plays a woman goes to be a caretaker for a man and his granddaughter, setting in motion a series of events. What I liked was not only the characters' depth, but also a trick that the movie plays: the cruel trick attempted by the granddaughter's friend backfires.Much like how Bill Murray proved his versatility by starring in a number of serious movies in the 21st century, Kristen Wiig does so here. She has good support from Guy Pearce, Nick Nolte, Hailee Steinfeld, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Christine Lahti (appearing briefly is Peggy Walton-Walker, whom I once met). I hope that Liza Johnson continues directing movies. In the meantime, I recommend that you see "Hateship Loveship".
