GaryBaxter It's British humour at it's best, perfect in every way but one - hence the 8 rather than 10. All the good stuff first - toe curling awkwardness, England - I think I was married in that church, class divides - snobbish in-laws, a Young One, in-laws, Olivia Colman as a marriage counsellor I think I met once, the realness of married life presented with self-depreciating humour - I love the play off between the sister and her husband, watch for it... The bad - Simon Baker, an Australian with an American accent - why? I watch this movie when I need to laugh, it works, you should too.

AS Most of my favorite movies & TV shows are British but this should never have been released. I see why it lost so much money. In the past I've really enjoyed Rose Byrne & Simon Baker & Anna Faris in other work, but they must have been bored or needed the money to make this movie. I really wanted to like this and I only finished watching it because it's one of those times when you think "it's GOT to get better!" I don't know how to help you more and to prevent you from wasting your time and i don't want to hold these performances against the actors in the future. I also found the amount of vulgar toilet humor? obnoxious and it doesn't add any value to the movie, it's just gratuitous and awkward when you're watching with others. I joined specifically to review this movie.

dareent-amethyst This movie has failed at an attempt to be an entertaining romantic comedy. It is neither funny or romantic. I saw 'I give it a year' because my friend had told me its good, but I've known after only 10 minutes that its not. Frankly, i find it boring and predictable. The plot is somewhat unoriginal although i don't know where they got the idea from. Its slow paced, the dialogues are uninteresting and too long. The actors aren't believable and they, just like the writers and directors of this movie, seems like they haven't put a decent amount of effort into making this a watchable movie. There's also another thing that bothered me a lot, I'm not sure if its just me, but i hate Rose Byrne and Anna Farris' hair. The hair and makeup team certainly didn't do them any justice. Oh i also hate the use of curse words in this movie. Im not one who doesn't like hearing curse words, in fact i curse a lot, but there were way too much unnecessary use of curse words in this movie. Okay I'm done hating on this movie. Its not awful its just not so good (boring!)

krzysiektom Strange to read these reviews calling it "unfunny", "a miss", "awful" and the like. A matter of taste I suppose, but I found it funny, witty and a smart commentary on marriage. It is devoid of sentimentality and it is honest, which is rare for a comedy. It says that marriage is often hard work and too often people jump the gun before they really know each other. It also bravely posits that once two people realize it was a mistake there is nothing better than a divorce. Of course if there are no children, the children complicate matters a lot and the film avoids this situation. A lot of humor, very funny dialogues, sexual innuendos, a lot of swearing as well (which I liked). I guess a problem with this movie is that it avoids cheap sentimentality and its resolution can be seen as rather controversial. Certainly not a "family-friendly" entertainment, it is for grown-ups only.
