buchanan-jrt-96 If you like witty comedy or action movie violence look away. But if you like hard hitting drama with brilliant story telling fantastic acting and a serious and relevant plot then Men, Women and Children is perfect. M,W&C is a modern classic that forces the watcher to see the real world impact of sex, high school gossip and the internet. From porn addiction and peer pressure to the video game phenomenon that effects the vast majority of the western world's young adults this film not only shows the struggle of the parents but also an incitefull view at the teenage aspects of life

adonis98-743-186503 A group of high school teenagers and their parents attempt to navigate the many ways the Internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image, and their love lives. Starring Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, Dean Norris, Adam Sandler, J.K Simmons and many more "Men, Women & Children" is a film that tries to showcase in different groups of people that try to use the internet but also how each and every single one of them gets affected from it. Now let me start by saying this, the film has a very talented cast and each actor gives a very down to earth performance and i found the drama to handled very well by Jason Reitman, where the film lost it's focus i think was with the story of Don Truby (Sandler) and Helen Truby (DeWitt) and it's not like the actors were bad or anything it's just that the whole story around them was just not very dramatic or interesting to begin with, the most interesting storyline of the movie for me was the story of Allison Doss that was a very dramatic tale and something that many girls in real life suffer from plus Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) also gave a very good performance as well. This is not a movie for everyone for sure i mean i'm sure that some people will find it boring or other just feel like something it's lacking but if you have never seen this before give it a shot you might actually enjoy it a lot. (8/10)

yossarian100 It's rare that anyone can make you care about all the characters in a particular movie, but this cast and crew did exactly that. An awesome script handled with precision by actors who know their craft and directed by someone who obviously understood the material much better than most.I really am amazed that this movie kept me totally engaged the entire time. The pacing was perfect. I felt so strongly for the characters, each and every one of them, and they pretty much all broke my heart.How the Internet affects us and how that affects our personal and intimate relationships is a pretty big deal, and this movie forces us to take a long hard look at this brave new world.This is truly a "Must See" movie.

rachelat Men, Women, & Children, a romantic comedy about the way society lives now and how the internet is impacting people's lives is brought to life by writer-director Jason Reitman. With the lack of a leading character, the film is displayed by five families' struggles in everyday life. Men, Women, & Children has a serious tone and an eye opening message; however, it isn't the most fascinating and lacks the good laugh of a comedy. The actors took the roles of these troubled characters very well. They created a very realistic atmosphere for the viewer. Each character deals with a tough time in their lives, whether its feeling unsatisfied with themselves or being constantly told by others how they are supposed to act. All of the characters decide to ignore their problems and create alternate lives for themselves. Well, those alternative lives are only good for so long until someone he or she loves takes it away.This film displays both the lives of adults and teenagers. There is the married couple (Adam Sandler and Rosemary Dewitt) whose marriage isn't satisfying anymore and they both sneak away to find some satisfaction. Patricia (Jennifer Garner) is an overprotective mom who monitors everything her daughter does over the internet because everyone is a "predator" in her mind. Brandy (Kaitlyn Dever) is the daughter of Patricia and just wants to be herself, instead of the person her mother wants her to be. Brandy's love interest Tim (Ansel Elgort) is a football star that recently quit football and has reached out to people over an online video game for comfort. Donna (Judy Greer) and her daughter Hannah (Olivia Crociccha) who will both do anything for Hannah to become an actress, even if that means posting risky photos on a website. The last teenagers that the film follows are Allison (Elena Kampouris) an anorexic cheerleader and Chris (Travis Tope) a guy addicted to porn.The film is shot in short cuts, including a bunch of twists and turns in the plot and an overlapping storyline between the characters. A random documentary type voice comes in at different parts of the film with a picture of starry skies and a wandering spaceship, which seems out of place. Besides that fact, the set is designed well to fit the story. The teens' rooms are messy, their clothes are modern day style, and the technology appears to be everything that is used today. The film is an accurate description of how technology has played a role on not only teenagers, but also adults' lives. The film was awkward at moments and pretty unsatisfying due to its dull ending. For being in the comedy/drama genre, the movie is not humorous like Reitman's past films Juno and Up in the Air. The special effects were astonishing with all the graphics of the text messages, games, and social media sites above the heads of the people walking around. The film showed how dependent most people are of their phones and computers, and how easy people are distracted from what is around them. I would recommend watching this film for its eye opening storyline, but it isn't the most captivating movie and isn't funny at all. Props to Reitman for getting an eye opening story across, but there are some quirks that need fixing.
