Emmy K This is my favorite movie! It was a charming, funny heartfelt dramedy. Everything about it I love, I would definitely recommend Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Lilah A. cute movie with a lot of heart Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Kevin P An entertaining, but frustrating rom-com that has a great cast with good comedic timing, but kind of flounders in the script. Steve Carell, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomeii, and Kevin Bacon are all great. The Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell subplot is funny and they both share great chemistry, even if the main takeaway in the first half is superficial and just equates to "spend a lotta money". The whole movie's dialogue goes back and forth between funny & genuine, and pretentious/unnatural. The worst element of the movie however involves the middle schooler son and his teen babysitter. The 13 year-old son is super creepy and keeps harassing his babysitter, never taking no for an answer and the movie expects you to feel bad for him when she says no. His dad even explicitly tells him to keep trying, after his son melodramatically claims that "love isn’t real, I thought she was my soulmate" after just one rejection. Hell, he even gets REWARDED by the end when she sends him CP pictures of herself after she finally gives in to his "just wait a few years for me please" demands, likely exhausted from her own weird subplot involving her trying to send pictures to the middle-aged protagonist (thankfully the film treats this part more seriously, but it still feels icky they way it's executed). The 2nd act argument between Steve Carell's character and his ex-wife feels melodramatic with "how dare you sleep with women after we divorced since I cheated on you". Especially when the whole family later turns on him for rightfully calling out everyone's hypocrisy. That being said, I Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone's part was cute and I thought they had great chemistry. The plot twist that Emma Stone was Steve Carell's daughter the entire time at the party was a great reveal that I legit didn't see coming. Which escalated into a hilarious 4-way fight between all the confused men in the backyard trying to take all this in. But then Steve Carell's character is the only one who faces any lasting flack for this. I feel bad because Steve Carell is easily the most likable character and he's one of the few characters that gets crap for his actions and ends up being scapegoated as the bad guy (even though his wife cheated on him & kicked him out of the house, his son is a creepy predator, his neighbor is a belligerent assaulter, and Ryan Gosling's character is a womanizer hypocrite). All resolved with a corny speech that becomes weird again with the son's naive twisted view of love and soul mates. The movie starts off strong, but it looses its momentum in the second half. The plot and themes of romance are messy, but the acting and the comedy with the adult characters is very charming keep the movie afloat. I really wanted to love this movie but I'm split. The charismatic performances from the charming cast is enough to carry the movie despite all of the cringy elements. But the cringy frustrating elements of the script drag it down and the movie feels all over the place and with a very thematically messy script.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Brayden M Wow was I surprised. Definitely an interesting concept and while you think that nothing fits together, they were able to brilliantly bring everyone together in the most insane way possible. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Joanna T Wholesome movie about not giving up on a relationship. A wife told a husband over dinner that she wants a divorce. The husband was speechless so the wife kept talking during the drive home and told him that she slept with her coworker. The husband jumps out of the car (harmlessly). They also have kids together. The husband then starts drinking at a bar and then a younger guy who is a player/womanizer finds him depressing so the younger guy helps him with new moves to pick up women and hook up with them. The two men both are sleeping with a lot of women. The husband and wife meet at their kid's school for a conference. It turns out that their kid's teacher is someone who the husband hooked up with from the bar. The teacher is very angry that he said he would call but didn't. The wife is disgusted. This was all after the husband and wife had a heartfelt convo about missing each other. The husband proceeds to stalk / linger outside the wife's house (doing yard work?) when he sees her having dinner with the kids, then going outside to call him to pretend to need help with handyman work when it's clear that she was just calling because she misses him. He sets up a grand gesture (and asks the kids for help) to win her back but then everyone shows up and it's chaos! It turns out that the womanizer is dating the husband's oldest daughter, and the husband is disgusted because he knows that this guy is a player. The wife's coworker shows up. And then the couple's babysitter shows up - the babysitter has a crush on the husband and now the babysitter's dad is angry, and the couple's son actually has a crush on the babysitter. Some time later, they all meet up for a kid's graduation and everything is good again. The kid and the husband give a speech. The wife and husband seemingly get back together to try again. The babysitter gives her naughty pics to the son, while they wait for him to grow up. The womanizer turns out is in love with the daughter so they stay together. Very cute. I hope that another trial is just what the couple needs. Sometimes it works, and sometimes the problems stay. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
