Like many Americans, average suburbanite Don Truby (Adam Sandler) and his 15-year-old son use the Internet for information, communication and viewing pornography. Don's son Chris also maintains sexually explicit conversations with classmate Hannah, an aspiring actress whose mother (Judy Greer) posts pictures of her daughter on a modeling Web site.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Men, Women & Children is timely, but director Jason Reitman's overbearing approach to its themes blunts the movie's impact.

Jason Bailey Flavorwire It's the kind of movie where you wouldn't be surprised to discover Reitman and co- writer Erin Cressida Wilson were ticking the boxes on a literal checklist. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Top marks go to young leads Ansel Elgort and Kaitlyn Dever, who manage to create their own believable world within the mawkish miasma of this flawed movie. Rated: 2/5 Dec 7, 2014 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times Flitting furiously from one story to the next, the film seems, appropriately enough, unhappy to allow any exchanges longer than 140 characters. Rated: 2/5 Dec 6, 2014 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema A shallow look at suburban America. Rated: 1/5 Oct 28, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Might have been better off with a title like Old Folks Just Don't Understand. Rated: 1/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Reitman comes up with a simple yet effective way to make it all work and for the most part it does. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Luis T Suburban high school drama focused on a few kids and their parents. The anorexic girl, the football player who quits, the overly protective paranoid mother and her daughter, the parents having affairs etc. Except it falls flat, but the girls are cute. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review hardy c A boring film about a boring subject, reducing the internet to nothing more than a platform with which to get laid. Maybe that is the bottom line but to we really need two tedious hours to tell us that? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Kyle M There’s occasional straying in Jason Reitman’s bold, topical approach as he extends his reach in tackling negative effects of digital communication with a thoughtful double-edged sword able to show both impactful senses through an appealing cast’s rough embrace. (B) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Edward H Unfortunate amateurish portrayal of a very serious problem that is so widespread. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Leah Stargazer L This movie basically was just a view into most people's lives. Love, sex, popularity, sadness, affairs. It held my interest but overall was slow with no wow factors. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
