Excuse Me for Living

Amusing, even sends a cute message, as the title induces, but sins a lot in the female characters, becoming despicable and misogynistic, a pity, because it had potential, degrading and superfluous ... In which women live in function of some male scrotum...

Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. The acting is stilted, the screenplay seems to have been put together randomly with no continuity, the directing done by someone who has no concept for how to string together a plot.

The characters are undeveloped, their motivations are unclear and seem to change from scene to scene and their actions are either under- or over-stated.

It almost seems as though there were originally two different story lines and something went wrong in the cutting-room; both films seem to have been mixed together resulting in a movie that you'd have to be as nuts as we're supposed to believe the lead character is supposed to be in order to make any sense of it.

Excuse me for living? Perhaps, but this film shouldn't be excused for existing.

I really loved this movie because it had a bit of everything, and it had all the things I like in movies overall. I'm a big fan of romantic comedies, and Ric Klass did a great job with the writing and the production of this film. It was great seeing a lot of my favorite veterans return to the screen (like Chris Lloyd, Jerry Stiller, Robert Vaughan, Wayne Knight, etc), as well as introducing so many of the younger stars. Melissa Archer is a very good young talent and would love to see her in more films, as well as Tom Pelphrey and David Gregory! I could see Tom being another Timothy Hutton in dramatic comedies in the future. Melissa Archer is a versatile and energetic actress who has a wealth of possibilities.

A complete waste of time. No likable characters. The film is boring, unfocused and a total mess. Film is filled with attractive women, as if that would compensate for a terrible plot. The film cannot decide what this should be - a drama, a comedy? It has no funny moments, no drama, not much of a plot and surely not a developed plot. I saw this on VOD and I believe some films are dumped there to see if they could generate any buzz and/or get people to spend money in the comfort of their home before the bad buzz gets out about a film.

There are some decent actors in the film, but their roles are small and has no real effect on the quality of the film. You wonder how these films get made, do they realize it's a bomb or think it's good. If they know it's a bomb, they probably just want to recoup their investment and move on. Which is what we should do - move on BEFORE seeing this mess!

I think the problem was "too many fish in the pond" You had a great story with the character of Dan going over the edge. The fact that he was put in a place where he had to go to meetings with older men could have been a heart wrenching gem. Great idea. Unfort. it got muddled with all these weird side stories. I kept saying "huh?" The whole strange character of Charlotte was wacko and unneeded. I love Christopher Lloyd but he was over the top and would have been better in the mens group. Jerry Stillers comedic timing was way under utilized.Tom Pelphrey is an actor with great range who could have really made a mark with this.Its really too bad. Hopefully he will find a role that will showcase his talent.
