This definitely is not a movie that is meant to win accolades, much less Oscars, but it's entertaining and easy to watch. I'm a fan of trying to learn from everything I watch, and for this movie, I learned that sometimes we just have to take things for what they are (to get the most out of them).
I liked the lead actress a lot; something about her is amiable and endearing, plus she really seemed to want to do right by her marriage.
Her husband initially seems prickly, but he is very affable as well. I appreciate that he is a fellow Texan, and LOVED his little accent that I could hear (being a native and all).
The strengths of this movie to me are the friendship between the two women, and also the marriage itself. If you are married, you likely have been in similar situations with your spouse, and it gets difficult to constantly see unrealistic depictions of marriage. This couple really mastered the subtleties of marriage after the honeymoon is over, and the "surprise" he provides to her is so sweet. I don't cry at movies, but if I did, that scene would have required some tissues.
Dominic the weird yoga sensei is definitely creeperville and he did a fantastic job at being a complete loser. It was funny to see him turn into someone so uncertain of himself, and it seems like he enjoyed playing that role.
Great little flick to watch if you are just wanting to forget about your own life for a little.
