I gave this more than a 1 because I did think there were some moral lessons in this story and it provoked some thought and comment from my wife and I. The acting and the dialogue were mediocre and I must confess I came out feeling like I had been beaten over the head with the God this , God that and Christ is our saviour stuff. The movie and the story line did not need it. If , as I am , you are a recovering Catholic or Christian avoid this one it will make you nauseous. The movie did a good job of demonstrating the thin line between being a good citizen and how someone could become a potential stalker focused on what might have been.

In his mid/late 40s, with two teenage daughters and a decent work life complete with his own Magical Best Black Friend and Jesus Christ by his side, divorcée Dave suddenly finds himself regretting what he did when he was 19. Drugs? Rebellion? Promiscuity? Oh, no, Dave broke up with his high school sweetheart, a hot little cheerleader named Mary ("just like Jesus' mom!" I said).

In trying to piece his post-divorce life back together, Dave begins going to group therapy for other "victims" of divorce and meets early- 30s Carla, a bomb brunette who also has - you'll never believe this - a lingering flame for her high school sweetheart.

With the help of Carla, Magical Best Black Friend, and, of course, Jesus, can Dave regain his mojo? Can innocent teen love provide answers to complex middle adulthood?

Find out with Me & You, Us, Forever, the ungrammatical thriller that takes one man back to 1974 with production values that seem straight out of 1974 ("that's so pomo!" I said). With trite writing, pseudo- Christian pseudo-philosophy, and a nails-on-chalkboard awkward story, maybe you, too, can see how selfishness, emotional instability, and a warped view of teen relationships can appear like wholesome family entertainment when you splatter it with the love of Christ.

From everything I'd read about the movie, I was excited to support a film with a Christian theme. Everything about the movie was very unprofessionally done. Especially the writing! Without good writing a movie doesn't have a chance. The writer/director said in an interview that he didn't want to give away how the title relates to the story. Believe me, it was NO big surprise. I kept waiting for the teenage/young adult back-story to unfold, but it never did. As someone who has gone through a divorce, I was very disappointed. This movie would have been NO comfort to me when I first went through the emotional turmoil that divorce can bring to your life as a Christian!

I really enjoyed this movie. I have been in this exact situation - meeting the girl you missed in high school 26 later. Would have loved to see their reunion go more deeply--because it can. Time doesn't always change everything. The essentials can remain and if it was love, real love, it love never dies. It can be picked up where things left off. Good theme music and and gently handled. Jesus is an architect of souls, He can match a man and woman like no one can. Good job Dave.

This is a very good story that is touching and meaningful. I read some of these comments on the site here and they are very unfair to what this film. Those comments must be written by children or adults that are immature and never grew up. If you have been divorced or in a bad marriage or still single, this film will be great for you to watch. The acting in this film is outstanding, especially the leads and this film that tries to offer answers to the why things happen and why not. I have seen this three times now in the theater in Anaheim Hills, CA and enjoyed it every time. Get this DVD when it comes out. I guarantee you will be touched.

I and my family have always loved the Christiano Brothers movies and they always seem to be biblically sound......except this one! There didn't seem to be much of a point to the entire movie and most of it had the divorced main character daydreaming about a former girlfriend (who was married I might add!). Overall I am super disappointed in this movie and highly DO NOT recommend that you watch it!

If you are looking for good movies to watch try some of their other movies (the secrets of Jonathan Sperry, Time Changer, a Amazing Love) honestly anything I've seen that they've produced is better than this movie.

I don't know why it has rating of 3.x, I am giving it 7/10. Acting was good (you are not expecting Tom Cruise romance, don't you ?). Almost every one acted good. Unlike some other reviewers I found movie very romantic. I am neither divorced nor married, on the contrary I am quite young but I could feel the touch of love director wanted to give. Its based on a true story, you can literally feel what the guy has gone through. I think you need to be mature enough to understand the love shown in the movie, hence all ones in their 20s and early/mid 30s may not be not be able to relate to the movie. Its for you if you think love makes you complete, if you think your wife is the one women for you and you don't need any other till you die and you want to grow old loving her. Go buy a DVD without thinking much. Only negative side is religion is shoved down your throat from time to time (just like movie "Fireproof") and that's why I did not give it 8.

To those who felt this was too Christian of a movie if you don't want to see a movie where people talk about God even a little don't watch Christian movies.

That aside while there was some lip service paid to product placing the Bible in the movie this was far from being a Christian movie. While I am not one to expect Christian movie characters to be perfect and never make a bad decision even in the worst of circumstances, this movie spent near the entire 90 minute run time following one guy making a monumentally poor decision being given so many chances to make a better one and then not.

To then have a truly bad culmination which led me to believe he had learned nothing from the experience at all. Since what he knew at the end was what he knew at the beginning and was told repeatedly throughout the movie.

I really hate people who rate movies without seeing them and only use their prejudice viewpoints to rate the movies; good or bad.

If you have ever been through a divorce or a really bad break-up, you could possibly really understand what the director went through in his life. This movie is based on his personal experiences in love and life.

The acting was not Oscar worthy by any means, but good enough to make the characters come alive and be believable. The music was great and very romantic. Yes there are many Bible passages stated as well as discussion about God and Jesus Christ, BUT anyone can appreciate the movie if they give it a true chance.

I saw this with my wife on our 19th wedding anniversary during the 5pm Monday time period. The theater patrons who saw this with us were 90% women over the age of 40 and they all seemed to enjoy the movie well. Give the movie a chance and you may be well surprised that you enjoyed it.

I really really enjoyed this movie and plan on purchasing it when it becomes available. It did a very good job of explaining the difficulties in divorce. Especially when children are also involved. I suggest the married, unmarried, and divorced watch this movie because it can help prevent and confirm some questions you may have thought about in the past. I also have to agree with the other persons comment regarding how refreshing it was to watch a movie without worrying about hearing profanity or seeing any type of nudity. Dave Christiano makes nothing but good Christ Centered movies. I look forward to seeing more from you in the near future. Praise The Lord!

Having gone through a bittersweet divorce with my high school sweetheart, there are many issues worked through here.

It's not an exciting subject but it is identifying of issues that can be moved through.

Misnomer- The guy is NOT a stalker. He's misguided, which he admits later, but not a stalker.

Although his friends do try to alert & warn him, he has to find out for himself & his friends move through the whole process with him. At first I thought the acting was terrible but when I thought back to my divorce time period, there isn't a lot that's wonderful going on at that time & I thought they did a good job trying to portray the UNglorious ways one can feel at this time.

But there is also hope.

I avoided going to a divorce recovery group but I'm glad I did decide to go. It was helpful althogh not the most fun thing I ever did.

This is a worthwhile movie for those in a certain place & with certain issues that need to be moved through during a divorce.

I think it could be helpful for those who are not going through a divorce themselves, to help them gain more insight into what the divorced person is going through.
