The Marriage App

So many movies don't have an ending now- they just end in the middle of the story and I hate that. This one had a beginning, middle & an ending. I loved how the couple interacted with each other - it was very realistic. Especially the part where the man says he doesn't communicate very well. My husband said this recently, and also my beastie, who is male. It's very true.

The kids were cute abd although their characters weren't fleshed out as much as other roles, it was fine.

There were some comic members, as well.

This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I really enjoyed it. Perhaps you'll like it, too.

While the idea might sound fun at first, the characters are incredibly flat and most of the acting is terrible; Lopilato and Minujin, the leads, try to do what they can, but they can only do so much, and the supporting actors are awful.

The deus ex machina that's at the core of the movie (the device and app that scores points for being a good partner) is by far the weakest point of the movie. We're told it's really advanced and it can measure the users' mental state, but in reality it has no sarcasm or fraud detection, thus enabling a lot of really toxic mechanisms to "game" the system.

Unfunny, trite, and rushed. Do yourself a favor and look for another movie.

In this age of apps for almost anything, why not an app to improve our marriage? The premise sounds interesting but, of course, things may not go as well as supposed to develop. When a marriage starts to decay, both partners are lured to an almost magic solution to simultaneously satisfy husband an wife and strengthen the bond between them. My wife and I really enjoyed this well paced film, with fine performances by both leading actors and a very good supporting cast. It has neither nudity nor violence and just the necessary dose of "bad" language. In our opinion it is the best Argentinian comedy of 2022. Strongly recommended for almost all audiences!

No pun intended - if you have to act for an App. If you do things, to make yourself feel good .... well this will no turn out for the best. It doesn't seem far fetched to be honest. We are quite bound to our digital ... "self", to a shell, to another "home". We post stuff on social media to make ourselves feel better. There is even a job called "influencer" - something I am certain people many decades ago, could not imagine be something you could make money off.

But back to our romance. It starts with a crash ... which seems bonding. But the cracks start to show, when the pair participate on a points system. Getting points for doing something for your partner ... again, can be seen as something positive ... but can also backfire. I don't think it is a surprise what direction the movie will take ... still well played/acted and some interesting twists.

If you're looking for a contemporary rom-com, then look no further. The Marriage App or Matrimillas is an excellent way to spend an evening with your partner. The story is about a dysfunctional couple. They find a device that allows them to earn points for doing nice things for their partner. The idea, quite original by the way, serves as a great excuse to watch these two characters do a lot of nice things for their partner but for the wrong reasons. I don't want to spoil anything so just watch it if you're looking for a funny movie with a tech and creative twist. Specially good for watching with your partner!
