Sincere and perfect .... I loved the chemistry between the main characters before I even knew they were really married. The story had a simplicity and, yet, a depth that I absolutely loved. For anyone trying to figure things out - an who isn't? - it's perfect.

The chemistry between the two main characters is what really makes this movie work but, also, their story arc. The movie goes for - and we get - a deeper sense of the "real" characters and doesn't go for some easy, cheap laughs that you might find in a similar plot. There is an especially wonderful scene (no spoiler here) where Tom so wants to change and he makes a promise to Claire and she says the most simple, perfect, and heart-felt line of the movie. Simply; "I know." Also, it's really easy in these kind of movies to have stereotypes; yet, and every single character - even the ones with very limited screen time - have the sense of a deepness about them. It really is a wonderfully realized movie. Scott F. - Pacifica, CA

The story was subtle and that's what I actually enjoyed. It didn't go for over-the-top or cliché' but instead was just a really enjoyable and nice movie. I liked it. There's something to be said for focusing more on the simple locations and finding the magic in everyday things. Cooking at the holiday's. A small town diner. Those places you find yourself when you didn't expect to be there at all. At one point the main characters find themselves looking for a lost dog in the middle of a field in December. It just so happens this sort of thing exactly happened to me and my wife before we fell for each other. SImple and solid movie. Enjoy.
