The wife and I watched what we thought was going to be a light hearted romcom. We totally weren't expecting the LSD-taking, ball shaving, threesome smut-fest that ensued. Absolutely fantastic. Put us right in the mood. Only 9 stars as the chemistry between the two leads dipped at times.
My wife and I were disappointed in this film. The acting wasn't very good and the story had holes in it. The game was to tell the other person something to do that they can't say no to but if you didn't do it you just lost the game. Doesn't lead to much suspense. Near the end, she says she has one more question but none of the others where questions so that was odd. The 3 way scene was just uncomfortable and there were way too many body scars that made no sense in the story. We paid $3.99 to rent this and felt we wasted 1 hour and 30 minutes and $3.99. Our advice is watch anything else. Absolutely anything
I loved this film. It's warm and funny without ever being sappy or schmaltzy or sentimental. My wife and I agreed that it's really the perfect "date night movie" for adults. If you've been with your partner for a while I bet you'll relate to this movie, which is a little bit deeper than the poster and promo material make it seem.
Do yourself a favor and just enjoy the preview.
Most romcom's are somewhat relatable, this one: not so much. The reality is divorce is brutal. Lives are changed forever. Children suffer massive emotional distress. The storyline used here uses a caviler approach to normalize infidelity and divorce through comedy and pseudo-irony, and it's completely unrealistic-so much that actors have a hard time accessing emotion necessary to portray the screenwriting which leaves us confused at multiple points along the timeline.
Additionally, the role of the two children-who conveniently just "get" how divorce and separation work- seem like afterthoughts in the writing process by only being included in two or three scenes near the beginning of the film.
If you're the type content with solving the world's struggles in a half hour before dinner, this is totally for you. For the rest of us realistic folks, don't waste your time.

This is a solid film, funny, sweet and timely, well-conceived and well-acted, with beautiful cinematography featuring California's Sonoma County. Dialogue feels natural and improvised at times, with an exquisite supporting role by legendary Peter Fonda as an eccentric, aging nudist parent. The film has strokes of mastery and restraint, feels contemporary but has an old school pacing reminiscent of early Linklater and 1980s Schepisi, chanelling 1950s Hitchcock. Keep an eye on Hus Miller.
