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.
