The actors do fine work, but it is nothing new, nothing fun, and nothing funny. So not much goes on here that is actually complicated. I give this movie 34%.

An insipid story with sappy dialogue delivered by predictable, one-dimensional characters. About as complex as a high school pajama party.

I hate Nancy Meyers. And I'm a Woman! She's simply not talented!

This is the most absurdly vacuous and unfunny comedy I've seen in decades -- a ridiculous, irritating, unrealistic piece of fluff fantasy for middle-aged women. I couldn't believe that Meryl Streep would participate. I've This is the most absurdly vacuous and unfunny comedy I've seen in decades -- a ridiculous, irritating, unrealistic piece of fluff fantasy for middle-aged women. I couldn't believe that Meryl Streep would participate. I've always loved her but by the end of the film, I was so annoyed by the near-continous tinkle of her laughter -- before and after her every line, it seems -- that I started to hate her. Don't see it, don't rent it, don't order it on Instant Play or Netflix, don't look at the movie posters. It sucks like few films have ever sucked before.… Expand

Very unpleasant- Hollywood uses divorce as it's major plot line now because they are bereft of imagination. 60 yr olds now have girlfriends and boyfriends and it makes normal people feel like they are missing something.

If you liked Sex and the City you might like this miserable bore. Otherwise, it's a terrible waste of acting talent. One funny scene with a laptop computer in a bedroom is what gets the movie a 2 instead of a 0. Basically it's If you liked Sex and the City you might like this miserable bore. Otherwise, it's a terrible waste of acting talent. One funny scene with a laptop computer in a bedroom is what gets the movie a 2 instead of a 0. Basically it's about a manipulative, whiny, self-obsessed lawyer repeatedly conning a sappy ex into giving him her time and yet another chance. The guy is too much of a total jerk to care about and the wife is too much of a fool. Top it off with adult offspring who behave like 12-year-olds and you've got a film to avoid like the plague.… Expand

Not funny at all especially when you have two talented actors. An insipid story with sappy dialogue delivered by predictable, one-dimensional characters. About as complex as the movie's title.

What an ironic title for a film so surface and forced I felt it leaching the art out of me as I sat there stunned and dispirited that the can-do-wrong Meryl Sreep could thrash about and do so wrong. Baldwin is terrible, too; he's much What an ironic title for a film so surface and forced I felt it leaching the art out of me as I sat there stunned and dispirited that the can-do-wrong Meryl Sreep could thrash about and do so wrong. Baldwin is terrible, too; he's much more nuanced in his sitcom and sketch comedy work than in this weird celebration of people so white they're disappearing. It's all so false I felt guity for wishing something awful would happen to not only the people on the screen, but the filmmakers themselves just to hopefully bestow on them some character.… Expand

There is nothing at stake in the plot of the film. Steve Martin's was the only character I cared about. The adult children are insufferable. Rich white folks are boring. It's not complicated.

Good acting but the movie is so drawn out that it becomes tedious. It's definitely a "chick flick" as most of the laughs from the audience were coming from women.

This is a comedy? What a bore! I watched it for the many familiar faces in it and I have never seen so much talent do absolutely nothing. Krasinsky managed a small bit of comic performance in the middle of the film so thanks for that. ThisThis is a comedy? What a bore! I watched it for the many familiar faces in it and I have never seen so much talent do absolutely nothing. Krasinsky managed a small bit of comic performance in the middle of the film so thanks for that. This movie had no tension whatsover. Even when the characters were mildly bothered by their actions, they were totally thrilled with their perfect lives. And those kids? Where do you get kids who were little more than cardboard cutouts of persons? This is a perfect movie to keep on the DVR for when you cannot sleep. If I hear a soft and mellow guitar background one more time, I will shoot myself. no no no no no.… Expand
