I'm always interested to watch films about social interactions and media, but this one not only brought nothing new to the table, but addressed several points and ideas that it feels like we've all seen before too many times in the past. The film also seemingly tried to deliver several different messages to its audience to the point where I wasn't sure what it was trying to tell me. For the most part, the acting was fine. However, some of it felt stale and emotionless, especially from Jennifer Garner's character. Adam Sandler and Rosemarie DeWitt, who played husband and wife, felt like a waste. The mother and daughter plot point with Judy Greer allowing her daughter to act like a total slut was just plain ridiculous. Surprisingly, the strongest performances were those of Ansel Elgort's and Kaitlyn Dever's, who played love interests. Overall, it had an interesting concept, but with just ok acting, clumsy storytelling as well as an oddly placed and unnecessary narration from Emma Thompson, and a lack of closure from a lot of the different plot points by the time the film ended weighed this down big time.

There's something in Jason Reitman's "Men, Women & Children" that gets lost in translation. Not educational, but doctrinally cartoonish, a lot like Jennifer Garner's unrealistic joke of a character.

There's no shortage of interesting material - looking into the lives of many different types of people. Nevertheless, Men, Women & Children never seems to amount to much of anything.
