In addition, the film and its premise felt ridiculously pedestrian throughout, and like I said before, none of the characters in this film were likable at all, and do nothing but make dumb, selfish decisions from start to finish. Overall, everything that I mentioned above made this feel like a pointless and unlikable film. The only thing that kept me from giving this film a slightly lower rating is some of the slightly interesting chemistry and scenes between Debra Winger and Tracy Letts, whom I both really like normally. Other than that, this film isn't really worth anyone's time if you ask me.… Expand

Almost left a few times, but hoped it would improve. Not a comedy, except I did laugh out loud when the guy behind us had spilled an entire bag of M&M peanuts during a quiet moment. Personally, I thought Melora Walters nailed her character quite convincingly, good job! Debra Winger played her character very well and Letts was not bad, just not believable as the husband, not his acting just the way he looks in this film. Overall, the story was not that believable. I have to agree with others, sorry Mandy Hoffman, but the soundtrack was just awful. It did not set the mood at all and was almost torturous hearing it throughout the feature. The end of the story just did not make any sense at all.… Expand
