"Character Name: Tobey "

An average movie

“Even though I have never heard of this movie before, since there was an interesting cast (David Duchovny, Julianne Moore, Billy Crudup, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Garry Shandling, Justin Bartha, Eva Mendes, Ellen Barkin), I thought I should give it a try. Eventually, I was rather surprised as it turned out to be one of the best romantic comedies I have seen for a while. Indeed, all the 4 major actors delivered some good performances and I thought their characters were really well written as they were flawed, 3 dimensional and just plain interesting to follow. I was not so convinced by some of the supporting characters (the editor played by Ellen Barkin, the musician, Goren) but it wasn't a big deal.

"Kaks pariskuntaa kohtaa kriisin, tapahtuu pettämistä ja eroamiset. Naiset pystyy jatkamaan omaa elämäänsä eikä haikaile entisten perään.

“Caught this on cable. Lot's of snarky, but often times quite clever dialogue. Serious adult relationship issues are handled extremely lightly. Though, billed as a romantic comedy – it's far more a comedy than romance. In fact, it may actually be more a farce than a romance film.

Duchovny and Gyllenhaal are a pleasure to watch on screen – they are so good at what they do – I'd love to see a film where they are the leads in a relationship with each other. Here, Duchovny couples with Moore (who is always solid, but somewhat un-effecting here. And Gyllenhaal with Crudup who feels acutely miscast. His role was screaming for Keanu Reeves of a Pauly Shore.
