You Can't Say No

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.

I enjoyed watching the movie.

It was light-hearted but still had a serious message about life and relationships. Having Peter Fonda play the dad was great to see as well.

No gripes about the music. The scenery was excellent. I have no clue why so many people gave this a 1 rating. Can only guess they have a grievance they want to take out on the movie.

It is not a must see but it is worth watching for sure.

The wife and I watched what we thought was going to be a light hearted romcom. We totally weren't expecting the LSD-taking, ball shaving, threesome smut-fest that ensued. Absolutely fantastic. Put us right in the mood. Only 9 stars as the chemistry between the two leads dipped at times.

This is a solid film, funny, sweet and timely, well-conceived and well-acted, with beautiful cinematography featuring California's Sonoma County. Dialogue feels natural and improvised at times, with an exquisite supporting role by legendary Peter Fonda as an eccentric, aging nudist parent. The film has strokes of mastery and restraint, feels contemporary but has an old school pacing reminiscent of early Linklater and 1980s Schepisi, chanelling 1950s Hitchcock. Keep an eye on Hus Miller.

I loved this film. It's warm and funny without ever being sappy or schmaltzy or sentimental. My wife and I agreed that it's really the perfect "date night movie" for adults. If you've been with your partner for a while I bet you'll relate to this movie, which is a little bit deeper than the poster and promo material make it seem.
