Perfect opening, perfect soundtrack, perfect people and even a perfect divorce. So what's wrong with this movie? It's pure fantasy island and life is just big beautiful homes, financially successful people and yuppie, adult kids. …

Great script, funny and relaxing movie...Wonderful chemistry between actors and great acting! Meryl Streep is so natural in this role. Not so sure about Steve Martin’s romantic role. Timeless!

Great movie but needs a sequil to see who gets who for keeps.

Nearly every actor in the film, big and small parts, even extras, are beautiful or handsome. And the characters are all upper middle class/wealthy. I found both irritating (jealous perhaps?). I had no interest in the story or…

For what this movie is, I thought this was well done. Streep and Baldwin are excellent, although normally I can’t stand Steve Martin, he was good in this movie too. A light easy movie to watch, keeping it funny rather than serious with…

Loved it! Alec Baldwin and John Krasinski are both hilarious. Didn't really buy Steve Martin in that role, but overall really enjoyable. Great family chemistry.

I loved this movie... I think it is full of truth about age, personal comfort, and relationships that I am able to appreciate better because I am middle-aged.

Terrible movie. Contrived and unfunny. I love Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin, but I wonder what they were thinking getting involved in this movie.

Saw this movie for a second time and enjoyed it just as much.

Entertaining comedy. Not what I expected and I was surprised that I sort of liked the Alec Baldwin-Meryl Streep coupling. Steve Martin-Meryl Streep did not have chemistry at all. I would have liked to see Streep hook up with a younger…

I went into this thinking it was going to be terrible and was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The acting is great, the script is good, and the story is fantastic. I would highly recommend this to fans of darker romantic comedies.

A rom-com look at divorce and the possibility of getting back together. Jane and Jake are already divorced when the movie begins.They meet at a mutual friends gathering and the encounter gives each thoughts of a possible reunion. Later,…

Yes well...another good one but just not for me. Good acting, maybe a little over the top w/Baldwin but a good picture and casting sme comical moments...maybe you have to had gone through it or something but it never really caught my…

Much more enjoyable that I anticipated. Fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.

I enjoyed the movie but I found Alec Baldwin's character to be a little on the annoying side. I was rooting for Meryl to end up with Steve Martin.

Nancy Meyers makes more screen magic, with this relationship tale

I was expecting better. There were a few really laugh out loud moments but too few, in my opinion. Meryl Streep's character seemed a lot like her one in Mamma Mia! (which is not really a compliment). I just thought it could have been…
