'Sentiment: Positive 🙂'
Bruce Willis, Michelle Pfeiffer and a wonderful cast make this movie one of the best experiences of recent times. The story of a married couple losing each other and neither knows why; trying to hide it as the children grow through their early teens must touch the heart of most parents but this portrayal will reach right down inside you and tear you apart. I can feel the tears coming back even as I write this. This is a film of pure emotion so well written and beautifully directed with just the right balance of humour and tragedy and so insightful no one contemplating /in/out of a relationship should miss it.

What I enjoyed about this movie, was the fact that it was fresh in the sense that this sort of story has never been portrayed like this (or I've just not seen it), for mostly films about a marriage crisis are destined to become real dramatic snooze – feasts. This one did not however and I thought the film was quite amusing and entertaining. It was more of a comedy than anything else and the only thing I missed here, was being really touched by the performances as in almost crying myself like ONCE (although Michelle Pfeiffer almost had me there in the end). That's the only critique I have regarding this, well acted, well scripted, well directed and last but not even near to least well edited movie.

'Sentiment: Positive 🙂'
Wow, that is the one word that would best sum up what the movie is all about. It is so close to reality that it is scary, I am only 16 so I haven't gone through this yet, however my parents have, and all I can say is that the movie was done so well I could relate to so many things in the movie.Bruce and Michelle play the characters so well that it look like they are going through it as well.I would say that it is worth watching wether you know the situation or just want to watch the movie. It is touchy and funny at the same time.I wrote at the beginning that my parents went through the same things and I believe that the movie helped them to get through it and they are now doing a lot better and don't fight as often.
