Clickonline writes: "The main problem is that the main drama is hopelessly contrived. If only Williams was a little more likeable or Rogen a little less kind and loving, we might feel more connected to the slow attrition of their relationship. As it is, Polley paints her protagonist as spoiled immature lady-child, before stretching our patience even further with an extraneous and awkward ending which stretches on for far too long."
PopBucket writes: I’m not going to say this movie doesn’t have it’s moments - there are one or two funny scenes and a few clever lines, even if they are mostly hidden behind heavy handed metaphors and cringe-worthy dialogue. When it comes down to it though, it would be wrong of me to recommend a movie I actually had a lot of trouble sitting through.

New Releases for the month of December are a little light; there isn't a high profile film that is going to attract a lot attention, but there is a lovely family film and three films that could interest a lot of adults. On the catalog title front things are little more interesting; if you love 'bad' 80s action, horror, talkative or 'actiony' dramas, or one of TV's most shockingly funny shows there might be a lot things to watch while you try to ignore your family during the holidays. If there are a lot of kids in your household the first waive of Disney animated films to be added to Netflix may keep them busy while you try to get a few minutes of peace.
More a tragedy of character than of circumstance; superbly cast yet lacking at a narrative level which is disappointing given how interesting certain aspects of the premise are.
