There is nothing new about a film where a happily married couple split up; not because they don't love each other, but because of the crazy friends/circumstances who surround them.
Every decade there are at least 2 dozen such films. "His Girl Friday" and "The Last Married Couple In America" come to mind. And truthfully, there is nothing is this screenplay that makes this film special. It is, however, saved by a throughly delightful cast and a director who was not too heavy on the schmaltz; although the kooky does get to be a bit much. If you interested in a pleasant diversion, you could to worse than see this film.
