User Reviews

He gets it just right!

This film is much more than it seems. True to Dan Bucatinsky's vision, it showcases many of the emotional states that any coming together relationship must travel through. That's what really got me, especially the second time around. I could be watching any couple of any gender, any race, any age. I loved that. It showed me myself at various times of my own life. The actors know what they are talking about and we pick up the tiny changes of facial expressions that demonstrate this. The photography is complementary and inventive. We see the first kiss over the shoulder; the vodka falling into oversized "martini" glasses. Ya gotta watch it more than once and you'll catch all this. Kudos to the director, Julie Davis, the well chosen cast (beautiful and funny) and to Dan for everything else. I wish you all great success from here on in! (Dan: Vassar, wow!)
