With his entire life in disarray, he leaves Manhattan to move in with his estranged pregnant sister, brother-in-law and three year-old nephew in the suburbs — only to become their manny.

Nothing is more important than the love that brothers share for each other, right? But when it comes to facing the truth, we learn from this movie that it is hard to hide it and to tell it, also. Whatever the result, one has to take it all and experience from mistakes. That's what we are dealing with right here. We have the "uncle", who's the dumb troublemaker and the sister, who's the victim and who has to play along two man, the brother and the husband. Unfortunately, unpredictable events happen and life seems almost ruined for the couple, but the brother has the knowledge from previous situations and knows to do the right thing. For a lovely story, we have a happy ending and a happy family. Well, that's it. I ain't got anything else to say :).

This film tells the story of a high flying entrepreneur who lost everything on the night of his company launch. With nothing under his belt, he goes unannounced to his sister's home to stay a few months. The problem is, he and his sister aren't even close."Adult Beginners" is a fun film. It tells the way Jake slowly reconnects with his sister Justina, who haven't seen each other for a year. In the three months they stay together, they grow closer to each other and even make amends of the troubled past. The topic is dealt with in a light hearted manner so that it's not grim at all, but still provides the emotional roller-coaster amidst the laughters. It highlights the divide between work and family, and makes people reflect on the importance of connecting with your family. It's a nice film to watch.

The story background seems like another classic of s man rebuilding his life after a sudden loss. The main focus on the family and relationship drama feels really nice. The way the movie's script depicts the many small things happening in Jake's life is really nice that it feels so subtle and smooth. The movie literally didn't have any increase or decrease in mood, and just dominantly play on a single track of story development. The smaller things seem unpredictable, although their consequences seem so very predictable once they have come on-screen. The acting overall is quite a good bit. Rose Byrne's acting still feels okay although the character doesn't really need much more development. Nick Kroll really gets the comedy side nicely, just at the right portion. Bobby Cannavale's acting really balances the whole set.

This movie is a piece of $#!%. No seriously, it looks like Nick Kroll watched "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" (2006), "Death at a Funeral" (2007), "Dan in Real Life" (2007), "Flashbacks of a Fool" (2008), "This Is Where I Leave You" (2014), "The Judge" (2014), etc... .. and made a decision like "Hey! Now it is my time to make a serious Drama!""Adult Beginners" (2014) also a "Comedy", but I am still not understand where is a jokes and on what I need to laugh!? Maybe on scenes in a swimming pool (but I do not think that women with a kids who have a lessons are funny and can be as an objects for jokes), on playground (where I had a strong feeling that jokes were written by "Lloyd and Harry" from the movie "Dumb & Dumber" (1994)) or conversation in a toilet!? I think Nick Kroll must add small brochure to his movie with description where we must laugh and perhaps same for sadness because this movie also a "Drama". .. ... ..
