This movie was very well thought out. Serious, and funny without being too cheesy. The Producers of this movie hit all of the nails on their heads. The acting from the three main characters was superb. They did an excellent job at acting all of the awkward and uncomfortable moments. You could feel all of their emotions through the film. I also really enjoyed the buildup of the plot, very true to real life. Not to mention the many unexpected twists. This is a perfect movie illustrating the 20 something experience and many of the hardships and awkwardness that can accompany it. I believe everybody has a similar story to tell in relation to these characters.

If it weren't for the biphobia in the film (the one bi/sexually fluid character is portrayed as unstable and "not gay enough" to be with), I probably would've given it a six or seven. This is far too common in media, and the stereotype is damaging.As it was the film did portray well some of the issues of growing up and how it affects one's friendships. I did relate to some of the issues the women went through.It doesn't really reach very deeply though, and the ending is rather lackluster. There was some good humor in the film, but the writing really needed polishing.It was nice to see a mainstream film portray a non-straight main character. Gabourey Sidibe was sorely underused as a minor supporting character.

The comedy was spot on, and the romance was not overused as many Rom- Com have become lately, brought on the surface the lesbians part of romance yet not too much involved which was really great producing, the casting was also successful, characters we'v seen on TV and some in a few movies and still managed to look fresh and new even for Gillian Jacobs and Gabourey Sidibe. i would'v make it more twisty and knot the plot a little more but the story still got out great the way it is. and as i said it was Good story, peaked and grow properly and it nicely ended . so bravo for the cast and Susanna Fogel for a good directing and writing ;)

Life Partners (2014) was directed by Susanna Fogel. Sasha--Leighton Meester--is best friends with Paige--Gillian Jacobs. Sasha is a lesbian, and Paige is straight. Neither of them has a problem with this--there's no romantic interest, but lots of love.Enter Tim--Adam Brody--who falls in love with Paige. (There's a movie in-joke here, because in real life, Brody is married to Meester.). Tim and Paige are engaged, and living together. The movie takes a strange turn at this point, when Paige backs into a neighbor's car. She refuses to take responsibility, which bothers Tim. This theme apparently was required to fill out a 95-minute movie. The whole business was trivial.The real theme, in my opinion, was the inevitable break between Sasha and Paige. The theme of female friendship being broken when men become involved is old--think of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. It may be old, but it still resonates. I think that's what this movie really was about. It's certainly a theme worth exploring.We saw this film at the Dryden Theatre as part of the well-chosen offerings of ImageOut, the Rochester LGBT Film Festival. It will work well on DVD.
