Making the Rules Trailers

The life of Abby is centered around the fast-paced days of being a successful sous-chef and her marriage to Matt, a loving husband. A sudden accident in the kitchen forces her to leave the job she loves, and worse, to forgo a dream promotion. As the hottest summer in L.A. history reaches its peak, she faces an extreme challenge: doing nothing. The summer intensifies as she confronts a growing emotional gulf between herself and her husband, much unsolicited advice from her prying girlfriend and the temptation of an old flame..

Everyone gets screwed in this lackluster movie.. the lead actor.. the ex-boyfriend.. the husband.. an unborn child.. and ultimately, everyone viewing this tepid piece of whatever. Starts off, she has lots of free time on her hands, and she's bored. Subsequently she unexpectedly runs into an ex (that she had abruptly walked out on), and not batting an eyelash, starts up and continues a months long affair with him. And we're all left clueless what was so wrong with the seemingly very good-guy hubby. Then we have to guess her hormones subside, guilt takes over.. whatever, and she decides to dump the repeat lover (again), heads back to the arms of the totally clueless spouse... supposedly to live happily ever after. Of course, she never utters a word to him about her infidelity, and that the kid might not have been his. Yea.. she's a real sweetheart-keeper this one is. (Her pix on bing more exemplify the real Abby.) And seriously, could anyone possibly believe after being unceremoniously kicked to the curb.. now twice, that he's not going to hastily revenge out-her. Now that's the way it rightfully should have ended for her.. she deserves to have to crawl back for a third try.

The one star vote is being too generous.Between the excess hipster lifestyle represented in Silver Lake to the worst casting and plot in the history of movie-making - this film is the epitome of S * & T!I would have liked to end my review on this crap at the previous paragraph but IMDb won't let me. We have to have 10 lines - but because I hate hate this film so much it's so very important to me that it is heard... Jamie Pressly is so annoying - she really needs to just stick to her stereotype roles. I'm sorry - she just is not meant for drama. Her nose won't let her.Robin Thicke - no words - except - just STOP & that hair-do!!!I want to cry because it's really THAT BAD...

First, this movie is way too short and ends too abruptly. Shouldn't all movies follow the "hour and a half" rule of thumb? Not this movie.Second, the actors hardly seemed engaged. As a matter of fact, Robin Thick, certainly not an actor, upstaged all these "Golden Globe Nominated" professional actors.Third, there are a few things I still don't understand. What was the purpose of including the friend, mother, and repair man? Why did Abby have to be a chef? Where was the real conflict? Although it was fun to watch, why did Jaime Pressly get naked?Honestly, I would rather cut off my fingers like Abby than watch this movie again.

I don't normally write reviews but this movie deserved others to be warned - I wish I had been. This may possibly be the worst movie I have ever seen. I found myself praying I didn't have to watch her go through 9 months of pregnancy while her husband drilled their deck and she watered her flowers. I actually felt the acting was as bad as adult-entertainment movies, like the plot was that horrible, and the acting was atrocious. The only thing I was left wondering at the end of the movie was how this movie got by without Robin Thicke getting a massive "wtf man!! That just wasted an hour of my life!!" from someone like Kevin Hart? Consider yourself warned.
