is this a male in marriage midlife crisis movie?is this a slapstick comedy?is this a teen sex flick?is this a tween fantasy movie?i do not know.but i do know it ain't funny because it's trying to be funny and comes across as just stupid. the story rambles on putting 'bill' in one goofy situation after another and then has a serious finish.not much else to be said about this attempt at comedy/drama/sex/slapstick/idiosyncrasy bomb of a film.forget it!

Although my sentiments may have something to do with the fact that I attended the school in which half of this movie was filmed, I still think that it's absolutely hilarious. The film is incredibly accurate in its portrayal of the wealthy community of Ladue, Missouri, and it gives viewers a glimpse into the dysfunctional, scandalous, backwards world of Midwest high society. Even the names of some of the individuals in the film are exactly the same in real life. This movie probably hits a little bit too close to home for some people...rich trust-fund babies controlled by their parents, horribly dysfunctional marriages, affairs, inappropriate student-teacher relationships, the stupid school uniforms, the cars people drive, the country clubs, the banks, the tacky jewelry, EVERYTHING is completely accurate! If you've ever spend any time in St. Louis, you absolutely MUST see this movie. It is sickeningly real, and the people depicted in it are probably too stupid to know that they are being mocked. I give this movie two thumbs up.

I am very touched because this movie has a lot of messages. And Aaron Eckhart is very excellent acting in this movie. In the scene of swimming, I feel a lot of things and It comes to mind the movie titled "The Graduate(1967)". It seems like this movie. First, this and that movie are finding the real identification and the hero is wandering about his life. and the angle of the camera is really good. It seems like the same swimming scene, but it's not same in each swimming. it's very deep message to me, that the life is not showing to others, it's yours so you find your way. I feel. Yes, that's great. and I really commend this movie.

If you like Aaron Eckhart then you'll like this film. It's a departure from anything he's done in the past. Elizabeth Banks plays his wife, a beautiful, self obsessed, spoiled, rich bitch with no redeeming qualities except her looks and body. (It's VERY much the same role as she played in "The Baxter". She's really got this character type down and is carving a niche for herself in indie films.)As I watched this movie, I thought that it reminded me of those indie films that I loved from the late 90's and early 2000's and how they just don't make them like this anymore. I didn't laugh all the way through this movie, but there were places where I chuckled (considerably) and I did have a smirk on my face for a good bit of the movie. (Think "The Ex" but not as funny.)It a great Friday night, too tired to think, order a pizza and veg movie. And if you like indie films from a decade ago, then you'll be glad you rented this one.
