The trailer is rather heavy, but be warned the actual movie is totally different!I really love some of director Jason Reitmans work, but this movie was forced upon Reitman by the hollywood studios, after his last movie flopped. Reitman had little control over the end product. His talent still shines through, but the end product is a boring mess, because the studios began interferring with the creative process in order to sell this depressing story at the box office. It failed miserably anyway...The problem is that this movie starts out pretty good. When I started watching it, I really was into it. Because of the great actors in it, I got seduced in watching it anyway, thinking it would be another great Reitman movie. WRONG. This is one of those movies that slowly grinds to a halt. The story is just a mess. There are way to many different characters. The movie lasts for 2 hours! Probably it is trying to be true to the story of the original book, but films that literally copy the storyline of books are often complete failures at the box office.The Internet in itself is neither good nor bad, it's how it's used that matters. Reitman tries to tackle the matter of how technology is retarding the way we relate to one another. For those who just came out of a cave and have never heard of the internet, yes for those ex-cave dwellers this would be the ideal movie! For anyone else this movie wil work better than a sleeping pill, because it is mindnumbingly boring and pointless.

If you like witty comedy or action movie violence look away. But if you like hard hitting drama with brilliant story telling fantastic acting and a serious and relevant plot then Men, Women and Children is perfect. M,W&C is a modern classic that forces the watcher to see the real world impact of sex, high school gossip and the internet. From porn addiction and peer pressure to the video game phenomenon that effects the vast majority of the western world's young adults this film not only shows the struggle of the parents but also an incitefull view at the teenage aspects of life

A group of high school teenagers and their parents attempt to navigate the many ways the Internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image, and their love lives. Starring Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, Dean Norris, Adam Sandler, J.K Simmons and many more "Men, Women & Children" is a film that tries to showcase in different groups of people that try to use the internet but also how each and every single one of them gets affected from it. Now let me start by saying this, the film has a very talented cast and each actor gives a very down to earth performance and i found the drama to handled very well by Jason Reitman, where the film lost it's focus i think was with the story of Don Truby (Sandler) and Helen Truby (DeWitt) and it's not like the actors were bad or anything it's just that the whole story around them was just not very dramatic or interesting to begin with, the most interesting storyline of the movie for me was the story of Allison Doss that was a very dramatic tale and something that many girls in real life suffer from plus Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) also gave a very good performance as well. This is not a movie for everyone for sure i mean i'm sure that some people will find it boring or other just feel like something it's lacking but if you have never seen this before give it a shot you might actually enjoy it a lot. (8/10)

The film is a messy, chaotic mishmash of sub-plots that predictably fail to amalgamate into one overall, coherent plot. Though little is resolved at the end, the movie isn't a complete waste of time, if only for the pleasure of seeing Adam Sandler play a normal human being for a change. The film tries to be a cautionary tale both for and against the Internet and its misuse, abuse, and overuse, but it fails both ways, and ends up canceling itself out. It tries to remind us that despite the internet - or, perhaps because of it - we are still real, live human beings, with flesh and blood and wants and needs and desires and lusts and fears and angst, but we already knew that since about 2004, so it's about a decade too late.
