I like the fact that Leslie plays the lead character instead of supporting, for a change. However i found the movie to be too long, especially considering the fact that there is not that great of plot. I can honestly say that i did not laugh one single time, and i love all comedies. The movie made me Wonder why they stayed together, because of the lack of chemestry between the characters as well as the actors. I didn't really root for any of the characters, and found many scenes confusing and boring. I really wanted to like and enjoy this comedy, but i did not.

Best performance was Albert Brooks as Rudd's Dad, gotta be honest, don't really know him but great in this. I'd say defo worth a watch, 8/10

The movie could have been a lot more interesting if the screenplay was far more nice and quick with the storytelling. This would've been nice if it had much more screen time of Melisa mc.

It seems Pete invested his future in the resurgence of Graham Parker.They are clearly a mixed couple as Pete likes classic rock while Debbie prefers Lady Gaga. They also have father issues, one is a stranger (John Lithgow) while the other needs a handout (Albert Brooks). Apatow also brings back his daughters Maude and Iris from "Knocked Up" to be Sadie and Charlotte again. I must say his daughters did a great job as a moody foul mouthed 11 year old and an 8 year old wise beyond her years who says to her sister, "You're no fun since your body got weird."The humor is never really a side splitter such as when they are talking to each other as their counselor says they should talk to each other:Paul: "When I apologize, that means you'll let it go and won't throw it back at me in the future?" Debbie: "I don't do that and I will continue not to do that."If you loved Apatow's other work, this one is in line with them: crudely humorous and pretentious masquerading as a meaningful statement on modern relationships.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Leslie Mann). Megan Fox bra/panties and bikini. Maybe as a rental.In case you are watching "Lost" for the first time, this film includes the spoiler ending.
