REVIEW
Any movie that is promoted as a comedy should be funny or at the very least, makes you feel good. This one does neither.
In addition, there is nothing in the film that we’ve not seen before: three couples, all quite well off, all having marital problems. And we have to sit and watch them fight.
Only Olivia’s struggles with the men in her life offer any real interest. But for the most part, these relationships seem so contrived with too many implausible situations that you soon lose interest in the whole thing.
CLASSIFICATION
for language (all the women use the f-word frequently), some sexual content and brief drug use, very brief.
