Watch Men, Women & Children For Free

That was an excellent one.

Thanks for the memories!

Sorry, this movie sucks

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Men, Women & Children is an ensemble film by director Jason Reitman. Although Adam Sandler gets top billing, this is not an "Adam Sandler" film. It's very much an ensemble and he is simply playing a character messed in with other characters. Sandler's character is an online addict who discovers scrambling through his teenage son's computer. Meanwhile, his wife (Rosemarie DeWitt) seeks extramarital spice online. Then there's a high school football star Tim (Ansel Elgort) who quits the game to focus on an online virtual game- Guild Wars, to the consternation of his dad (Dean Norris). The latter starts dating a photographer (Judy Greer) who fosters her teen daughter's Hollywood aspirations by posting sensitive photos of her online. Representing the opposite extreme, Jennifer Garner plays a mother who monitors her level-headed daughter's mobile devices.As a whole this film at first feels similar to a documentary then somewhat shifts and feels more like a television soap opera or dramatic mini-series split into several episodes. The running time of the film is almost 2 hours long, which is given since there are a lot of characters, and it's needed in giving them their proper screen time to develop any sense of plot. What doesn't work for this film, is the overall mood and tone of the film. It feels mostly very quiet, bland and depressing. The characters aren't too interesting or anything new (standard teen seeking relationships, parents not trusting teens, etc.) The film is more so of a journey and just feels by the end of the film, as if was it worth it. One can see why this film was a box office flop, as I barely recall it being distributed or promoted.

Will definitely look for it, I just popped this in from my vast selection of stuff, didn't even look at the title, saw Adam Sandler and I really love Sandler in less than his average flix so I was like what the hell. Boy what an awesome surprise. Adam knocks it out but really there was such a really nice healthy size cast and a really healthy thick plot and a super healthy nice thick big... long Theme! Infinitely long, us, we are the center of the universe, or our universe and it doesn't even matter, well not really, if we are standing a billion light years away in a galaxy far very far away, but unfortunately we are here, we come with our junk in our trunk and as we get into in our lil' blue spec of life we begin to fill it, everyone and everything else lends a hand to our trunk and pretty soon we have to make a pit stop and have a garage sale if we are lucky, maybe someone will pick up our junk and it will be their gold, who knows it might be aliens a million years from now, hopefully someone picks up my junk before the infinite vast universe goes "Crunch" , I so, oh so loved this flix - I'm sure the book must be a billion times ahead of its time... One thing I have to say, I researched this novelist's wiki page and it seems he has been deemed the go to guy in effigy to burn at the stake. Well, I am here to say, I hope a big meteor lands on the next person or persons and burn them up first for they do nothing and will do nothing for this world unlike the artist they are trying to dump on. Get a life and learn that the world does not revolve solely on the things you like or deem appropriate! Long live Chad , I love you and hope you have a very successful career! :)

If you like cautionary melodrama laid on so thick that you aren't sure if it's supposed to be a joke, this movie is for you. It reminds me a little of Crash and (if you go way back) Mazes and Monsters. It seems to want to be an exploration of how the internet collides with teen angst, but it weirdly seems to have been written by someone who was never a teen and only knows what the internet is from 2nd hand descriptions. Aliens maybe? I really don't know who could have come up with this script in earnest. It's full of weird misconceptions about things that I previously assumed were part of commonplace experience. I'm pretty sure the actors were taking it seriously though. Wow, is there a lot of Serious Acting being Acted here.

The first time I found out about this movie was about a month or two before the actual release date when I saw the trailer on IMDb. I've had 2-3 instances of being completely devoted to a movie just by seeing the trailer, and this was defiantly one of those instances.While usually I prefer to watch the movie before reading the book so that I'll be pleased and not so critical of either media, I couldn't hold out the extra month or two to see the movie and figured that the trailer was so good I might as well read the book. Which the story is very realistic and as I like to put it a "behind the curtains view" of characters and their personal lives. These sort of stories are my favorite, especially when they have a thought provoking somewhat disturbing sub-plot. However, it provides that kind of thought provoking you get from reading a book once and not hundreds of times. So just from the book, the plot was very interesting and while it had a lot of filler moments, of just putting in meaningless moments for emphasis on something later, the fact that you bounce around from these intertwined personalities and families made the story completely. Like I said before, the story focuses on a realistic people but set along with disturbing topics such as anorexia, sex, suicide, pedophilia, etc. So reading the book very much proved to be very dark and sexual and other than the parental characters in the book all the children are still in their last year of junior high which makes these topics more explicitly disturbing. The movie was beautifully directed and very toned down despite still being very sexual and dark. It was pretty close to what you read in the book and centers more around sub-characters that weren't as centered in the book. The movie, like the book, is drawn out too though and you can tell where some parts are just for filling in details and are of little importance.In conclusion of this entire summary, this is a beautiful cult film that a lot of people might enjoy if they read the book as well. In fact I made my friends and some friends of friends read the book and watch the movie like a book club and they agreeably were entranced with the topic and genre. However, if you don't like the book/movie it might be a preference or relatability being that I am a bit younger and related to the themes in the book that the children go through more than the parents.
