Overrated and overhyped

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This movie was kinda dumb. Had no great message and pretty much no likeable characters

So much of this movie was horrendous. Owen Wilson's character Steve, our protagonist, is an unlikeable peeping-tom whose cliche playboy persona is so tired I almost fell asleep every time he was on screen. His character arc is meant to be about him growing up and learning responsibility. But, these changes are only motivated by the desire to have sex with his best friend's step-mom, Angela. His subsequent tantrum that she sleeps with his friend and not him reminded me of a child screaming "that's MY toy!" on the playground. Steve is certainly no Don Draper. Amy Poehler's character is portrayed as a total stick in the mud, even though her dad's just died and she's going through hormone treatments and her behaviours were pretty understandable. Who wouldn't be mad that their step-mom showed up to their father's funeral in a see-through dress? Who wouldn't be pissed that their dad left their sibling WAY more money and assets in the will? Who in their right mind would want their brother's high as the stratosphere, dead-beat friend interjecting in private discussions about her father's will? Suuuuuch a buzzkill. The real treat of this movie though is Angela, the aforementioned step-mother. She is meant to be seen as this earthy, loving woman who heals the men around her. But she only seems to do this with sex. And baking pies. Maybe Matthew Weiner should stick to directing shows about the 60s cause that time is a lot more in tune with his views on women. Owen Wilson yells at her toward the end of the movie that she has no responsibilities and just gets everything she wants because she's hot. This line is meant to be taken as super mean and uncalled for-but it's true. Maybe I'm a prude, but banging your step-son SHOULD be frowned upon. More than that, the idea that having sex with his stepmom would help Ben's mental-health is absurd. And, the suggestion that once you start to take medication you can instantly get better and change your whole outlook and lifestyle is ridiculous. And, in almost every scene something weird and unrealistic happened that pulled me out of the story. Examples: A prostitute calls and leaves a voicemail to confirm an appointment just like the dentist. Owen Wilson, a 50 year old man gets caught spying on his 20 something neighbour changing and she smiles and waves at him instead of calling the cops on this perv. Ben bites a child's cookie and the mother isn't weirded out. This movie failed to make me care about a single character, failed to make me laugh a single time, failed to adequately use Jenna Fischer, and failed to leave any kind of impact other than disappointment.

I noticed this movie in the "similar movies" section at the bottom left of the movie "Masterminds" on Netflix. I had already seen Masterminds but was going to watch it again, but then figured THIS one would be similar...and it WAS NOT.At first I was a little disappointed, but then the adult in me realized I was watching an amazing movie that MOST of you knuckleheads out there wouldn't GET or understand, ESPECIALLY if you came here hoping to see a mindless comedy like Masterminds. I started watching this with intentions to just laugh, and turn my brain off a little. What I got was a thoughtful subtly funny movie that was thought provoking and interesting. That's really all i wanted to say. I wanted the movie to keep going for another 30 minutes, but the writer figures he would let us all make our own stories, predictions on what happens next. Lots of bad ratings on this, and that's a shame. Honestly, my wife didn't much care for it, but I loved it. I'm 48, she's 37 (high five). Make your own judgment, but if you are looking for a sophomoric brainless comedy, do NOT push play on this one...

Movie felt all over the place. At times it had crude humor then what I assumed was suppose to be heart felt moments which just seemed as bad acting. Add a lot of cheesy clichés and that's about it. Under my interpretation, the movie is to provoke one to think, is one way of life better than the other. It tries to be deep but nah. I would assume a 14 year old boy wrote this movie 😂
