Watch Flannel Pajamas For Free

A lot of fun.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I had rented Flannel Pajamas and the wife and I were watching it. We enjoyed the film a lot. Now, I'm a pretty sharp tack for detail and during one scene in this movie there is an exchange of a phone number it was a "212" phone number and it wasn't the typical "555-1234" kind of phone number. No, it was a very realistic phone number. So I backed up the DVD and got a pen and paper. I wrote the number down and grabbed my phone on my nightstand. I dialed the phone number and a man answered. I was in shock and I said "hi is this Jeff"? Guy on the phone- "yeah, who is this"-, Me- "I'm watching your movie and your phone number was in the scene" Jeff Lipsky- "click".Well, not so friendly guy I must admit. I'd be willing to forgive him for not pointing out that I cracked his 'easter egg'.. Hey no problem.. maybe he was expecting someone else?? Anyway as I was hoping.. I'd gladly forgive Jeff if he would give me a fitting role in his next film.. Hey Jeff call me at 914 310 3093 LOL- That's my 'real' phone number!!! Gerard

I was really looking forward to this movie, especially after the amazing montage trailer set to the beautiful "Thursday" by Asobi Seksu. Unfortunately, that song and Justin Kirk are the ONLY good things about this film. From the first scene, this movie fails. The dialogue is terribly, terribly written ("Camels are what I smoke; Bacardi is what I drink; and the unemployment office is where I hang out"???) and nary a character is interesting or believable.But for me, by far the worst thing about the film is the Nicole character. Her actions throughout are incredibly selfish. Who would accept $15,000 from a brand new boyfriend at the very beginning of a relationship? Similarly, she is only too happy (once they are married) to quit her job and blow through thousands of dollars of Stuart's savings to start a catering "business" that we never see any evidence of after a single scene in which she is preparing "her first catering job." She demands a dog even though her husband is allergic and hates them. She essentially leaves her husband because he doesn't want a kid within the first two years of marriage -- a pretty reasonable limitation that he discussed with her and SHE AGREED TO before they were married! Good lord! Throughout this movie, the characters are utterly unreal. She celebrates getting fired from a job. He sits calmly at the table with his mother-in-law and enlists her as an ally not three minutes after her anti-Semitic diatribe. The whole thing is just laughable and interminable. What a waste of time and the $5 rental fee. Ugh.

This was one of the worst movies I have seen in recent year. From the get go - in the "magical" romantic diner scene -- I found the dialog unrealistic and ridiculously loquacious -- and the characters immensely unlikeable..... especially him: an obnoxious, rich, arrogant prick!! And there was no character development whatsoever!! It was laughable!! The brother goes from being a good guy who is A) invited to their house for Christmas to B) giving a warm, beautiful toast at the wedding to C) ( stop the presses!! ) all of a sudden OUT OF NOWHERE!!!!! being a crazed suicidal genius?? Where the hell did that come from?? And all the talk about her family's craziness was unfounded as well .... I thought the brother had one of the best times of his life there?? They seemed warm at Christmas, and that one brother in the basement did not seem "morose" at all ( perhaps the director needs a better dictionary )?? Of course, by the time the mother's hilarious-out-of-the-blue classic Jew- hating bit arrived at the film's end, it was already way, way too late.... and speaking of the whole "different faith" marriage bit that the director just throws in there like sloppy seconds .... when was that ever introduced/developed?? That whole angle certainly was no "Bridget Loves Bernie" ... and the sex?? The sex???? Never before have I found sex scenes in movies so loathsome to watch, so naked just for naked's sake just because that's how "real" this movie is.... NEWSFLASH!!!! This movie's characters and dialog were not "real" and the sex therefore just felt like the director throwing it in because he could, and it was awful. Just like this whole stinker...

Film follows the relationship between two thirty something New Yorkers through their first date, courtship, marriage, and eventual breakup. Interesting concept but this film is in dire need of an editor. Film begins with a blind date at a diner where the two main characters meet. I was looking forward to experiencing the initial awkwardness of the first date; the small talk and uncomfortable moments which would then gradually transform into two people connecting on a more intimate level. Instead, the film starts mid date at the diner with the main characters and their friends who are distracting and don't need to be there. To make matters worse, Stuart (Justin Kirk) comes off as arrogant, and a bit smarmy. Nicole (Julianne Nicholson)is a mousy, dull young woman who appears to lack confidence. If you don't like the characters, who cares whether they like each other? A subsequent scene has Stuart in the rain lying his jacket between the curb and the cab so Nicole doesn't get wet, then leaves it there. This comes off more stupid than charming.As the film progresses, Justin Kirk as Stuart does begin to tone things down and the character starts to become more likable as the couple's relationship develops. But then, Nicole begins to become more selfish, childish, and immature. Nicole's change in her feelings toward Stuart seems to come somewhat out of the blue. All this results in an ending that is a downer and a bit puzzling. The actors do what they can, but the writing, directing, and editing let them down.Lots and lots of dialog here and unnecessary scenes that don't move the story. Also, several unnecessary characters and plot lines are introduced but fail to have much significance. Decent supporting performances, however, especially by Rebecca Schull as Nicole's mom. Also a surprising amount of nudity by both lead characters which was tastefully done. "Flannel Pajamas" does have some important things to say about the difficulty in sustaining relationships today, especially with so many outside influences such as family, friends, and careers. Still, I'm not convinced that investing two hours in these characters was quite worth it.
