Eine Scheidung zum Verlieben

Wow, this movie knocked me off my socks! I just stumbled across it accidentally and couldn't believe how the story line unfolded. It really is the perfect train wreck. The male actor has an awesome and beautiful wife that anyone would fall in love with but an even more beautiful reconnection with his high school sweet heart right after he marries his perfect wife. What to do? He certainly makes a lot of mistakes but in all honesty anyone would struggle in the situations he was in. I think my mouth was open in shock for most the movie as I waivered with his every decision. But in the end the train wreck works itself out. Awesome movie!

If I could rate this a 0, I would. It was that bad. The "acting" was forced and unnatural, which took me completely out of the movie. I don't know who the lead "actor" is, but he's awful.

Didn't expect much. Met my expectations. Wish they would've focused on the plot and the logical outcomes, especially in terms of psychological patterns etc. The characters are not nearly complex enough to possibly let them be a reflection on real life. Also there's a vast amount of cringe-worthy moments - might be funny to other people, but for me it was just a waste of precious time. I'd honestly say it's actually too annoying to even watch when bored. Or tired. Or sleeping. At this point It makes me wonder: 'What were they thinking while making this movie?' Well, obviously not much. But hey, if you're into that kinda stuff - you do you!

You know how sometimes you are watching a movie and you are wondering, how did someone involved with the production not see that there are significant shortcomings. This is one such movie. The cast isn't all bad, Elliott Gould is excellent of course, Lainie Kazan has seen better days, Nadia Bjorlin has something weird going on with her eyes (apparently she is from Days of our Lives), Maeve Quinlan and Robin Riker (both from The Bold and The Beautiful according to IMDb) look and act like soapie actors.

Jonathan Bennett in the lead as Michael is all over the place. Andrea Bowen (Julie from Desperate Housewives) is quite good, and Keith Robinson as Michael's best friend is probably the best in the movie. The wonderful Richard Kind has a very small but good part. I should mention Jamie-Lynn Sigler, she is very good, but her character is not likable, and the presentation she is giving early in the movie in a college lecture room is ridiculously banal. Embarrassingly so.

Stuff just doesn't make sense, the internal logic (even for a rom-com, and we like rom-coms) is in tatters, and the script is very poor indeed. On the plus side, the movie is well shot - at least it looks professional.

But, it just isn't any good. I can only give it 2/10.

I could not get past the anti-Semitism. This was a joke, even from the first scene where a supposed Jewish customer is bragging about a big tip and then the main character actually not taking the tip. I am surprised seasoned Jewish actors like Lainie Kazan and Eliot Gould would submit to this travesty. Simply horrible and other than wasted acting, the movie was a hate filled film against Judaism.
