Divorce Invitation

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.

Divorce Invitation is a B to C grade movie about a young couple that jump into the whole marriage couple thing a tad soon even to the point that Michael changes his religion from Christian to Jewish and even to the point Michael jumps in so fast that he signs a prenump without reading it as he is head over heals in love with. Dylan that he does not care about any legal paperwork.

This movie has all the trimmings of a funny romantic comedy and in some parts its funny but the whole fact of chaeating when you are in a commited relationship is a tad on the nose.

Nadia Bjorlin is the other woman and like the reviewer before me I noticed that the make up around Nadia Bjorlin eyes was a tad too dark and it made her look strange she is beautiful but the darkness maybe this ment that there was a depth of sadness for her character.

A one time watch for me.

Maybe not a date movie choose something else.

Worth watching and had a fun time warching the movie.

Very new concept for hollywood

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.
