You Can't Say No

I loved this film. It's warm and funny without ever being sappy or schmaltzy or sentimental. My wife and I agreed that it's really the perfect "date night movie" for adults. If you've been with your partner for a while I bet you'll relate to this movie, which is a little bit deeper than the poster and promo material make it seem.

My wife and I were disappointed in this film. The acting wasn't very good and the story had holes in it. The game was to tell the other person something to do that they can't say no to but if you didn't do it you just lost the game. Doesn't lead to much suspense. Near the end, she says she has one more question but none of the others where questions so that was odd. The 3 way scene was just uncomfortable and there were way too many body scars that made no sense in the story. We paid $3.99 to rent this and felt we wasted 1 hour and 30 minutes and $3.99. Our advice is watch anything else. Absolutely anything

This is a solid film, funny, sweet and timely, well-conceived and well-acted, with beautiful cinematography featuring California's Sonoma County. Dialogue feels natural and improvised at times, with an exquisite supporting role by legendary Peter Fonda as an eccentric, aging nudist parent. The film has strokes of mastery and restraint, feels contemporary but has an old school pacing reminiscent of early Linklater and 1980s Schepisi, chanelling 1950s Hitchcock. Keep an eye on Hus Miller.

The wife and I watched what we thought was going to be a light hearted romcom. We totally weren't expecting the LSD-taking, ball shaving, threesome smut-fest that ensued. Absolutely fantastic. Put us right in the mood. Only 9 stars as the chemistry between the two leads dipped at times.

Might appeal to those who are in a seasoned relationship. This is not a movie for spectacular acting or deep storyline. It does flirt with rather substantive relationship issues which I wish the writers had explored JUST a little further. However, the movie certainly generates enough interest in the characters and their lives. This gives an insight into how removing day to day issues & responsibilities that typically consume our lives, might actually lead to re-igniting THE spark of initial courtship; AND how when these issues creep back in, those hurt feelings from fights/arguments can return very quickly to destructively weigh down the relationship. And a shoutout to Peter Fonda who does a good job playing a somewhat lovable character. In summary, this is a movie to cuddle up to with your significant other which will put a wry smile on your faces when the credits start rolling.
