Egg

I have to say this is one of the best conceived and acted films I have watched in a long time; it seems as if it might transfer very well to the stage if someone wanted to bother. What I must comment on is the classification of "comedy". Perhaps for singles or people that are disillusioned with relationships and parenthood, this might seem funny, but if you are a conscientious parent or in a willingly committed relationship, this was far from funny. Every single one of the characters were well-acted and very believable so that I saw very close similarities from my own social circle and the subject matter was very dark. I would classify this as "drama" and remove the "comedy" tag.

Wouldn't call it brilliant but over-all it was a nice little movie. I was surprised at the low rating then I remembered that people tend to lie action and suspense and crazy twists and turns. Well this movie has none of that but shows how REAL life is. Coming of middle age and sacrafices people make.

Great acting..

over all

6.8

I've seen all of the actors in other movies before and I wasn't disappointed to see them now, but I cannot get by the fact that everyone in this movie was completely selfish. I watch movies to escape real life, the last thing I need to see is people being horrible to each other and claiming to actually love them while doing it. What a depressing state if this is how Hollywood sees us

This movie started out with a happy couple, yes Tina was strong, which is what I like, as she told Don toward the end of the movie he was afraid of, which is true, I can say that because I've seen it. Before they even stepped into Tina's and Wayne's home Don had already made his mind up, and it never changed, Karen who thought that Tina was attacking her found out why as Tina spoke to her about her feelings, and what women, and men do, these things were too spot on for Karen. The two men were weak in this movie Wayne as he said changed his mind from before, which a person is aloud to do, but you can't be mad at Tina, because what happened previously was her doing what he wanted, because she loved him so, Kiki was weak needing someone to take care of her, believing that a married man would leave his wife for her, saying that everytime he gets ready to leave her she gets pregnant, she blamed her for that, but men will do that everytime so they can have their piece on the side, which is true of Don, he has to control Karen every chance he got. Tina fought back, which is something he didn't like, he wanted Tina to be Pretty and Submissive to Wayne as Karen was to him. His idea was to break up a strong woman from a loving, but weak man who got all of her. Tina never told Karen's secret, but as Karen and Don were leaving she did say some words that secured Karen's future with Don, she didn't want her to do, but after that Don gave, she was happy Tina did, even after Don came there and ruined her family life. Kiki on the other hand got a man who cared for her, because Don only cared about himself and no one else, which is super weak, which Karen and her were. Wayne at the end came to her art opening, with something they both wanted, after seeing her so she could see how the EGG turned out, he and the product of the EGG lefted. She tried to them through the crowd, but they were gone all because of the overbearing Don who broke them up out of spite.

I didn't get it. It was decently acted, I guess. I didn't agree with or at times even understand what was being talked about. I mainly watched it for Christina Hendricks. If this was a comedy it was as unfunny as one could get. I also found it quite hard to believe that a man would buy a building in the east village and it would be rent controlled for $415/mo. That wasn't a major plot point, it was just something else I just didn't get. What year does this take place? I strongly disliked the men in this movie and the surrogate, her five phases made no sense and her reason for existing seemed to be for the pleasure of men. Her character struck as one that would sympathize with sexual predators.
