What a great movie, a tangy, tasty slice of life, a dead-on combination of edgy, New York/Jersey everyman angst and West Coast/Left Coast laidback-but-so-very-self-awareness!! I laugh out loud every time I see this, anticipating lines and still enjoying them as they come up. The cameos are perfect. The rapid-fire pace may be exhausting as some critics have observed, but this is very typical of a NYer's conversational patterns. Anyone who's moved from one coast to the other and taken their city sensibilities with them, and anyone who's ever been a dumpER or a dumpEE will find something very familiar about the scenarios presented. Mr. Shapiro and Mr. Dozier should collaborate again; at any rate, I wish them both success in their respective romantic ventures!
It's one of those quirky films that you wind up absolutely loving.
After you've seen it a few times (usually on IFC), you stay until the very last scene (after the credits all roll) and wish you had the soundtrack for it.
Even though JD Shapiro reminds me of a young Bob from Becker, and Rock looks like the California beach boy, the story is fresh and the back and forth stuff works well.
One scene I loved which was kind of a throw away scene is when Jake is laying on the grass feeling lonely and the ducks go by and he's looking at them like, "Not you too." It was just a quick, passing scene that I liked a lot. I also liked the Christmas scene when they visit Rocks, him, the dog and the tree. I thought that funny.
Kevin Bacon does the six degrees of Margeaux and also adds a lot of great stuff to the soundtrack.
The voice of Margo is terrific (esp her laugh)...just a lot of fun, clever stuff. I really like this movie.
Very cool, funny, quirky movie. I wish it was on DVD and I wish I had the soundtrack!!!!!

Pay no attention to Xabbu's comments. This movie is a riot from the start. Fast paced comedy based on real life experiences between the two male leads, Rock & Jake,(William Dozier & J.D. Shapiro) and their mutual "ex", Margo. Jillian Johns does a great job as Jake's on again-off again girlfriend Tracy. One gathers the impression that Margo is a man-eater as she runs through partners quickly and ruthlessly. Cameos made by established Hollywood names sprinkled throughout the film lend an air of credibility to the story, though the leads are for the most part unknown talents. The movie is funny enough that I go out of my way to watch it every time it airs on Independent Film Channel (IFC) and I've probably seen it half a dozen times already. I would quickly purchase a copy of this film if it were available on DVD. If you need a movie to lift your spirits or just appreciate a good laugh, We Married Margo is for you.
"We Married Margo" is one of my all time favorite movies-- and I've only seen it twice. I think that says something. A note on my taste of comedy: Mel Brooks, Robin Williams, George Carlin, Kevin Smith. If that gives you some idea of my taste.
This film has a great feel to it. It is quick paced as the two guys (Jake and Rock) tell the story of how they lived together after their common ex-wife Margo dumped them both-- and half of the men and women in America.
Look for all of the guest appearances. I hope they'll release it on video/DVD soon. See it. You'll crack up. Trust me. 4.9/5

This movie is perhaps the funniest movie I have seen to date, and I've seen PLENTY of them! Never before have I laughed so hard, and so long at a movie, much less a movie on TV! If you have ANY chance of seeing this movie (I saw it on IFC, but I understand it's supposed to be on Comedy Central soon), CHECK it out!! The more people that see it & comment on it, the better chance we have of getting it on DVD or, even better, in the Theaters! I honestly believe this movie would make a killing at the box-office!
But hey, don't take my word for it, check it out yourself
I honestly think this will become one of your favorite all time movies!
