You Can't Say No

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.

OK, so the acting wasn't top notch, but the story and sentiment were pretty good. All relationships have ups and downs, but the message of hope, mixed with the main characters' desire to rekindle lost feelings, was a positive one. I found myself hoping he didn't stray again with the hot girl he met even though the outcome was predictable. Rating reflects the formulaic approach, but overall I enjoyed this RomCom.

Had a group of friends over for a viewing party last night. Everyone loved this movie, even the non-romantic type. Humor interspersed in a great story line. Loved the relaxed acting and local scenery as well. This is a don't miss movie! I'm going to watch it again.

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.

Not a masterpeice but worth watching. Good, sometimes clever script. Interesting, well developed, surprising characters. Peter Fonda was great.

Well written movie that explores the struggles of marriage with humor and honesty. Set amongst the beautiful Sonoma County scenery the movie explores a couples journey to learn about each other.

I loved this Movie! A fun and light hearted movie about a very important subject...Marriage and love! The setting was beautiful , especially if you are familar with the Northern California wine area. Great to see Peter Fonda in a film again. He has always been one of my favorite actors. Great acting by Marquerite Moreau, Hamish Linklater and Hus Miller. A very good date night movie and a refreshing ending. Grab your popcorn and a good glass of California wine and enjoy!!

Do yourself a favor and just enjoy the preview. Most romcom's are somewhat relatable, this one: not so much. The reality is divorce is brutal. Lives are changed forever. Children suffer massive emotional distress. The storyline used here uses a caviler approach to normalize infidelity and divorce through comedy and pseudo-irony, and it's completely unrealistic-so much that actors have a hard time accessing emotion necessary to portray the screenwriting which leaves us confused at multiple points along the timeline. Additionally, the role of the two children-who conveniently just "get" how divorce and separation work- seem like afterthoughts in the writing process by only being included in two or three scenes near the beginning of the film. If you're the type content with solving the world's struggles in a half hour before dinner, this is totally for you. For the rest of us realistic folks, don't waste your time.
