Film's not funny enough to be a comedy. And it doesn't have enough drama to be interesting. Movie feels more like a rough draft than a fully realized film.
Paul Rudd is good. But his character plays the same note over and over. And it's not a good note.
You feel sorry for the actresses, wishing the material could rise to their talents. There isn't one character here compelling enough to make us want to watch or care for their plight and that's a shame because with a polish, they could have been good. What we're left with though is cliche parts - the naive wife with the cheating husband, the professional businesswoman with the unfulfilled love life, and Zooey Deschanel.
Rashida Jones is always good in everything she does.
Steve Coogan plays the bad guy well.
The film is bland and blah.
