Although earnest, the story is flimsy and lacks heart - which ends up wasting a great cast. I love Rose Byrne in comedy roles, which I think can eventually lead her to greatness. Plus the talents of Anna Faris and Minnie Driver - a missed opportunity.
I get the comedy potential of a married couple, each falling in love with someone else. But it's wasted here, as the story rushed along too fast, never letting us fall in love with the characters.
Stephen Merchant nearly stole the show, sounding exactly like a Ricky Gervais stand-up routine. Yes, I know they're writing partners. Maybe the film should have been about him.
