Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn order to fine-tune her character Suzie's British accent, Alison Brie listened to recordings of readings provided by her British co-star Emily Blunt.
- GoofsThroughout the film, Violet and her colleagues refer to people taking part in their psychology experiments as "subjects". This term is no longer used in psychology (and has not been used for decades) as it is thought to be disrespectful and has unethical, dehumanising connotations. Rather, today psychologists use the term "participant" to refer to people who take part in an experiment.
- Quotes
Tom Solomon: I think I understand why I have communication issues. Mom, maybe you should slow down on the Bloody Mary's. You don't need any more.
Carol Solomon: Oh?
Pete Solomon: Let her have it.
Carol Solomon: You're going to tell me what to do? No. I am going to ask you again. What are you doing with Violet? You're being dumb! You are being so fucking dumb, you idiot. You love Violet. I love Violet. Your father loves Violet and you're letting her go. Fuck you, you dummy.
Tom Solomon: Wow.
[laughs]
Tom Solomon: Since when do you talk like this?
Carol Solomon: It's not funny, Tom.
Tom Solomon: Okay, fine.
Carol Solomon: What are you doing?
Tom Solomon: We're not 100% right for each other so there's nothing to be said.
Carol Solomon: I've got news for you, moron. Your father and I, we're not even 90% right for each other. Not even 60, but he's the love of my life. And right now the love of your life is going to fly away and somewhere in the back of your mind you're thinking that she'll always be there if you want to try again. But you know what, she won't because she's the goddamn best. And some lucky guy is going to make it work with her no matter what instead of settling for some 23-year old airhead who probably doesn't know who the fucking Beatles are.
Pete Solomon: Had to be said.

The film may get you interested in the first 30 minutes, cause it does have some funny scenes and the regonizable faces of Kevin Hart and Mindy Kaling. As it goes on, you will lose interest in the film just like I did. Many subplots are going on and not every one can keep you interested.
It started to feel long and you will think "Please hurry up and just get married".
So it is basically like a long typical rom-com. Nothing special.
