Nice effects though.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Try to expect from the film what the title signifies. Then this will be a decent film to have. As we know there's no big names in the cast, as well as from behind the camera. But the whole film discloses is what people do when their marriage fails, in order to move on. That's not it, there's a message, that it ends with, especially about the children of the splitting couple. Seems it is a nice one from that angle, though overall film is not a clever enough to attract all kinds of viewers.When his wife suddenly breaks the news that she wants a divorce, the husband in a surprise tries his best to convince her not to, but nothing works. All the separation affair can be solved easily as they have a good understanding. So they try to move on, particularly the father who meets many women, including his old school and college mates. But what they are not seeing is their young daughter who is affected by all this. So where the story heads from there is told in the remaining.For the first time direction, this is not a bad film. A low budget, short film with a simple storyline. Well intended film on what it wanted to say. But nothing was told straight, everything was about not being single, that means dating and sex was the priority. Only in the last ten minutes it tries to turn around. That's where the story and the title overlaps. Really the nice performances, particularly Paul Schneider, who has been seen mostly in the supporting roles. So I think it is worth a watch if you are not forcing yourself.6/10

First of all, it's good, but not really great. Though some if it is.Melanie Lynskey and Anna Camp are great. Their roles are quite different, but both are perfectly believable as "normal on-the-surface yet a little crazy" women. Seeing them brings memories of similar women you met in your life. They're not just believable, but very entertaining.Story is good, but, would benefit from more coherence and a clearer line/thread. The idea probably was that this be more like a documentary, and life isn't clear. But, it went too far. I don't believe, as some do, that the end was any worse than the rest of it. It's consistent with the rest.The directing and production quality is lacking. It's good enough, but could have been (much) better.There are many funny moments to experience and most are not jokes or gags, but seek a more deep/meaningful humor.It's not a "feel-good" movie, it's not a provocative movie, it's not a movie that makes you think deep about something. It's a movie that makes you go "yeah, life is weird, but one can have fun with it".

As was really well discussed in the other reviews, this man Otto gets dumped suddenly by his wife of 11 years, who shares a daughter with him. Suddenly Otto is harshly returned to life as a single man, theoretically looking for a new female partner.For the most part he has not a clue as to how to proceed, and mostly due to his looks (which, for his age are well above average) he keeps finding women who are only interested in immediate sex with no elements of friendship or plain old-fashioned hanging out together for the profound yet simple pleasure of the other person's company. Then, close to the end of the movie, he encounters a woman he knew from decades ago who genuinely likes Otto to spend time with, AND have sex with (at perhaps a slower pace that is so much better in my opinion), AND is willing to take a huge leap of faith inviting Otto to just "drop everything" and join her in an indefinitely long trip to Costa Rica that long ago she planned to start, plane tickets and all, the very next day at 6:45am! This woman I can only describe as a "dream mate" she is so fine, especially relative to every other woman that Otto has known or met including his soon-to-become ex-wife. In my mind I kept routing for Otto "Do It!"..."Just do it!" Then his cellphone rings, and Otto's very *realistic* decision can be deduced. Let's just put it this way: if it was me, no force on Earth could have stopped me from going to Costa Rica!

What appears on the surface to be a quirky slice of life movie turns out to be a thoughtful and sensitive look at finding romance and adventure following the breakup of a marriage. Walter's encounters with women are sexy, bizarre and wonderfully funny while at the same time he struggles to become a successful single parent to his nine old daughter and move on with his life. Scenes featuring Social media and sitting in front of the screen as Walter dabbles in connecting online are pitch perfect, as are his efforts to be his better self, navigating the murky waters of women looking for excitement. Marvelous writing and laid back directorial style.Go see this movie!
