I loved this movie. It was absolutely not the normal Will Ferrell comedy I was expecting. I love his comedies: Step Brothers is in my top 5 movies, but this wasn’t remotely like that. It was great in so many different ways.
Here’s a heads up first: don’t go expecting a comedy. I mean there were a few moments that the situation was funny, but the overall movie is basically the gritty way life ends up if you become complacent and lose yourself as an individual during a marriage.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus did such a fantastic job that she was the showstopper. I could feel everything she was going through: she delivers a performance that was so true and so dead on correct that it gave me a whole new respect for her. That lady can act.

You feel throughout this entire movie; you feel for Pete; you feel for Billie; and you feel for the kids. The movie showcased what each individual was going through and what the family was going through together as a unit. A terribly broken unit, but a family unit nonetheless.
I was riveted the entire time and the ending blew me away. What Billie ends up doing was so amazing that it gave me chills. I highly recommend this movie. More so to those of us over 40. It’ll really hit home with that age group. I’m not sure that the 30 and younger crowd have really started dealing with these issues yet, so it’s probably not for them.
Grade: A+
About The Peetimes: I only picked 1 Peetime since the run time is so short. Luckily, I found a great one that misses the amazing parts that make this movie really shine.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Must have app if you love the movies
If you’re like me and enjoy a 92oz soda as part of the movie experience, you’ll be thankful for this app telling you the best times to go for a quick break. Whether that’s to refill your soda or recycle it.
Possibly an even better feature is the info on if the movie has after credits scenes. There’s nothing worse than sitting there reading about who the key grip was, then finding out that’s all you did. I blame Marvel for the stupid trend.
Seriously, I see a dozen movies a month and use this app every single time. Worth every Penny of the infinity coin thing I bought.
Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.
