The Age of Commercialism

I'll tell you why so serious

Beautiful, moving film.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I tripped across this on cable one morning when I was home sick. It is a lovely quiet movie done in a Woody Allen style. The dialogue is smart and funny. You can't help but fall in love with these characters. Taking place in the 90s it reminds us of time when we didn't have to worry about much but each other. If you're not a patience listener-observer you'll miss a lot of the subtleties of this film. Some folks may not or appreciate or understand the many cultural and political references from '90s, but they are well placed and hilarious. A nice reminder of how women have managed to take control of their own lives, relationships and careers, finally at the end of a century.It's a rare thing to make Miami seem appealing, but this film suggests to us, there are perfectly normal people managing the trials of relationships and families at made me laugh and long for the simpler struggles of life.

If I had gone by the reviews I've seen of this movie, I never would've watched it, and that would've been my incredible lost. This movie is fun, witty and amusing in a way that kept me entertained the whole way through.

This comedy follows the relationships of a husband and wife, their 3 adult children, and their romantic partners. The couples' relationships cover a spectrum of durations, from the one couple just beginning to plan a marriage, one married for less than 6 months. one with a young child and another on the way, and the long-time married. Only about half of marriages last, and a good portion of the rest suffer from infidelities, neglect, boredom, etc. These are the issues considered by the unwed daughter, played by Sara Jessica Parker. After watching the movie I went to IMDB to see if Woody Allen wrote or directed it. It seemed very much like one of his. SJP plays the Woody Allen character, very creditably.See it from the beginning; this is not one to pick up in the middle!

This is a decent movie but WOW is it derivative, SJ Parker is playing basically a female Alvie Singer from Annie Hall, especially the monologue at the end is almost a word for word reworking of the one at the end of "Annie," substituting "Miami" for "needing the eggs."This character is also a bit similar to Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City, this may be how she got that job...
