If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This movie is about fake love ... and how you could deceive yourself by love while your actual feeling us love .... And how the passion could be lost in a long term relationship.She had an ordinary life with her husband ... nothing new .... and she met with this handsome man with even a strange job who lived beside her. First she met with him to put something new in her life and put some adventures in her ordinary life.. but step by step her adventure turned into passion and then lust... ( look to the strange and inappropriate request in the restaurant). Of course this helped by the cold emotion of her husband.And he also felt with lust to her ..look to what happened ..when she ran from her husband to his lap .. he sinked first in the juice of pleasure and lust ... but when they felt that the lust was going away.... she brought a woman ... and he brought a man .... to spice things up.... but at the end they reached to the same life .... monotonous ordinary life... even she went to the swing alone...You feel her regret in the movie .. and to lesser extent his regret. Especially when she came back to her first husband and met again with his family... she missed him and the company of his family . And to be a part of his achievements and to find he was working for previously their dreams.Good casting ... with so.e questions about Seth Rogan Michelle Williams was brilliant

I'm giving this movie a 6 because although I found it good and I appreciated the concept, the movie lacked in a few areas.I wish this movie would have touched more on Margot and Lou's marriage. Yes I understand they hit a tough spot in their relationship, but that wasn't really elaborated on. The only interaction we saw between Margot and Lou was how they playfully annoyed each other, but we never really got to see who they were as a couple.I enjoyed the scenes between Margot and Daniel, it really captured the lust between the two. Although it didn't really show them falling in love, it did show how instant attractions happen. I also enjoyed the scenes of once she got with Daniel, they had multiple threesomes. To me this was showing the 'excitement' that came with getting with Daniel and the lust that was surrounding that relationship. Once the lust faded, she was right back in the same spot as she once was with her ex husband Lou right before she left him.The film was good, I get the concept, to me this film can be interpreted in a few different ways. I interpreted as, although you may feel like you are in a 'tough' spot in your relationship that doesn't mean you should be so quick to dismiss your partner and succumb to temptation.

Disappointing.Had real potential as a relationship drama, but is clumsily told, and full of pretentiousness. Doesn't fall apart completely - just when you think there is no hope for it, the movie has something semi- profound to say. Sadly, these moments are few and far between.Good cast wasted. Michelle Williams' dramatic skills are evident in the first half of the movie but from a point, pretty much the same point as when the movie turns to sh*t, her performance becomes one of crying spells and distant stares. Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman are great comedic actors but they hardly have a funny line between them. Rogen seemed out of his depth, and clumsy, in a romantic/dramatic role.

Okay, so maybe a 1 seems a little harsh, but I don't even f--king care because of how much this movie just annoyed the s--t out of me. I can't even really place where the hate I feel for this film comes from. I can't get over how the title had NOTHING to do with the movie, besides the fact she used the song by the same name in the actual movie, which bothered me terribly because the SONG had nothing to do with what happened ever. Uh, alright then? Take This Waltz by Leonard Cohen is a masterpiece of a song that had no business being in this film. I thought the movie was going to be about dancing, for Christ's sake. I wish someone else would actually use the song in a beautiful way, the way it deserves, and in a way that is relevant and makes sense. What a pointless film, seriously.
