Absolutely the worst movie.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I checked out this movie for one reason - the Dave Eggers credit. I don't know anything about Sam Mendes or John Krasinski, or what Maya Rudolph's done since "SNL" if anything. But I enjoy Eggers' writing and overall comic sensibility and expected something of it to translate to the screen. There is comedy here, I guess, but most of it is standard rom-com stuff, and almost all of it has been done before and better. The acting is fine, but the characters, aside from the two leads, are so thin or impossibly quirky that the film has no weight. And the main characters, out to find a home for their family, seem not to have grown up themselves, nor found out much about themselves over the course of the film except that the rest of the world is even more "f*ked up" than they are.Not a very edifying message, particularly when I was expecting much better.

As I know the reasons I disliked this movie are kinda personal, I won't give it stars. Anyways I found the trailer shown on IMDb very misleading. There's another trailer by the way I've seen on a very famous video site that is less misleading. I thought I was going to watch a movie about 2 beep-ups as they call themselves who have a baby against all odds. Actually it's a movie about 2 rather successful businesspeople who are looking for a nice-looking mansion and a free babysitter even though they could afford a payed one. Also they don't seem to have any friends and know lots of stupid people. After meeting the 3rd stupid person I stopped watching. The amount of stupidness was just too much and overdone and annoying and I didn't like seeing any more of it. Some of the things the two main characters said highly upset me, such as saying 'we're beep-ups' (btw and very off-topic it's so funny you can't write a word in a review that is like the first word shown in an IMDb trailer...) while working for I don't know insurance companies or as something like an actual successful-seeming painter, or when they say stuff like 'nobody is in love as much as we are, right?' which is incredibly arrogant to say, like 'nobody in the world is as good as we are, right?' - less words would have been better here, and, well, other stuff, which might explain the having-no-friends-knowing-so-many-stupid-people-thing. If this movie was trying to be pure sarcasm I would have thought this stuff to be okay, but actually the romance music and beautiful picturing combined with these elements truly left me confused. I've heard the movie gets better at some stage. Well I don't think I'll feel tempted to check it out.

Who are these people "loving" on this film?? Seriously?? I bet you own Juno and own 20 extra copies to give to friends as presents.The music ... oh good Lord the music. So irritating, trying so hard to be upbeat alternative. Did they steal the Juno soundtrack and try to mix it up a bit. Music was so thoroughly irritating. You're going for an "indie" feel, we get it ... NOW SHUT UP!This film just reeks of desperation, it is trying so very hard but was - for me - not easy to sit through. Desperate to seem quirky, it crosses the line into ham territory. A couple learn that they are to have a child, and for no apparent reason besides the man's parents moving away, decide they have to cross the country to find a place to raise the child. One thing to mention is that not for one moment did I sense any sort of true chemistry between this couple. They were reading their lines and doing their shtick and that's about it. John Krasinski was a bad choice; he's trying too hard to disassociate himself from the office and be 'serious' that his personality is impaired the whole time, he can't particularly act that well at the best of times but here ... Maya Rudolph is not leading lady material - though I do like her - I just don't believe the character, sorry.So they go off, visiting friends and distant relatives each more contrived and irritating than the last. One woman talks about her breasts, a man pours syrup on pancakes for what seems like an eternity. The Nazi-parenting lady. All just thrown in by the writers to be clever or add dimension? Just why the behaviour of their old friend's and acquaintances has any bearing on the way they raise their own child, and where, is lost on me.After ruling people out as potential 'surrogate family groups' and the places they inhabit, they are called to Florida for a crisis , and then ... voilà!Maya Rudolph *suddenly* remembers she had a childhood home and its nearby, and its empty and it looks like something out of a catalog for window coverings. They open the whole house up and sit on the back porch. Wow ... could it be so easy? APPARENTLY! *Baad righting* Bad, bad writing. So contrived!No wonder this was on at 1:30am on a Sunday morning. I'd have rather watched the steam-mop commercials that usually play at that time! 2/10

I really hoped for something different with this one especially since I loved Mendes's 'American Beauty', but I wasn't prepared for this.. I cannot remember the last time I saw such an unimaginative, empty, uninspired movie, really tragic. I guess some people would find this type of dialogue (I couldn't call this a comedy if my life depended on it) interesting but I'd get more laughs from watching the washing machine go through the cycle. If you find lines like: "I'll love you even if I can't find your vagina" hilarious - then this might be for you. Horrible dialogues, awful acting, and the only positive thing was the music. Rated 7.1 on IMDb - wow - amazing!
