to begin with the positive and i be quite willing to concede that the performance in this movie ( by dennis quaid and andie mcdowell and greg kinnear and toni collette ) be pretty convince . unfortunately and good performance just do not make up for what i think be an unpleasant and uninteresting movie about marital breakup and mid life crisis and and how they affect the relationship between friend catch in the middle . kudos for the fact that the sympathetic character in the movie ( play by quaid and mcdowell ) be actually suggest that marriage problem need to be fight through and marriage hold on to rather than throw away and but still and frankly and i think this thing would never end and and the end and when it finally do arrive and be entirely forgettable . a waste of time in my opinion . negative .
