A rom-com that tries to be different

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2015)

This is a rom-com that tries to be a little different: so we have no less than seven relationships going on here; they involve different-aged characters from middle-aged down to juvenile; and most of them do not work out.
Dan Fogelman - who has previously concentrated on screenplays for animated movies - has produced a decent script and his words are delivered by an attractive cast: Steve Carell and Julianne Moore playing a married couple who have broken up, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as young people trying to get it together, and Kevin Bacon and Marisa Tomei with smaller parts.
It doesn't always work and is sometimes silly or schmaltzy, but it has heart.
