An very humorous look at relationship dynamics at two very different stages of a relationship

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2007)

Obviously inspired at least in part by the hit Indian comedy Salaam Namaste, but taken to the limits of bad taste that only an American comedy can. This is better-acted and has a better portrayal of the dynamics of a married couple in crisis and some genuinely funny moments. Rather than just focus on the challenges faced in the relationship between Alison and Ben, it also gives a well-written insight into the interplay between individuals in a relationship that has matured, but the individuals within it are not fulfilled. A couple of the dialogues between Debbie and Pete are absolutely classic. Ben's friends provided some additional comic relief and its good to see that the likes of James Franco haven't forgotten their roots. However, I'm not so sure that it merits being listed in the top 250 movies of all time though.
