Is it Just Me? (warning: ending mentioned)

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2004)

Both of the main characters - Bob (Murray) and Charlotte (Johannson) - were unfaithful to their respective spouses, Bob doubly so. In fact, not only was Bob unfaithful to his wife, he was "unfaithful" to Charlotte. What the film really seemed to be about was the "perfect storm" of a mid-life crisis on Bob's part combined with some barely-post-teenage angst on the part of Charlotte. Having said that, I could almost have gone for it had the relationship remained platonic. At least the film had a happy ending in terms of both characters accepting reality and moving on with their lives. While I enjoyed this film as a character-driven story, ultimately I couldn't empathize with either of the main characters.
