Though sexually compatible, their disparate family backgrounds and the religious chasm between them inform their selfishness, their naiveté and their destiny.

    At first I thought this movie was just an excuse to show lots of nudity. As it progressed it became a pretty interesting depiction of a couple who are happy and get married ignoring things that later in their marriage become a problem, eventually leading to a divorce. That's re...( read more)ally the whole plot, and it's more of an exploration of the event than anything else.

    Interesting film. I may even go so far as to call it a perfect film about romance.

    I thought that blaming the man for how the relationship went was pathetic. But at least this movie had equal nudity, ha-ha.

    Long and uneven, but a strong movie overall. Oh, and I didn't realize Justin Kirk had such a large penis, lol.

    Reviewing this during my second viewing of a poignant, truthful film. There are many things I like about this film. I like that its not your typical boy meets girl, fall in love, whirlwind romance. The language of this film is not sugarcoated either. Some of my favorite scenes ar...( read more)e those that take place in the bedroom because of the special conversations the couple have.
    Stuart (Justin Kirk) often comes off as a complete prick. He is so frank and crass with what he says to Nicole (Julianne Nicholson) but its only because he truly loves her and that is the only way to get it through to her. She often feels undeserving of his love and money. In this great scene at her apartment, he explains to her that 'giving to those he loves gives him the greatest pleasure'. He goes on to say that "Time is irreplaceable but you can always make more money".
    Great film :)

    A fair movie about the relationship and eventual marriage of two very different people. This is not romantic comedy. It's a very inter-personal blabbety-blab: "talk to me" - "you never talk to me" - "don't talk to me!!" kind of a movie. I don't mean to diminish however becaus...( read more)e I do give much credit to both the acting and the writing here. However? I JUST didn't like the characters very much - especially her. It's painful to watch at times - like watching a sinking ship. The lesson in this is know yourself well FIRST before choosing a person to share your life with; and? Be sure they know themselves well too.

    Outstanding acting in this tale of romance and marriage and ... Two basically nice people start with a blind date. This movie is verbal - no special effects or swords or aliens. It's about what people say and don't say to each other, how their fears linger into present behavior,...( read more) and how they treat each other. Can't understand why I'm the first on Flixter to give it more than three stars.

    A real and raw independent film. The characters are the same as in Puccni for Beginners, but switch roles. It really takes into the movie and makes you feel their emotions as real and painful as it can be.

    haven't seen it but looks good

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

A series of scenes from a love affair whose insightfulness slightly outweighs its sluggishness. full review
