Good movie

Not your typically story line. This is a must see for all couples and especially married couples. I liked the fact that it gave you another perspective on how some marriages get in trouble. This was not the typically man bashing movie. We need more movies that show several different experiences in relationships instead of the same ole he cheated or he abused her... My husband also thought this was not the typically couples movie so I think men and women would like this one. Kevin H. was also very funny in this movie. I was glad to see Morris C. in a movie without Gabby. This movie didn't get the credit it deserved by most papers.
