A pretty good anti-divorce movie. A comedy, but also a more serious social comment. Surprisingly good direction. Dumb title, though. Just a tad slow. And I don’t like flashbacks that repeatedly rip you out of the story and bring you into the less interesting present. Of course, Danny would be poor if always gave free advice like this.

What was the name of Kathleen’s divorce lawyer? He’s got a cool voice.
