Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tobias Menzel play a happily married couple…until she overhears him dissing her new book. And the awkward comedy begins. Louis-Dreyfus is in top neurotic/awkward form with Michaela Watkins providing ideal sister vibes and Jeannie Berlin hilariously stealing every scene she’s in. Writer/director Nicole Holofcener has penned an amusing script with sharp interactions and her keen observations that much of the humor. While there are serious discussions of love and honesty, it’s a special delight to see a charming adult comedy like this back in the cinema. 
(3.5 / 5)
