I cannot understand how this got 63% on RT. One of the most rubbish films I've had to sit through (my other half was enjoying it). The script was stilted and the whole film was just DULL and boring. Seriously - they whinged about how they can't get married but they really want to get married so just GO TO VEGAS and do it, stop putting it off. I love Emily Blunt in most things but this was just dire. Never again. My crochet kept me from losing my sanity for the duration.
Violet and Tom get engaged and start to plan their perfect marriage. Then Violet gets her dream university placement to become a psychology professor at Michigan university and the couple up sticks and move out there from San Francisco, putting their wedding on hold.
Tom at first hides his unhappiness with Michigan because he knows how much academia means to his fiance. Violet gets above her station, paying too much attention to her new intelligentsia colleagues and putting too much faith in the hypothesis of her psychology experiments. These problems then snowball.
Jason Segal and Emily Blunt are great as the engaged couple, well supported by Chris Pratt and Alison Brie.
A fantastic script, penned jointly by Jason segal, offers an insightful look into relationships, whilst simultaneously being very funny.
