Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

jenrave Celeste & Jesse begins in a heartwarming montage of a sweet loving couple, and though small details betray the true state of the situation between them, the moment when their status as separated is revealed is still shocking enough to throw you into a spiral of anger. It is so rare to find a true friend, someone who completely on board with your crazy little jokes and thoughts, someone who is fun to goof around with and also has a big warm heart full of love for you, it is a golden ticket, nothing in the world should be able to take it away from you, unless of course, you can't see it while you have it.It is not even clear from the beginning who is to blame for the obvious crime against true love, both Celeste and Jesse seem genuinely in love with each other and yet absolutely comfortable with their new relationship status, but soon it becomes clear that Jesse is the one being dragged behind with Celeste keeping herself cozy with him by her side, while being sure that she needs someone better.And then, of course, Jesse finds a way to move on. But it is neither a happy nor a successful separation, Jesse is thrown into the extreme commitment of parenthood, with a woman who though interesting to him, by his own words "is not Celeste". Throughout the film, Jesse is torn between his wish to move on with his life, and the obvious fact that Celeste is his lifelong love and friend. Celeste, on her end, realizes the depth of her mistake, and how far beyond repair the situation went.The film ends with a sort of reconciliation, Jesse and Celeste cannot be away from each other and try to make the friendship thing work, and Celeste feels ready to move on herself. But the truth is, even at the very end of the film, this couple shows such a strong longing for each other that it is absolutely heartbreaking. Both will move on with their lives, and perhaps their friendship will cool down as they learn to love and cherish the quirks and charms of another person, but something truly unique and incredible was lost, something that can never be mended. For some, the film's ending can seem bitter-sweet, to me it was very heavy on the bitter.It is a cautionary tale. At a time when new models of new things pop left and right and everything moves forward in excruciating pace, patience runs thin and it is easy to forget that relationship is about hard work and constant care, and that love is nothing to be taken for granted.

zee This film did nothing for me, and the 90 minutes I spent with it felt like twice that time.Part of the problem for me, possibly, was I just watched Liberal Arts and Your Sister's Sister, which were much better written, had more wit, and had less dull traditional views and a few minor insights to impart.Part of the problem is I just don't get the appeal of Jesse. He's not good-looking. He's a loser. He has no paycheck. He's acting like he's 18 but he's in his 30's. He's not particularly bright. Unless this guy has amazing hidden sexual talents (though these were never hinted at, and there were opportunities to do so), I just don't get the appeal. That more than one woman (all lovely to look at) seems interested in him shocks me. Zero women should be interested in him. I'm used to such inexplicably attractive loser male characters being written by male writers, but it's a shock to see women writing this too.Initially Celeste seems the better bet, but she ends up being irritating too, and what the heck is her job supposed to be? Is that a real job? Maybe the writers need to hang out somewhere other than Hollywood to get a sense of how real people earn their money.It's a movie about two people I'd never date, never be friends with, would cross the street to avoid (the masturbation of tiny phallic object isn't even sophomoric. It's junior high humor and they do it REPEATEDLY. Save me.) The only character who has any appeal is the pop star character. I liked how she was written to have hidden depths. The only scene I found at all funny was the bad first date with the photographer. And the soundtrack irritated me.And in the end, this movie said nothing new about relationships. Yeah, we get stuck with wrong people and it's hard to leave a marriage, but this shouldn't be news to anyone over the age of 18.Unlikeable characters doing very little, slowly, to irksome music. Not a good way to spend your precious, finite time.

SnoopyStyle Rashida Jones & Andy Samberg are Celeste & Jesse. They are best friends who are getting divorced, except they want to stay friend.Ari Graynor & Eric Christian Olsen are their best friends Beth & Tucker who are getting married. They can't understand Celeste & Jesse's relationship. "It's weird." For most of this movie, everybody is annoying. Celeste is a know-it-all. Jesse is a slacker loser. The people they meet are all douche-bags and drug dealers, both friends & strangers. It is a whole hour of HELL watching this movie full of annoying self obsessed people.Emma Roberts is a pop princess Riley client of Celeste. At the beginning, she is yet another annoying character in the movie. However her character turns it around. She calls Celeste on her arrogance, "Contempt prior to investigation". This breaks Celeste down to her core, and she spirals down. Until Riley comes to her rescue again, this time commiserating over failed relationships.Riley is truly the big emotional catalyst. Only she needed to save this movie earlier. The "Contempt..." line comes 1 hour into the movie. Before that, it was stuck in emotional neutral. That's way too long.

sarah cooper this movie has wonderful actors whom I respect greatly and was very realistic in the ways that it portrays life and the film making was sick. however this is not a romantic comedy and it might destroy your soul depending how fragile your soul is due to whatever is going on in your life. just watch lonely island if you want some happiness. just roll solo dude, be carefolo of this here moving picture. this thing is making me type more lines. blah blah blah. this is the tale of captain jack sparrow. actually today might be a great day. dude i just had sex dude. it felt great. if you'd like i'd spell it out but i don't feel like. oh, i have this like sick grave plot right off the highway. but like i just wanted to give you all some pretty legit advice, just in case you want to be a cool kid. cool guys don't look at explosions.
