Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

zif ofoz ........... for one short scene !Katie Aselton has given us a movie that is just one long and mostly uninteresting setup for one short scene. That one short scene with Dax Shepard and Katie Aselton is the grand blowout argument between Annie and Darren in the kitchen. At this point the story is almost over.Then we jump to the reconciliation scene in the front seat of their auto parked in the driveway. So what you just watched for about 75 minutes comes to a head in the kitchen then fizzles out in the car. Love triumphs!Then at movies end this couple start the movie all over again by bringing up the topic that almost dissolved their marriage to start with. But with one difference, they are speaking only in hypothetical terms. This is suppose to make it --- OK???A silly unfunny marriage romp in an unbelievable story!

Jamie Bonner I have seen this movie twice and liked it both times. It is a subtle movie that feels so real as we all probably have been confronted with these feelings in a long term relationship. It is a succinct little slice of reality...so much so that it really makes you think and perhaps feel a bit uneasy as you transport yourself into their reality. The acting was fantastic and very real. I was impressed by both lead actors. I only wish it lasted longer. I would classify this as a romantic drama, not a comedy. Glad to see Dad Shepard in a dramatic role. I think he shines in this arena. I would like to see more of him as his acting style is natural, which is nice to watch. Nonetheless, I think it is a must see, especially for couples.

Steve Pulaski Advertised as "A one night experiment in infidelity", The Freebie starts, progresses, and ends in such a strange independent state that when it's over you're like "what just happened?" It's a humble film that was released in September of 2010. If it hadn't been for the recently canned radio show DreX in the Morning, I probably would've never heard of this film. Good or bad I'm still debating.The film is very "silent" if that makes any sense. The movie seems to be like a little kid daring to take his first step. He never really gets off his hands and knees and finally gets on his feet. He just crawls for a while hoping to gain some notice. No scenes in The Freebie stand out, and the dialog is the only thing this film has really going for it. It's a little dry, and very independently shot. But that's the rewarding part about this. Me and some other girl could've probably made this film. That makes it easy to relate to since the characters are very comparable. So this is definitely a step in the right direction.Darren and Annie (Sheppard and Aselton) are a couple that is struggling to get the spice back into the relationship. To prove their still "cool" and "hip" both decide to give each other a night off of marriage, and have a rules free evening. Why couples are stupid enough to do that, no idea, but this means that both of them can do whatever they please as long as they go back to their marriage duty the next day. After a while, Darren makes note of Annie's awkward behavior, and her arrival at home at 6 AM. That's when they both figure out they've made a big mistake.Like I said, The Freebie is as almost as if nothing happened. Even the fights both Sheppard and Aselton have aren't as entertaining as they could be. It is amusing seeing Dax in a straight edge, serious film role after watching something as farce as Without a Paddle, but there isn't a whole lot new or amusing. The effort is here, but the execution is very lukewarm.One last random fact that I discovered is that Joshua Leonard of The Blair Witch Project actually makes an appearance in the film. I think I'd rather see him being hunted by an invisible urban legend than being the victim to a ho-hum rom com.Starring: Dax Sheppard and Katie Astelon. Directed by: Katie Astelon.

JohnLockesHatch The film stars Dax Shepard and Katie Aselton. She directed the film about a couple's decision to have a one-night stand outside the marriage.Definitely a raw topic that merited being explored. it's good that a movie could hopefully save a few broken hearts. The movie carried an intensity that definitely holds your attention. during the Q&A I learned that it was mostly done extemporaneously, and I was very impressed. Fun way to make a movie. A notch above the field in quality.Really clever film. The script was fantastic, and the characters had great chemistry. If you are currently in a relationship, this movie will give you a good laugh. Definitely worth seeing.
