posted by dsad on Jun 14, 2008we were in this film, well, errrr, at least we think we were. We were told we were the best looking couple on the beach that night and they seated us at The Fish Called Avalon for drinks.

posted by Nrqrmtbp on Jul 15, 2009YEAH! Finally a really good movie! The story makes sense out of the strange things our kids do and helped me to be a much more tolerant and gentle parent. It is a touching, humorous, portrait of two good people.
posted by mumsy on Aug 01, 2009It's weird but the first thing I noticed when I watch a movie is if the song chosen is addecuated (sp?) at each moment. And this movie did.
posted by Someone on Oct 10, 2009I've not laughed in a theater like that since I was a young child. We went back two weeks later and we laughed aloud even though we'd already seen the film. We're normally tough critics but this was 5 star hysterical and heartwarming. A great couples film
posted by solocke on Oct 13, 2009I totally agree with solocke! I cried and couldn't breath, this is how hard I laughed. Wow, amazing movie. I loved the scene with the promises they've made to each other.
