Looks like Shue dropped out/got dropped. Just saw a preview. Looks like it might be good.

Yeah, she went and got herself pregnant again. I saw the previews too, it looks very strange.

why this phrase irritates me so much, I have no clue. Well, I take that back. I know exactly why it bothers me, but 17 & 1/2 years later, I should be able to let it go...

I was just joking. I've had a huge crush on her since I was a kid, so I'm a little jealous of her husband.

I shouldn't be so sensitive I was a senior when I had my oldest, and this obnoxious jerk saw me one day and said, "That was real smart--she went & got herself pregnant"...which, given the circumstances of me being pregnant, was probably the most ignorant, calloused thing he could have said. I do need to let it go..

I went to see this last night. Jim Carrey was outstanding. He shocked me in Eternal Sunshine, and now he has moved up to Edward Norton range on my list of favorite actors. I think he’s one of the few actors that can play any type of role well.

The tone of this movie was perfect. A little edgy and dark, but not over the top. Depending on your mood, there is also a little humor mixed in throughout.

I’ll probably see this again when it comes out on DVD. The theater was packed so we had to sit in the 3rd row. I would really like to sit back and enjoy the cinematography.

I hate having to sit that far back.

Awesome. I was waiting for someone here to review it. Looks like I'll head to the theater sometime during the day next week.

i like the way this movie trails - but the reviews have been brutal - i'm not a big review guy, but they are usually a bit more accurate on dramas than comedies - although it's encouraging to hear some positive on it as well
