Strong beginning
12 March 2016
Growing up never felt so exhausting like it is depicted in this. It still feels fresh and has a lot of neat ideas. At least at the beginning, when we get behind what the main characters are feeling. Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts are amazing in their depiction of a couple with more than just one issue, even if they're not admitting to any of them. There's things you have to accept (like your body getting older and weaker for example, even if the mind doesn't see it that way) and others you have to learn to live with.

But the movie is not contempt to just deal with those issues, but also a relationship with a younger couple. Something that opens up a new box of problems, but also a new perspective if you will. The ending is a bit messy, but the actors are saving it from itself (the script isn't that bad either)
