I did a real hasty check to see if there was already a post started on this movie, didn't see one.
Two best friends. One is depressed from a divorce of two years ago, still in love with his wife. Frustrated writer who is waiting on his book to get published. The other, is getting married in a weeks time. Together, they decide to take a vacation so he can get his last days of freedom in. They drive down to another city. They taste different wine, meet woman, get themselves into a lot of trouble.
Anyway, me and my boyfriend went and saw this this afternoon. I really, really enjoyed it. First of all it was directed by one of my favorite directors, Alexander Payne (he also did Election). This movie had great diaglouge. I love movies with funny and witty dialouge. To me that is like the most important aspect. Maybe its because I want to write scripts someday as well.
The ending, abrupt as it was, was actually incredibely appropriate (won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen this movie yet). You don't know exactly what will happen, but in a way it was wise for the director to let the audience picture what will happen.
Did anyone else see this movie, and what did you think of it?
