   Thank you for this review. I have not watched this film nor am I sure I will ever be able to do so. When entering the title onto the youtube search option, nothing seemed to appear. Still, this review was intriguing to me for the way it began and the quote: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I tried to wrap my mind around this and seemed to get into deep thoughts about various scenarios and/or possible events where it would apply. While reading the review, I wanted to understand how two individuals would find each other to be so intolerable yet, when to come to think about it, that is very common in today’s world. The divorce rate is beyond one would want to believe and couples like the one presented are becoming more and more common. This review was intriguing and I am sure the film was just the same.

   This seems like a rather interesting film. The characters themselves seem to be very intriguing Any story about divorce and combating relationships makes for a good film, the whole “cuddle party” idea is a new one, however, and I am very interested to see how that comes into play. I want to see this film, but it seems like that’d be difficult because it’s part of a Comedic Shorts program. It’s a little difficult to fully grasp what this film is about and how it’s going to turn out, but from what you said it sounds like something a lot of people would get a kick out of! I like what you said about the two leads as being “…hopelessly flawed but are also authentic and surprisingly sentimental…,” nice touch!

   Everybody loves to witness a train wreck! This movie seems intriguing and original. A great review although I am curious about people in the periphery and how they play into the situation between the miserable couple. You’re very well worded about the details of the two main characters and you have piqued my interest in a film I would otherwise never paid any attention too. I’m pretty hard to offend or shock so I look forward to seeing if this film is up to the challenge. I’m sure in the end we could probably relate to these characters in some fashion, although from the sound of it we may not want to admit it.

   Thank you for the review. I’m not the kind of person that loves this kind of films, but certainly the idea of a cuddle party to save the marriage seems interesting. By reading the review I felt that the film is based on emotions and in different problematics that makes the plot of the film. I believe the film was interesting as well as the review

   This review really brought to my attention, thank you. It sounds like a very uniquely-twisted romantic/comedy. The divorce conflicts seem so serious and the problems that trail with it, but to reverse this by a cuddle party? Sounds intriguing! Usually, when the context of “cuddle party” is used, it is as a joking, light term. To weave this into a broken relationship that includes broken vows and emotional pain would be a site to see. I can already tell Allison plays a big role in the relationship maintenance. I’m curious into where this story takes place. It is an odd and creative topic to make a movie on, but defiantly looks entertaining.

   I think you have chosen an interesting movie to review here. I like the way you ave given your opinion on the movie and not just summarized what happens within it. It is something given the time I may be interested in watching.
7. Dustin Anthony 04.22.16 / 3pm

   From this review I can already tell it is going to be an interesting movie that has to deal with problems that a lot of the United States goes through. This seems to be a new and interesting tactic to try and save a marriage though. I love the way that you described the personalities of the main characters. Although a quick Google search showed me that I would not be able to find this movie online easily, I think it may be something worth exploring later.
8. Brian D Taylor 06.16.16 / 9pm

   Wow, great response! This was a perfect length and description in my opinion because it didn’t give much away from the film at all, yet intriqued me enough to want to watch it. It seems like the couples bitterness towards each other makes for an awkward moment between the couples and everyone else. This could be very entertaining!
9. KyleSullivan 06.17.16 / 9pm

   I really enjoyed your review, so simple yet I completely get the gist of the film without knowing the entire plot. I really appreciate films like these, you explained how the main actors are so real and “hopelessly flawed”, I find that very intriguing and gives some insight to how human nature is so imperfect. I definitely want to watch this film after reading your review. I’ll admit it does sounds like a bit of a chick flick and I probably never would’ve even glanced at it had your review not caught my eye.
10. Lyndsay Allen 07.16.16 / 7pm

    After reading your film review of this movie, I am interested in seeing this movie. I get a vibe that this movie isn’t liked by a lot of people but I am interested in watching a movie that is a constant train wreck. I am super interested in seeing how a director could portray a failing marriage in two hours and how well it relates to real life. This type of movie is very interesting because in todays society the divorce rate is extremely high and a “cuddle-party’ seems like a very interesting way to fix a marriage. I liked how you kept your review straight forward and two the point. Thank you!

    I usually like to have more detail before choosing to see a film (i.e. watch the trailer, read reviews, etc.), however, I believe that for some films, the most minimal information ensures you enjoy it the most. This review was both detailed and succinct enough to capture my intrigue without making me feel as if I’ve seen the film already. Great work.
