Storyline:Florence and Vincent Leroy are successful in business, marriage and children. Today, it’s their divorce they want to succeed in. But when they both receive the promotion they’ve always dreamed of, their life together turns into a nightmare.User review:Not as in “not there” or shut off, but as in not your usual simple style. Some would call it inconsistent or lacking focus and flow. Also some might miss this going completely the slapstick route. But the rhythm this sets for itself does work. Set in the real world, with two people still sort of loving each other going off the rails, because of what society expects/pressures people into.So the basis is fundamental and the movie has something to say. That it does with some over the top situations is either funny or boring to some. I still think it does a good job staying on the right side of funny. Which is a great attribute to the actors as well. They have to sell the being in love, but still fighting against each other. The chemistry is phenomenal.
