rogerdarlington Here New York singleton Maggie is played by Greta Gerwig, an actress who can be funny and serious, pretty and plain, switching from one to the other in seconds. Her original plan is to have a baby through a sperm donor, although later in the movie she conceives (sorry for the pun) another plan involving her husband, self-absorbed academic John (Ethan Hawke in a classic verbose role), and his ex-wife, the Danish ambitious academic Georgette (the ever-able Juliette Moore). The moral of the story is that our plans often don't work out as we expect and, even when they do, it might not actually be because of us.I think this is an under-rated movie with interesting characters and real charm. There are no action sequences or dramatic conflicts, but it is quietly engaging and insightful. Rebecaa Miller wrote and directed it from the novel by Karen Rinaldi and the most intriguing relationship is between Maggie and Georgette, so some will be tempted to dismiss it as a woman's film, but I recommend it to anyone who wants something a bit more lifelike and thoughtful compared to the more traditional rom-com.

leonblackwood Review: Although I knew this was going to be a chick flick, I was expecting it be witty, especially after seeing Bill Hader and Maya Rudolph in the cast but I did get a bit bored with the plot, because it seemed to be going round in circles. The movie is mainly about Maggie (Greta Gerwig), who has a terrible track record of relationships, and really wants to have a baby. After failing to go down the surrogate route, she finally falls for John Harding (Ethan Hawke), who is married to Georgette (Julianne Moore), with 3 kids. When John eventually leaves Georgette for Maggie, they have a little girl together but while he is struggling with his novel, Maggie starts to sense cracks in there relationship. She tries her best to make there relationship work but she becomes a glorified babysitter for all of the kids, which puts a strain on her career. She also can tell that John is unhappy with there marriage, so she puts together a plan to make John fall back in love with Georgette, as she feels guilty for taking him from his ex-wife. Strange but true! Julianne Moore and Ethan Hawke put in there usually top performance and Greta Gerwig was perfect for the leading role but there wasn't enough material to make the movie interesting. There was a few touching moments, like when Maggie was having a bath with her young girl but I still struggled to stay awake through the whole movie. Anyway, although the outcome was pretty predictable, it's still an average watch with some decent performances. Average!Round-Up: This movie was directed by Rebecca Miller, 54, who also brought you Angela in 1995, Personal Velocity: Three Portraits, The Ballad of Jack and Rose, and the Private Lives of Pippa Lee starring Robin Wright and Winona Ryder. She did put together quite a decent cast for this project, so I can honestly can say that the fault wasn't with the performances. I mainly had a problem with the script, which lacked originality and decent humour. I have seen worse in this genre but I still got bored after a while.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $4.9millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their comedy/romance/dramas, starring Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, Julianne Moore, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph and Wallace Shawn. 3/10

Reno Rangan Kind of a refreshing romance-drama on the cheating/divorce theme. Written and directed by Rebecca Miller. A great comeback after the six years of gap, but not a masterstroke. The casting was very impressive, particularly it was Greta Gerwig's typical film. I mean, if you enjoy watching her films, then you would do the same for it. On the other hand, her signature performance kind of bored to me. I mean all her film character was kind of easy-go-lucky soft-touch and comedic girl, I want her to try the different roles and genres. Maybe that's the reason many people had turned it down. Ethan Hawke and Julianne Moore were in the decent supporting roles, but everybody shared enough screen to call its their film too and delivered some good lines.I had a good time with it, because it was better than I anticipated. The story was good and its entire narration they have developed it finely. Unfortunately, it is an R film, otherwise it could have been a film for all. Kind of it reminds us the Woody Allen's style of presentation. Because you know even in the tough times for film characters, they calm and coolly deals it. So that makes it is a stress free film, especially if you just had a bad day, it might help you cool down. But don't expect the loud laughs in the comedy parts, then you should not opt it.The overall film is worth a watch, but don't believe those who are saying it is too bad. It might be bad for them, though definitely not bad to bash it top to bottom. The critics thumbed it up, and if you welcome decent films, then go for it and decide yourself. The film has lots of good qualities, but this could be the last film of Greta I'll be watching if she does not appear in a distinct role in her next, because like I said I already bored of her in the same old. Finally, I feel I want to suggest it, but not to everybody, particularly not the youngster, the grown ups might like it better.7/10

zif ofoz Greta Gerwig as "Maggie" (an independent woman) bakes up a plan to become a single mother and in the process 'the plan' works but then backfires and puts her into a situation 'the plan' did not include - marriage.Gerwig gives a charming performance as Maggie steering a course through a relationship with a overly analytical writer once divorced husband, raising her three year old child, working her job as an instructor in a local college, and realizing her husband is still in love with his first wife! Maggie is in a pickle so she devises another plan!The setting is the New York City intellectual society living in row houses and meeting in cafe's to socialize. The cast includes Bill Hader, Ethan Hawke, Maya Rudolph, Julianne Moore, Wallace Shawn. This is a simple 'slice of life' type story about modern people looking for and finding happiness and direction in their life. It's probably a film more appreciated by a viewer that likes a romantic flavor in a story that looks into the feelings and emotion in the human spirit.This is a cheerful light story that includes just a touch of sorrow mixed into a picture of mostly happy people getting on with life. And don't forget the pickles!
