Absolutely the worst movie.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Bill is you standard dude - a job he hates and a wife who is a cheating brat who is reliant on her daddy. She ain't gonna change buddy! Bill remains dignified through and Aaron Eckhart does a good job in getting us to sympathize with his character and root for him to find happiness. I gave it 6/10 because of his chemistry with the actor who plays the young cheeky lad. Their banter is enjoyable to watch and also quite refreshing. In my opinion that's the best thing about the film - their friendship. They help each other grow in different ways and learn things about life. It's quite a funny film without having to rely on cheap and crass humour - it succeeds in being funny on it's own wit and charm. The casting is excellent and it's definitely worth a watch for the array of talented actors/actresses therein. All in all it is an enjoyable, charming little movie, with a few drawbacks (we wish he would be more mad at his wife!!!) but give it a chance - you will enjoy it for the cast and the chemistry between characters.

I found myself inadvertently drawn into this film while flicking through T.V. channels. Aaron Eckhart plays the tile lead "Bill", and he is obviously going through some kind of middle aged crisis right from the get-go. His wife Jess, played by the gorgeous Elizabeth Banks, is having an affair with local T.V. journalist and all-round narcissistic asshole Chip Johnson, played by Todd Louiso. In the midst of this depressing scenario, Bill finds himself suddenly committed to mentoring a 15 year old boy, played brilliantly by Logan Lerman at his former prep school. Added to this there is Sales Assistant Lucy, played charmingly by the delightful Jessica Alba. The latter 2 play a key role in the transformation of a steadily faltering character, in Bill. With lots of potential here the script doesn't quite follow suit as the film seems to end too quickly and we have some unresolved relationships which end up in having us guess in an unsatisfied fashion.

is this a male in marriage midlife crisis movie?is this a slapstick comedy?is this a teen sex flick?is this a tween fantasy movie?i do not know.but i do know it ain't funny because it's trying to be funny and comes across as just stupid. the story rambles on putting 'bill' in one goofy situation after another and then has a serious finish.not much else to be said about this attempt at comedy/drama/sex/slapstick/idiosyncrasy bomb of a film.forget it!

Aaron Eckhart is Bill, a guy with some problems who is lost within a life the chose him rather than him choosing it for himself. He's tired of not doing what he wishes to do. He wants change and finally gets around to it in this film.With Jessica Alba & Elizabeth Banks, this is a pleasant film with some light hearted moments. Trouble is is never rises much above a certain level which is a middle of the road effort by the film makers. No scenes are memorable enough to really latch on to the viewer in this one.We are all left with a feel good ending where meeting Bill and seeing that he is finally headed in the direction he wants to go is OK. There is nothing in the story that makes you wish to go any more into it. At least the film is pretty short as length would not help this.This movie is OK but nothing to write home about.
