Plot:
Life for the middle aged childless couple Josh (Stiller) and Cornelia (Watts) is just a routinely boring cycle. This is up until they meet a carefree young couple in Jamie (Driver) and Darby (Seyfried) who live each day to the fullest. The two couples begin to hang out together giving the older couple a sudden renewed burst of youthful vigour. This is quite exciting for Josh an independent filmmaker to whom Jamie admires but soon Josh will question whether Jamie's admiration and loyalty is genuine or fake.
Reel Talk:
This movie should have been called "While We're Still Awake" because this was one boring movie that didn't make any sense at all and if you can stay awake that would be a miracle. I was very disappointed since I believed that it would be humorous with the comedic Ben Stiller starring in it, but it was neither funny nor dramatic, it was just like the movie that Stiller's character was trying to film...WHACK! It just amazes me how some movies can even get a budget to be made when you have so many better and worthwhile scripts that get dumped in the waste basket. Well this movie would be a waste of your time and money so please don't waste either.
