Excruciatingly cute

Lots of prat-fall laughs - tedious hours of Meryl being so amused at everything. Lives alone in a 15M $ house and building an addition - why? The dream kitchen she already has isn't good enough? An emporium-sized bakery,dozens of employees, an Olympic pool, a vegetable garden to feed a village (unseen dozens of undocumented workers taking care of her immaculate hotel-size grounds) and three vacuous children - this gal is one spoiled, mindless idiot. Which she proceeds to prove when she gets smashing drunk and sleeps with her ex and to even out the score, gets smashing stoned and seduces the architect. A slap in the face to all real women.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Whadda Character

When I saw this film the audience laughed throughout. The friend I went with was mumbled that Matt Damon's character was a jerk and a dummy but I thought she was missing the point. The point being - he was mentally ill. This was an amazing story of a genius whose mind operated a mile-a-minute and kept hundreds of balls in the air at the same time. Once he started to confuse even himself he submitted to the inevitable. Until that point it was a rolicking journey. The stand-out was Damon's acting. The supporting cast was great. It was overall a fun couple of hours. I walked out wanting to know more about the actual guy and will now seek out his book. Go and enjoy it - not pick it apart!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
