Did anyone believe Laurie loved Jo? Or that Amy loved Laurie? At times I felt as though the script was very rushed, and they were just speaking their memorized lines. The 1994 version had it all (I really felt the connection between the family and the romantic relationships), and perhaps the world didn't need another remake. I have never left a review on IMDB, but I had to for this movie as I do not agree with the overall high rating.

If you are a Curb Your Enthusiasm fan as I am, you will like this movie. I absolutely love Larry David (hilarious) and Jon Hamm (a feast for your eyes) - and this was definitely an interesting match up. It is nice to see Jon Hamm outside of Mad Men, and Larry David in movies. I knew this was a must-see. There are many star surprises, including Kate Hudson, Michael Keaton, Eva Mendes, and J.B. Smoove. I found the Larry David's character to be very "Curb Your Enthusiasm" - which I find real, honest, and relateable. Perhaps the story line is a bit goofy at times; however, I laughed over and over. If you're looking for a light-hearted laugh fest (and you're a Larry David and Jon Hamm fan)... this is the movie to see!
