The first part of the film shows us the lusty beginnings for this couple, directed with a fairly heavy hand by Jake Kasden ("Bad Teacher"). Their early life together is lots of fun and establishes their characters. We always want someone to root for and this is a very likable couple. I found the double takes and reaction shots a bit overdone, although the actors gave this project everything (and I mean EVERYthing) they had.
Here is part of the cast:
- Cameron Diaz ("The Other Woman") Annie is a generous, loving (and very flexible!) woman who adores her family. She may have a buyer for her blog, which would set her up with a welcome income. This actress will cherish this film long after her shelf life expires; she looks terrific!
- Jason Segel ("This is 40") Jay is successful, stable and a bit over- domesticated. When he discovers that their home-made tape may be in "The Cloud" he has to admit not only does he not under- stand it, NO ONE understands it! BTW, I have never seen this guy look so appealing.
- Rob Lowe ("Parks and Recreation") Hank is a charming businessman interested in expanding Annie's readership for his wholesome, family-oriented publication (but check out what he has in his bedside table).
- Rob Corddry ("In a World") Robby may be a good friend, but he and his wife Tess (Ellie Kemper) would really like a peek at that video.
