Stuck In Love (2012) 7/10

Starring : Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly, Lily Collins, Nat Wolff, Logan Lerman, Kristen Bell
Director : Josh Boone
Running Time : 97 mins

Famous author Bill Borgens (Kinnear) is still in love with his ex-wife Erica (Connelly), and his choices concerning love have had a definite impact on his promiscuous daughter, Samantha (Collins), and his introverted son Rusty (Wolff), both of whom have problematic relationships with the opposite sex.

This is one of those drama movies that feels like it should be a comedy, mainly because it has Greg Kinnear in the lead role. There are funny moments, but on the whole it is a dour look at how love can blind people to what is really going on in their lives, as well as how it can such a grip on the behaviours and actions of people. Basically, in this movie, what can go wrong will go wrong, and the majority of the characters have a terrible time of things for the most part until, miraculously, things turn around for them at the end.
