Sharon: Jeff, what do you do in the basement? You're not cleaning it. Jeff: You really want to know? You didn't like it last time we had this conversation. Sharon: Okay no, you're right, I don't.

This one really came together at the end. I wasnt so sure the first half of the movie-almost turned it off. Im glad I didnt.
Sometimes I wonder how some scripts get the green light to be made into a movie. This is a lightweight plot with little humor and a shamelessly manipulative, tug-at-your-heartstrings ending. Who in the film industry actually thought this was good enough to finance and produce? Are there really no good scripts being written?
Beautiful movie. Absolutely loved it. :)
The main character, Jeff, is looking for meaning in his life as he follows life's "signs" in that endeavor. Jeff's life has been a bust but in this movie the viewer is taken on an interesting and funny journey. Seemingly improbable circumstances all come together to provide some meaning and happiness to Jeff and his family.
Great movie. I wasn't expecting a lot out of this movie but I was pleasantly suprised. Very enjoyable from beginning to end.
LOVED LOVED LOVED this one! Love the dream they share: "Today!" We get so caught up on our worlds that we forget and we judge. Want to buy this movie and force all my friends to watch it. :)
This is an extraordinary film. The story is amazing and Jason Segel is outstanding.
Enjoyed this movie more than some but wouldn't call it great.
Here's a movie that delivers exactly what it promises on the packaging. Not only that but it's an American movie in which the pursuit of happiness isn't all about the pursuit of money and status. Susan Sarandon tends to choose parts that, no matter how entertaining, have some substance. Good performances all around in a playful story about the human need to feel relevant, that at the same time spoofs the "everything happens for a reason" notion.
