British rom-com from the writer of Borat (making his directorial debut) looking at the rocky first year of marriage for a pair of newlyweds. Stars Stephen Merchant, Minnie Driver, Rose Byrne and Anna Faris.
Since they met at a party, ambitious high-flyer Nat (Byrne) and struggling novelist Josh (Rafe Spall) have been deliriously happy despite their differences. Impulsively getting hitched after only a few months together, their family, friends and even the minister who marries them aren't convinced that they can last. When the reality of married life begins to wither their relationship, Josh's ex-girlfriend, Chloe (Faris), and Nat's handsome American client Guy (Simon Baker), offer attractive alternatives as their first anniversary approaches...

Variety
Variety"Mazer's juvenile sense of humour simply isn't strong enough to give the film any balls."

Urban Cinefile
Urban Cinefile"As you’d expect from the man who helped Sacha Baron Cohen concoct naked-wrestling gags, it’s a grimly funny affair."
—
Total Film
Total Film"Dan Mazer's film about a couple who got married too quickly is both funny and plausible, if slightly constricted by its romcom template."

The Guardian
The Guardian"An above-average number of laugh-out-loud set-pieces compensate for the resulting wobbly narrative."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"The jokes are strong and delivered by a very talented cast, but the heart isn't there. It's easy to laugh, but hard to care."
