The storyline was quite predictable, but there were a couple of laugh-out-loud moments to make up for it.

It's an ok movie. I liked that it showed a married couple who love each other and choose to stick it out and support each other and work through their problems, while staying faithful to each other. But it relies a lot on lowest common denominator ... (read more)
