The dialog from the coming of age parody " Not another teen movie" flowed better than this film. Lee Rose (writer. director) your portrayal of men in this movie is laughable. The Brad character is and insult to two dimensional characters. The ex-husband was a lawyer, they tend to be type-A personalities. Your Jack character would make Richard Simmons look manly. Kate was unlikable from the start of the film. The way she treated her son would fit well into a movie about children that kill their parents. The daughter Sam, played by--at the time 17 year old Allison Pill, wouldn't refer to being at a friends house as a "Play Date." ---Yes, you actually wrote that into the film. The discussions / romantic scenes between Mac and Kate seemed forced. The only scenes that were believable involved Mac and her dog Bob. They actually seems to care for one another, unlike every other character in this film. I understand that movies have to do a great deal in a short amount of time but, Lee Rose you failed. I will give you credit for not going full Mel Gibson. He usually writes, directs, produces and stars in his films.
