Was this supposed to be funny? I don’t know, but subjectively the 84 minutes were as long as if I was watching the 8-hour long Andy Warhol’s movie, where he fell on a sofa in the beginning and then snored through the following 7 hours and 55 minutes. A meaningless and boring movie, which doesn’t arouse any urge to watch till the end and without any atmosphere that would convince me afterwards that it was worth watching. Luckily, the film was so uninteresting to me that I had time to notice my cat trying to shit in my bed.

Finally, somebody said it out loud. While it may be in a comedy, so many critics might see it as just a device for simple humor, but it is actually the opposite. There is plenty of humor here in the spirit of the comedy genre, so a viewer who came for lighthearted romance will also enjoy it but will probably be a bit taken aback at certain key moments. And I can imagine that most people will be taken aback. Because, first and foremost, it really is about divorces, break-ups, bitter memories, and everything that goes through children's minds when their parents separate. It will push some people in the right direction and align their values, but for others it might break them in all directions and turn their relationship into a mess. I used to think I was in the minority with this kind of thinking, but A.C.O.D. showed me, not least in the amazing final end credits montage, that I am not. That there are a bunch of us, and I am grateful for it. The fact that Adam Scott articulates many of my thoughts and scattered ideas out loud is the reason why, despite the occasionally loose central plot, I considered giving it the highest rating. And the fact of seeing Amy Poehler play his stepmother after having watched all of Parks and Recreation is just the icing on the cake.

It starts off quite well, but suddenly you realize it's actually a movie about a poor guy who can't cope with the fact that his parents are sleeping with each other again. That's actually pretty weak. He's lashing out, upsetting everyone, and doing a lot of stupid things, but it's probably just a phase because it's clear he'll be forgiven. Believe it or not, that's actually how it is. A clichéd film with some decent characters, but everything gets lost because from the beginning you already know what twists and turns you'll go through.
