Celeste & Jesse Forever

This film takes about half an hour to get going. The beginning is sort of blah, like an overly long introduction (which it is, I guess).

Celeste and Jesse are separated and planning on divorcing. At the same time they are still best friends and behave as such. This freaks their other two best friends out. Jesse really still loves Celeste (as a wife and as a friend) but Celeste loves Jesse as a friend. And then at some points she realizes that she loves him as a husband, too. Yeah, it's complicated.

When she is about to tell him, he jumps in and announces that he is having a baby with another woman. This makes everything even more complicated. From then on, the film is more about Celeste and her attempt to either move on or get Jesse back. I don't know because she doesn't know.

Unfortunately, it is not quite as cute as the premise would make you believe. Sometimes it tries to be really hipster and then just straight forward comedy and then a little heartach-y. If feels all just very disjointed.

It's fine, I guess, but you're not really missing anything much if you don't watch it.

4/10
