Stuck in Love (2012)

I saw this movie last night and was looking forward to a light romantic movie. What I saw was a piece of garbage. If you think it's great that your 16 year old son is having sex with a girl who is more experienced than him than this movie is for you. This same 16 year old is shown smoking lots of pot like its no big deal. He even smokes pot with his 19year old sister who picks up guys for the sex because she's afraid of getting into a real relationship and getting hurt. The dad (Greg Kinnear) is waiting for his ex wife to return to him even though she's remarried but in the mean time he has scheduled bouts of sex with his married neighbor. The writing is contrived and just plain awful. I see why our teens are screwed up if they watch crap like this.

Fmovies: This flick is just sour with silly, self indulgent, spoiled, rich people. Not one came across as 'real'. All a put on from start to finish.

The entire story revolves around one dimensional characters concerned with their 'feelings', their 'relationships', their 'fun', and running around in their own insulated world of rich people in big houses. And each one are extreme - either extremely over experienced in life as Samantha and Kate are. Or extremely under experience as Louis. Either way none of them are believable.

And the father William makes a big deal on how he has waited for two years for his wife to come back because she's his only love. While he is banging the little beach jogger - everyday! And did Samantha's boy friend really think his mother wasn't going to die? Thats established as soon as we see his mother.

No I can't like this silly movie - and who couldn't figure out the fate of little miss drug girl and that the wife would be back at the finish.

The fact that such a likable collection of actors and actresses is assembled should indicate this movie is worth a watch.

Although the story isn't ground breaking it's not irritating and doesn't lose steam. It's a story about a writer (Kinnear) and his family and their romantic and family relationships.

The daughter is played by Lily Collins who is very pretty and acts well. The still very beautiful Jennifer Connelly looks like she could be her mother in real life with their dark hair and thick eyebrows - good casting. Wish she would act more these days. Greg Kinnear is quite writer like with his beard but he looks a little too scruffy. Nat Wolff as the son is a bit dorky looking for such an attractive family. Liana Liberato is a bit irritating as the druggie girlfriend though. Patrick Schwarzenegger has a small role as a jerk boyfriend of Liana. Logan Lerman play's Lily's sweet boyfriend.

Everyone is kind of nice and sweet even when they aren't being nice and it's refreshing to see a movie with nice people and a watchable cast.

Stuck in Love fmovies. i really loved this movie i enjoyed every second of it ! it actually has a meaning ! its more than just a movie about family and love and relationships ! its not like any other romantic drama ...I'm in love with this movie ! very recommended i wish there was a book for this movie.. i think that the reason i loved this so much is that it is so realistic ! the characters are so rounded ! the actors are so well picked they really look like a family to me the work together so well! one of the best movies i have watched in a long time !

I always enjoy that kind of deep meaningful realistic type of movies that give you a good cry in the end ! I even had goosebumps 90% of the movie ! its so touching!

If you can believe any of these people are real writers, then you are far less cynical than I am. Would Scribners really publish the sexploits of a 19-year-old? Would Stephen King call a 16-year-old to tell him how much he loved his story? Not in my world where there is something we call, reality.

Yes, this is about different types of love. Strangely, all of the love connections shown here are dysfunctional. Maybe that's the point that the filmmakers are trying to make. Who knows? All the actors seem to be acting out their roles well enough; however, they seem to have no inclination to interact with anyone else. Maybe I was not in the right mood for this film, but I never felt any true connections between any of these people. All attempts to wring feelings from us, the audience, just fell flat because, in truth, we had very little sympathy for anyone. Maybe it was because they were trying to cram too much into one movie. Maybe if they had focused on just one or two of the relationships, we would have developed some emotional connections with the participants. As it eventuated, however, we ended up stuck in an emotional limbo that did not, in any stretch of the imagination, approximate love.

Because if this is anything it's a fantasy by writers about writers for people who think they want to be writers. Everyone is brilliant I insightful charming warm caring and infinitely forgiving of the people who screw them over the hardest. They even tend to the sick and have hot chocolate with the black maid. Except for the Lilly Collins character. She's a narcissistic bully trying to be Diablo Cody age 20 going on 55 trying to be 17. Everyone totally gets and loves everyone. Girls will sleep with you before the first date. Anyone under the age of 25 instantly knows every social and pop reference including all literature for the past half century. And I don't know what smartphones they have but they sound better than my home theater. Ms. Bell steals the show with her smart funny role but her character is sadly not realistic with the nearly 20 year difference of her "buddy". Kinnear plays to type: depressed. Ms Connelly also plays to type; angry needy clingy yet bossy and passive aggressive. But the takeaway is that if you want to be a published novelist with your first and only book all you need is to be smart and sassy.
