This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This movie was very well thought out. Serious, and funny without being too cheesy. The Producers of this movie hit all of the nails on their heads. The acting from the three main characters was superb. They did an excellent job at acting all of the awkward and uncomfortable moments. You could feel all of their emotions through the film. I also really enjoyed the buildup of the plot, very true to real life. Not to mention the many unexpected twists. This is a perfect movie illustrating the 20 something experience and many of the hardships and awkwardness that can accompany it. I believe everybody has a similar story to tell in relation to these characters.

Sasha (Leighton Meester) is gay and best friends with straight Paige (Gillian Jacobs). Their best friends are Jen (Gabourey Sidibe) and Jenn (Beth Dover). They are inseparable until Paige meets Tim (Adam Brody). Paige is an environmental lawyer. Tim keeps quoting movies. Sasha is a musician in a dead-end job who doesn't play music. Paige accepts Tim's marriage proposal. Sasha keeps dating immature girls like Vanessa (Abby Elliott) and Mia (Greer Grammar).The first half is sweet and a bit of quirky. It's mildly humorous. It's two best friends growing apart as their lives change. The second half is a slightly better. The humor has a little bite. There is some personal drama but it never truly gets too dramatic. Both Meester and Jacobs have endearing qualities. Overall, it's a light, sweet and mildly funny life stories of late twenty-somethings.

different with an interesting twist of a dilemma between love and friendship . I was particularly moved by the way the movie gave practical and real life depictions as opposed to the happy endings and fake happiness that can be clichés in related movies. The suspense of the movie is indeed interesting coupled with the unpredictable nature of the scenes Overall good job but improve on the video quality. The main actor did an impeccable job in taking on such a tricky role . Thumbs up Laighton looking forward to improvements in the future . Although average the movie is truly entertaining and kind of hilarious.However, I still have to express my disappointment by the representation of lesbians in the movie hey you guys could totally do better.

Life Partners (2014) was directed by Susanna Fogel. Sasha--Leighton Meester--is best friends with Paige--Gillian Jacobs. Sasha is a lesbian, and Paige is straight. Neither of them has a problem with this--there's no romantic interest, but lots of love.Enter Tim--Adam Brody--who falls in love with Paige. (There's a movie in-joke here, because in real life, Brody is married to Meester.). Tim and Paige are engaged, and living together. The movie takes a strange turn at this point, when Paige backs into a neighbor's car. She refuses to take responsibility, which bothers Tim. This theme apparently was required to fill out a 95-minute movie. The whole business was trivial.The real theme, in my opinion, was the inevitable break between Sasha and Paige. The theme of female friendship being broken when men become involved is old--think of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. It may be old, but it still resonates. I think that's what this movie really was about. It's certainly a theme worth exploring.We saw this film at the Dryden Theatre as part of the well-chosen offerings of ImageOut, the Rochester LGBT Film Festival. It will work well on DVD.
