Maggie, wants to have a baby so right when she's about to artificially inseminate herself with a pickle man's sperm Ethan Hawke decides he loves Maggie and not his wife Julianne Moore, who is a German anthropologist with whom he has 2 children. Maggie and Ethan Hawke have a baby and the movie skips ahead 3 years.
Maggie, caught with the reality of being married to a selfish man who thinks nothing of leaving his family for a someone new willy-nilly, tries to make herself feel better after growing tired of her marriage/affair and conspires with Julianne Moore to get the original family back together.
Meanwhile, the pickle man has the worst accent ever and I feel really bad for the aussie actor stuck with more than he can handle.
Bill Hader is the only one who calls Maggie on her bull shit in this whole movie.
All in all, this is an annoying movie. At no time did I care about anyone in this atrocious mess. I had much higher hopes for a Rebecca Miller film...but this is a movie about a bunch of pretentious, bourgeoisie, hipster intellectual assholes.
1/5
