Max is a real jerk. A long time ago, the successful lawyer had turned over all the routine duties of family life to his wife Nathalie.His comfort and leisure time were a far greater priority. Sell the roadster and buy an efficient family car? No way!But then, Max’s fast-paced life suddenly screeches to a halt when Nathalie is hospitalized for several weeks with a complicated fracture.Alone with their two children and the dog he hates, Max quickly reaches the boiling point.As if having to play father was not bad enough, he is shocked to the core when he discovers passionate love letters written to his wife and signed “From G. in love”. Feeling that his life is slipping out of control, Max’s first impulse is to find out who his rival is. Then it dawns on him – could the way he has treated his wife be the reason why she has sought out another lover?Now Max attempts to see his situation from a different point of view. Last week he was ready to plan the yearly guys’ vacation he takes with his best buddy, but now things have changed.Max recognizes just how much he needs Nathalie’s humor, her organizing talent and her optimism, but also just how important to him she and his family really are. Max tries to discover the mysterious lover’s identity, but because of his new insight, he takes an additional step.Unfortunately, when he learns that the mystery man is Gregor, Max realizes that not only does the man have all those qualities - he is very attractive as well. His struggle to become a better husband and father suddenly becomes far more difficult.Hoping to knock Gregor out of the picture and get back in Nathalie’s good graces, Max makes an appointment with a successful life coach. But turning his life around is far more difficult than he had imagined.To make matters worse, Gregor turns out to be a loving, family-oriented man just what Nathalie needs. Max is desperate – he knows there is a real chance that he might lose Nathalie and the children.Willing to put everything on the line to keep his family intact, Max makes the biggest sacrifice of his life. Then something happens that is the very last thing he could have ever counted on…
你要说它商业，它镜头语言又尝试文艺，像镜头绕一圈回来桌子只剩狼藉；说它是melodrama，几场如修电灯泡又鸡毛蒜皮得像现实主义；几场对话挺有机锋，男女来去那点劲道有，有时又尴尬，还间杂着对现在某些现象/思潮的点评。可电影不是拼贴画（个人观点哈），不是说你观察了现代生活（或者说部分想象中的部分上海人的生活）截取了几个片段，每段都评头论足一番，玩得有趣些逗观众一笑即可，我总以为电影要有个落点，若非说是后现代玩法，她又没有形成明确的风格（如果骨子里没有上海，可以拍出真上海吗？我实在要说，她无半点伍迪艾伦的影子），而如果要玩风格，我始终相信，一个导演来来去去只有几句话要说，我还没有看到她所想说的话。总之，始终有一种不一致感，像你光穿了件羊绒，领后的标签和侧边的水洗标暗暗磨你，瘙痒却遍布周身。
像是伍迪艾伦的对话机锋和文青自嘲，加上是枝裕和的生活细节，轻巧又妥帖。不会爱得要命，但看完后心情很好，这才是令人惬意的圣诞夜小品嘛。全程上海话特别好，是浓浓的在地气息，也是接地气不悬浮的生活感来源。小皮匠的咖啡时间是上海，骑着共享单车买外贸裤衩是生活。
人物是立不住的，故事结构是散的。为了金句而强行拼凑的情节，儿子线剪掉又如何，毫无影响。高跟鞋作为格里芬对剧情推动没起什么作用，就为了让马伊琍撒谎证明她是“好女人？”一个为了女儿缩在蜗居忍受母亲的中年单亲妈妈为什么要用这种方式证明她是“好女人？”索菲亚罗兰梗也很无聊，《大鱼》撒谎精模式，要前面足够荒诞，最后证明是真的，才有戏剧效果。更不要提里面错误百出的上海话台词了。
一星给圣诞节，一星给三位女主演。俩小时坐如针毡，在看一篇流水账，毫无生活气毫无冲突的爱情片？喜剧片？文艺片？主线情节更像是一堆网络流行语录包裹下的一个中年男人的幻想。老白的魅力在哪？无。三个女人抢这碗剩饭？老乌那段我看到justin说那个女演员晕倒我就猜到老乌要领便当，可能伏笔伏得太明显之后看到就毫无新意了。Justin的角色是为了说新时代男孩子也可以化妆，没有什么娘不娘的，咋说呢，想法是好的，但是太生硬了，为了说而说，而且没啥深度。btw Justin, get out, ok?全场就你最出戏。
因而只能算作城市与人群，时局与状态的临摹，在展现范围和阶级上有所局限，离“艺术品”也有距离。
电影院看了不到十分钟我就想跑，也真的不喜欢听上海话… 还好奇怎么大家看起来都那么富裕，有几首歌蛮好听，但总觉得切入的特别生硬
年轻时多交几个文青做朋友，饭桌上打打机锋，不但预防老年痴呆，而且有人收尸，灵！
和索菲亚罗兰一夜情的老乌有可能是真的，但在上海不收亚历山大房租的房东老白，是绝对只活在电影里。
上海小资情调的中年生活，全程聊天，没有完整商业化故事设计。
3.5。节奏和爱情小品的感觉很难得，只是不太喜欢背后的这份略带精致的小资底色。说是日常，烟火气却不太浓，可能因为这还不是我的圈子。
就是你们总宣传离婚以后更潇洒自在，还能遇上真爱，才有那么多人动不动就离婚。实际上离婚带着孩子的女人很难再找到共度下半生的另一半了。能找到的都是运气极好的。好男人都是被很多女人追着围着，中等的男人也是被伴侣抓的死死的，只剩下差等的男人单着。当然了，如果婚姻实在很痛苦还是要坚决离婚的。大部分的婚姻，我只想说珍惜眼前人。
非常惊喜，大银幕上中国中年离异男女的生活不再是一地鸡毛，也可以很时尚很艺术，剧本轻巧舒服流畅，一场饭桌野猫剩饭作喻，一双鞋真真假假试探，一场电影纪念不可思议的爱情神话。看到最后确认不是碰瓷经典的烂片，而是接近《繁花》的现代弄堂记事。
就是上海女人不知道皂基和氨基酸的洗面奶有点扯。
市井和市井还是有区别的。看完这部电影再想想自己的生活，中国到底是有多割裂👉👈随便买了又卖了的一双Jimmy Choo，带着天台的小洋楼，回忆起索菲亚罗兰走后他坍塌的罗马，在沙发上打着哈欠女人们娇媚慵懒地谈论着爱情神话……😢上海人好洋气，哪怕隔着银幕向里偷偷望去，也是我从来没见过的人生。
摘自长评： “本片的宣传点之一是女性主义，但如果把这看成一个女权故事，那倪虹洁应该睡黄明昊啊，真的会有人在女权故事里想睡徐峥黄磊吗” 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
“我以前热爱生活，现在我更加热爱生活。同时，生活让我觉得恐怖，难以深入。因此，我虽相信，却持有疑虑。是的，我愿意相信，我愿意活着，永远。”
看到结尾突然就明白了加缪说他为什么能热爱生活。
标记了4颗星。比3颗星多，但是离心目中的4颗星还有点距离。
优点有，缺点更多。爱情形态抽象为人物关系，逻辑是对的，故事是错的，从马伊琍开始讲却分散重点，三个女人一台戏开始转折向无故事可讲的灾难叙事，甚至拿兄弟情讲了起来，最后给你一转弯，圆满。但台词密集却都能生活化，金句频出笑点不断，有一些故事后留下微小的细节，是还可以的。
完成度还不错的爱情小品，充满了生活质感，拍出了上海这座城市的精致和烟火气。宁理老师是亮点。
