Great movie until near end when needlessly shows a full grown adult lip-kissing a 3 year old child.

This movie can be pretty misleading , if you have read the plot and visited the IMDb page before watching the movie you might think its really a comedy , I mean , Just take a look at the cast : Nick Kroll , Joel McHale , Jane Krakowski etc. The truth is that the movie has more solid drama elements that comedy ones , Sure i had a couple of laughs here and there but i would not even include the comedy in the description . Don't get me wrong , the movie is pretty good , the acting and the plot are very well made . In conclusion , I would recommend this movie to watch with the wife or girlfriend , It has a heart warming touch to it somehow.

This movie is a piece of $#!%. No seriously, it looks like Nick Kroll watched "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" (2006), "Death at a Funeral" (2007), "Dan in Real Life" (2007), "Flashbacks of a Fool" (2008), "This Is Where I Leave You" (2014), "The Judge" (2014), etc... .. and made a decision like "Hey! Now it is my time to make a serious Drama!""Adult Beginners" (2014) also a "Comedy", but I am still not understand where is a jokes and on what I need to laugh!? Maybe on scenes in a swimming pool (but I do not think that women with a kids who have a lessons are funny and can be as an objects for jokes), on playground (where I had a strong feeling that jokes were written by "Lloyd and Harry" from the movie "Dumb & Dumber" (1994)) or conversation in a toilet!? I think Nick Kroll must add small brochure to his movie with description where we must laugh and perhaps same for sadness because this movie also a "Drama". .. ... ..

Maybe it's because I have a younger brother, or that I'm an 80's kid. Whatever it was, I loved this movie. The soundtrack, the nuanced family relationships, nursery fables on cassette, Toad the Wet Sprocket are all highlights.Rose Byrne is radiant as the dependable mother/sister who is stretched slightly too thin for comfort. Nick Kroll is just the right amount of cynical and self-centred to be amusing. Seeing their slow journey towards growing as a family is heart-warming (and not in a Hallmark, "here is a treacle explosion to satiate your need for plastic family fantasies" kind of way). This is a performance-driven piece, and worth a watch.
