I wrote this big-ass review (my first ever) about this movie which BLEW ME AWAY... But then I realized it was garbage and so I deleted it. So let me just sum it up with this: this film explored sooo many elements of a great movie, not just in a true, in-depth view of what addiction and recovery looks like, but more than that— damn it I wish I knew how to get my thoughts out on to paper!Screw it. I can't. Stellar performances from everybody. Great writing. Possibly biased reviews from addicts who can empathize, but, oh well. Watch!PS: how the hell did this get a 6.6 ??? Trust me, it is so much more deserving of a higher rating.

My attention to this movie only lasted 27 min,quite a long time to attract one's interest to continue. So what did it show in the first 27 minutes? Empty, pointless and dull dialogues that have nothing to do with developing of the story. That verbal exchange between Adam and Phoebe in a park was annoying and meaningless. Josh Gad's character was quite absurdous and did not go well with me. The scene where he talked to a doctor and some sort of device fell out of his sleeve was the point where I decided to stop wasting my time. Tim Robbins could not be associated with his character. The group "sharing" part was very bad,especially Dede's (Pink).Well, I could only last through her introduction. And above all,we have seen it all many many times before-the 12 step program.Nothing is new or original here-not a material for a movie.

I have to laugh at some of the pretentious comments about this movie. Courageous? Daring? Open a window, people! The subject matter is ridiculous, in my opinion. Whenever I hear people talk about sex addiction I roll my eyes. Times we live in, I guess. It's not a comedy like the trailer made it out to be. It's a drama with some bits of 'comedy' here and there, mostly from Josh Gad, whose character we first see physically molesting a woman on a subway train. But he's an addict, folks! Not a pervert. He can't help himself. You would think any movie with Pink playing a sex addict can't be all that bad, but you'd be wrong. An overlong, boring mess of a movie rife with clichés and misplaced priorities. A low point in the careers of Ruffalo, Robbins, and Paltrow.

"Thanks for Sharing" is one of those sweet cute and nice little independent films that connects each character with an important theme in this case it involves how sex addiction has taken over their lives! It's not porn though it's a film blended well with romance and comedy drama! It's focus is in the therapy session rooms for these sex freaks with the story showing Adam(Mark Ruffalo)as a single man who cannot fight his sexual demons it's a relapse for him as he just can't stop from getting it on with a hot beauty named Phoebe(Gwyneth Paltrow is so hot in a sexy black bra!)And then the elder married man Mike(Tim Robbins)who's problems are in the bedroom with his wife plus he's got a son with a substance abuse problem. And last but not least Neil(Josh Gad)an overgrown overweight big boy who loves the sight of pretty women and he's an excessive champ of masturbation. Overall a nice little film of connection and at the same time you feel the pleasure and sorrow of the characters. Sharing pain and pleasure helps us get thru our daily lives.
