Gemini the case of Milo (Bill Harder) and Maggie (Kristen Wiig), who have not not seen for a decade, and then turn when the hospital calls Maggie tries over Milo to commit suicide - a call to reach him, as he's just under a handful of pills. She invites him back to the city where they are few, so that he is not alone, even if it closer to her lover, as he young (Ty Burrell), and Maggie's husband, Lance (Luke Wilson) for the first time had come to let him - marriage of Maggie sabotaged, although Lance is quite large. The rapid appearance of the twins mother (Joanna Gleason) helps to explain why many of their questions, which is further connected her that we never see clearly. There are other things in his past, which reveal themselves, at least in part, as the movie goes, but there are times when things do not show up quite seem: It's rare to feel a real break between the pair that would Milo skip Maggie wedding until the filmmakers have to drop the bomb towards the end, but not data. It's not "Hey, wait, that can not work", a track, especially when it is certainly possible to search director Craig Johnson and his co-writer Mark Heyman to leave some things unsaid and the general atmosphere of the work . Working for the most part, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig are on their game. Both are best known comedians and filmmakers do not forget, these skills only because the darker the subject; This is actually a very funny movie. Wiig and Hader are able to make this character so naturally funny people who are always informed by jokes and play acting, and during a scene really feels a bit too much, as they do a little, it also shows that Wiig in particular may be expressive while playing a scene expressionless secretly.

The MVP-level performance in a sturdy, Luke Wilson there; He plays Lance low-key, fun way that can come off as kind of a minor, but works luckily the other hand, to emphasize the character of the basic decency. He is not the problem, and he is able enough that Maggie has no right to his good nature. It indicated that Ty Burrell Rich is the party problem, but Burrell will help to make a three-dimensional figure from him. There are other nice supporting performances by Joanna Gleason Boyd Holbrook. Things are pretty good too intertwined. It is possible that darkness lurks neat suburban landscape, waiting to come out, but Johnson and his team do not do the things on this front, as many filmmakers exaggerate. There is room for the things in the course of the film to be funny, but the comedy never been the dominant force in the film, which feels like a betrayal when things threaten to fall apart can be. Things can be seamless, but they are well balanced.
