Ok, so my wife and I decided to go see Paramount Pictures Men, Women, & Children.  The film depicts the lives of parents, kids, and teenagers as they live life both in the real world and online.  That is basically the whole story.
When I first saw the preview for the film, I thought it looked very interesting and thought-provoking.  It reminded me of 2012's Disconnect starring Jason Bateman (a movie which I loved by the way and I think everyone should see it), but to my disappointment it wasn't anywhere near that kind of quality.  To be completely honest my wife and I walked out of the film within the first 10 minutes.  That is how horrible it is.  Seriously within those first ten minutes, a dad was looking as porn (in full view), a son was looking at porn, and a teenager was posing for immoral pictures to post on the internet which were taken by her own mother.  What a load of crap.  Now I know that with technology people can live different lifestyles than they normally live, but seriously there is no way that this movie depicts reality.  The thing I hate about these types of movies is that they say they are providing us with reality, but in reality there is so much good on the internet as well that never get depicted.  Yes this is film that shows the dangers that the internet can provide, but if we look at it with just that lens, then we are denying ourselves of all the good.
It is a real shame that this film turned out the way it did.  It stars an amazing cast with Adam Sandler, Jennifer Garner, Ansel Elgort, Emma Thompson, and Judy Greer.  Such a waste of perfect talent.
There is a reason why this film is failing at the box office and I would suggest that people don't waste their money like I did.  Please stay away from this film, because there are so many better options out there.
