Before getting into the plot, the acting, and so on, there is something you should know up front: when you see the words "this film is rated R for sexual content and language throughout," they are not kidding.

Is it a funny movie? In many places, yes, it is absolutely hilarious. Does it have some sweet, romantic moments? Indeed it does, the kind that make you go "Awwwww." But if you consider profanity, ongoing conversations about sex, and several scenes that are just this side of pornography to be unacceptable viewing, you don't need to read any further: this film is not for you.

It starts so well, too, with an adorable proposal scene complete with fireworks and a killer view of San Francisco. Tom (Jason Segel, The Muppets) and Violet (Emily Blunt, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen) seem to be the perfect couple, headed toward the perfect wedding and perfect life. Sure, there's a little hiccup when Tom's goofy best friend Alex (Chris Pratt,Moneyball) knocks up Violet's sister, Suzie (Alison Brie, Scream 4), but once those two are married there's nothing to stand in between our heroes and wedded bliss. Tom, a sous chef in a top San Fran restaurant, is headed toward culinary stardom; Violet will soon be accepted into a local program and become a respected psychologist.

Except she doesn't. Her offer is for a two-year program at the University of Michigan. Tom gives up his career to go with her (it's just two years; he can cook anywhere) and suddenly finds himself irrelevant. Most romantic comedy plots hinge on some kind of communication breakdown and this is no exception. Tom feels emasculated by his new life in Michigan but he refuses to admit there's a problem, taking out his aggression on not-very-realistic-looking deer (in hunting season).
