Product Description
Romantic comedy starring David Duchovny and Julianne Moore. Rebecca (Moore) and Tom (Duchovny) are a seemingly happily-married couple. Rebecca is a film actress who is about to make her stage debut at Lincoln Center, while her husband takes care of their young daughter. However, beneath the surface, things are not going well. Rebecca is no longer amused with her husband's appetite for porn and constant sexual demands, while he's seriously considering having an affair. Rebecca's brother Tobey, (Billy Crudup), is in a more openly dysfunctional relationship. He's been dating Elaine (Maggie Gyllenhaal) for seven years but has no interest in marriage, while she's desperate to settle down and start a family. Tobey and Elaine decide to call it quits, as Tobey hooks up with an old friend from college (Eva Mendes) who is looking to cheat on her husband, and Elaine starts dating a handsome musician (James LeGros) who may be in need of a green card. Meanwhile, Rebecca and Tom go into couples therapy, which creates as many problems as it solves.

After watching the first 15 minutes of 'Trust the Man' you are lulled into the sense that you are actually watching an adult film about relationships. The dialogue is crisp and is helped tremendously by a very talented cast. However, the film descends into traditional romantic comedy territory by the second half and forgoes the intelligent route for a sappy ending. This is unfortunate because for a bit is was one of the best comedy films I had seen in a while. I also had issue with the conclusion of the film as I felt that some people did not get what they actually deserved.
This is an interesting watch for a couple who want a slightly more intelligent and rude romantic comedy to watch on a night in with some Pop Pop.

I loved the performances of all the cast in this extremely light rom-com (and I mean light) even the supporting cast were good. The standout though was David Duchovny who has impeccable comic ability and timing, he has proven in the past what a talented comedic actor he is, both with Larry Sanders and lighter episodes of the X-Files, in this film he really does shine. I can't wait to see his upcoming performance in The TV Set.
Anyway what let the film down for me though was the fact that it was neither funny nor clever, at times I felt the humour to be quite juvenile, which isn't always a bad thing in movies, I just felt that here it didn't work, especially the fart/ball punching jokes. I also felt that what we were seeing was just random scenes thrown together instead of something linear and progressive. Maybe that was the point but it felt really disjointed. Oh and the ending was really farcical and embarrassing.

I am afraid this movie is one of the most boring, slow and mind numbing I have had the misfortune to watch in a long time.. The cast are very "pretty", but that is all that can be said. Don't waste your time take a nice long soak in the bath instead.. Much more enjoyable..
