REVIEW
Andrew: Hello readers!
Yesterday Sarah and I caught a late afternoon showing of Celeste and Jesse Forever,
the new dramady starring Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg (which was also
co-written by Jones). This is a film that’s been in limited release so far and
we just recently found out it was in our neck of the woods so it’s not one
we’ve had a chance to preview but we’ve seen the trailer for it many times and
it certainly caught our eye.
The topic of the film, with Jones’ Celeste
and Samberg’s Jesse being best friends who were married for six years but are
getting divorced yet hang out with each other constantly was something that
piqued our interest. The different take on a relationship like that made us
want to check it out.
Sarah, when we left the movie you seemed a
bit ambivalent about it.
Sarah: I don’t know how to
feel about it! It was funny, I will give it that. There were some parts that
literally made me laugh out loud. Not just a chuckle, but an honest to goodness
laugh. It was hilarious.
