I did like the movie, but not as much as I liked Election or About Schimidt also directed by Alexander Payne. This movie wasn't nearly as funny. I disagree that the acting was superb. It was okay but the characters were mainly blah and predictable. There just wasn't anything that drove this film past mundane and I didn't relate to either of the main male characters.
This film did nothing to fill me in on why men feel the need to "sow oats" or how they can live with themselves after the jerk things they do.
However. The one character I really related to was Sandra Oh's. As shown in the previews she kicks the holy crap out Thomas Haden Church in one of the film's best scenes. For this, the film was almost worth it.
