there is no right cookie


the cookie monster and elmo argument was my favorite, especially when they were cutting to the kids reactions

Yes, I thought that was hilarious.

"I'm filled with Scotch, bitterness, and impure thoughts!"

That was one of the only good parts of the movie. But I thought Emily Blunt was better at doing the cookie monster voice vs her sister doing the Elmo voice.

yes it was a nice scene...but i disagree with the just pick a cookie arguement.

there is a reight cookie, just most people cant be alone more than a day so they pick the wrong cookie and then nibble on other cookies on the side and never allow themselves the opportunity to meet and eat their one right cookie,so almost everyone is miserable

byt the right cookie is rare...maybe once in a lifetime, if youre lucky

As the parents say, no cookie is going to be perfect. In the Elmo's sister's case, her pregnancy was the catalyst of her marriage. But it worked. Not perfectly, by any stretch of the imagination, but it worked. They made it work. Marriage is not easy.
Thinking that someone who agrees with you 100% about everything all the time doesn't make them your soul-mate. It just makes one of you gullible and the other a liar, or a bit of both on each side.
Either way, arguing about those very serious things in cartoon voices was SO funny!

Well I never said perfect. I said the "right" one for you.
Most people aren't with the right one. And most people aren't happy. Some stick with it. Many cheat. Many just are miserable. I don't think it's work when you're with the right cookie. Everything just flows. You have ups and down. Hit you're a team and there's never any thought of giving up on the other or thoughts of someone else. Rare. But would be more common if people would just wait for the right one instead of just bein with someone instead of being alone any stretch Of time

It's always work. Bad things can happen to couples which can cause the relationship to be strenuous on each other. You have to take into account the dynamics of psychology in certain situations. Believing that there is one person out there for everybody is extremely egotistical and delusional. Yes, you can find someone that you love, are attracted to and are extremely compatible with, but there will always be issues. No relationship is perfect, that's just life.

Again I never said perfect. Go read it again. I acknowledged there's would be issues, but the thought if leaving never enters each other's minds. Yiure a team. It's not egotistical at all. It's a match. There's a match out there for most peipek. Where there's chemistry and love and you're on each other's side always. Has nothing to do with agreeing or thinking alike or having everytbing in common. It's about wanting to be with each other through it all and share it all. To me it's short sighted and Simplistic and negative to say " it's always work". It's not when you're in the right relarionship. You shouldn't have to work at it. If you do then you're not with the right owtson

It was a cute idea and it was okay for about 2 back-and-forths but by the time it was done I had hollered, "Enough!" at them about 3 times.
