Saw it last night on TV with the wife

& we had a few of those "married too long, uncomfortable chuckles" while we watched this because they hit pretty close to home with their jokes about middle class, suburban life. In a way, it reminded me of the "Vacation" series of movies because a reoccurring theme in those films was also making fun of that type of lifestyle. I don't normally even like a "rom com" type movie (if that's what you would even call this since it's almost an action-adventure comedy film, but I digress) so when they got to the bedroom scene at the very beginning, it was so dead on accurate in it's portrayal of boring, married suburban life that I decided to watch the whole thing with her. I mean, my wife sleeps with a Cpap machine on & I use Breathright strips too so, yeah, spontaneous, exciting sex? Well, that went by the wayside a few years ago. I was pleasantly surprised by all the injokes about married life in general & all the suburban clichés that we both laughed all the way thru because we knew we were really laughing at ourselves. "But the city is sooo faaaar!" Yeah, we have that discussion every weekend. Where do you want to go? I don't know, Outback or Olivegarden? We have (had) crazy friends or family like they did that decided to go off & live a slightly "alternative" lifestyle like their friends that spilt at the start of the film, we know people like the high tech operative guy that to us seems to lead a fantasy life, we go to average joe restaurants & eat crappy food like potatoe skins, we feel socially awkward in fru-fru settings, & we like being at home- all shown perfectly for comedy effect in the film. At a few points during the movie we litterally looked at each other & said out loud - "that's it! That's us!", the writers, producers, & crew really "got" that whole feel for what this crazy life is really like & for that fact alone, I honestly enjoyed this film. I guess it made us realize that, yeah, we're boring, but we choose to be boring together.
