Thanks For Sharing [DVD + Digital]

This from a movie lover, not an expert on film by any means… Real life, tough situations, relatable relationships. Really good movie to get lost in and feel the feels. It’s got some funny parts too. The acting is great, and it’s awesome to see Alecia Moore act and do a great job. Addiction is no funny matter, but the movie presents it in a relatable, caring, responsible way. We are all these people.

May contain spoilers.This is a generally good movie with some good actors giving good performances. Unfortunately the script is a bit suspect and the film moves back and forth between a serious drama about addiction and a romantic comedy. Certainly, the movie was marketed as a romcom and even the jacket cover displays quotes like "Laugh-Out-Loud-Funny" and "Romantic, Smart, Funny." And while there is romance and there is humor, for the most part, the film plays serious.While no one chuckles about alcohol or drug addiction and the efforts to treat as diseases, sexual addiction is, let's face it, a bit harder to accept. With Josh Gad playing a medical doctor named Neil (funny to even think about) with a sex addiction you can perhaps understand the misclassification. The story centers around Adam (Mark Ruffalo), a businessman who is 5 years clear of sex (of any kind). He regularly attends an AA meeting geared toward those similarly afflicted. His sponsor is Mike (Tim Robbins), a recovering alcoholic. His wife Katie (Joely Richardson) isn't clearly addicted to anything, but does keep a bottle of Percocet handy.Adam has one of those cute meets-at-a-party involving Phoebe (Gwyneth Paltrow). They end up going to lunch and get more and more serious. Eventually Mike has to come clean on the sex addiction thing, although he doesn't spring it on her for some time in typical Hollywood fashion. When these things happen in movies, we all know what the reaction will be. Now while Phoebe isn't addicted to anything, she is compulsive about several things. Her food for example. No clashing colors touching. Small portions. Training for a triathlon.Patrick Fugit plays the son of Mike and Katie. They haven't seen him in years and yep, you guessed it, he's a drug addict. All of these characters intermingle and add to the drama. It gets to be a bit much and occasionally swerves into melodrama. The performances are all very good including one by Alecia Moore, aka Pink, who plays one of the few female sex addicts in the movie. For those looking for a more tradition romantic comedy, look elsewhere.The Blu ray disc comes with a 1.78:1 aspect ratio and 1080p resolution and it looks very good. While this digitally shot film isn't one of those eye-poppers we sometimes see, it is satisfying with good clarity and color accuracy. The audio includes a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which much like the video isn't awe inspiring but very consistent, clear and directionally interesting. Some of the best displays using the surrounds are in the several scenes in Manhattan, especially with the traffic. Extras include a commentary track featuring director, Stuart Blumberg, a gag reel, some deleted scenes and a making of featurette called "One Step at a Time." Subtitles come in English SDH and Spanish.

This is a good story about people battling sex (and other) addictions. It sheds light on what is still a misunderstood addiction that is as potentially damaging to one's life and family, as drugs, alcohol, and other seemingly more serious addictions.This is a drama/comedy, but there's more drama than comedy. It centers around main characters; Adam (Mark Ruffalo), Mike (Tim Robbins), and Neil (Josh Gad) and their various stages of recovery from sexual addiction. It is a multilayered story as it also shows us how their addictions and attempts at recovery affect their personal lives and relationships. Adam's new girlfriend (Paltrow) shows us a very realistic portrayal of how a single woman would react when she discovers Adam's addiction. At one point when Adam confesses that he is a sexual addict, she says something like, "Isn't that what men say they have who just want to sleep around with a lot of women?" which unfortunately, IS how many view this very real and very damaging addiction. Joely Richardson, who plays Katie, Robbin's long-time (and long suffering and patient) wife, does a great job playing a woman who has been through the ropes throughout a long marriage with a spouse who has had his ups and downs - with both sexual and alcohol addiction.True to virtually all addictions; anyone can "fall off the wagon" at anytime no matter how long they've been "clean" or "sober," and the movie does a good job of showing us this.This is certainly a unique story and well played out, and therefore interesting and entertaining but there are some gritty moments (scenes) that are true to the nature of an addiction of this sort so if you're looking for a light hearted comedy, this is not the movie for you. However, if you're interested in a multilayered story about how addiction affects people in the real world - and how they cope (or not), then you will not be disappointed.What I especially liked about this movie is that they also present a woman who is battling sex addiction (played quite well by singer, Pink) as many people assume that this is just a man's problem. Neil (Gad) gives a great performance as a young doctor who is just beginning to attempt recovery and yet at the same time, still holding on to his self-destructive behaviors.

Its a must see if you`re a Mark Ruffalo fan, he never disappoints, all the male actors are very good at making you feel for them, even though you want to dislike them. Its a funny, sweet, touching film, that could have gone horribly wrong, with a tricky topic. Its funny in all the right places and touching without being sickening or false. I really enjoyed it, just wanna give Mark Ruffalo a really big hug, but then I always do..

Even when shops aren't locked down Amazon provides fantastic choice and exceptional value

This is an important film, especially for men, but helpful for women also to understand a bitthe problem of men suffering from sexual addiction. It is also a problem among women these days, but it is still mostly a male problem.

Movie was a bit slow at first but I couldn't stop watching and glad I didn't!Love the movie and especially love Alicia Moore's (Pink's) character which she played brilliantly!

Very enjoyable film, perfect casting for tackling the subject without too much slapstick 'comedy'. Mark Ruffalo rarely puts a foot wrong in his script choices nowadays and just gets better and better. Recommended.
