Adam Scott is awesome in this movie, especially in this scene. It's rare seeing him in a role that is less comedic and more serious, and it shows that he can really deliver when he isn't funny.
You probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my brother for the last few weeks xD
@@tonnyrodrigueznunez agreed!! it was a good concept and unique, and that’s why this scene is really good. brings up a lot of good points to think about. but the ending was too neatly wrapped up and fairytale-ish. 🙄it was cringey. he becomes attracted to her suddenly cuz Mary Jane was not there anymore.
This is such a well directed and acted scene. It’s only 9 minutes but you can feel the tension building throughout and it feels so much longer. Aside from the great acting from Adam Scott and Jon Hamm, we see every character’s reactions and doubt about their own decisions when it comes to their relationships and parenting skills. I’m shocked this movie wasn’t more popular, I truly think it’s one of the best romantic comedies of the last 15 years
I love how Ben's such a despicable person in this scene, but later while apologizing he says the most sensible quote of the entire movie. Or maybe it's sensible to me because my relationship has things in common with Jason and Julie's (we're mostly best friends who learnt how to make it work without feeling like we have an extra limb). Anyway, I think the fact we can see such different sides or shades of a character is thanks to Jon's incredible talent.
It’s not that hard to tell your kids “We’re not together. We’re with other people. We’re still your parents, we’re still a family and we love you.” Kids will understand unless you give them a reason to be confused.
Jon Hamm’s character was drunk, hurting, and frustrated. He was lashing out because it’s all he could do. Doubt he would have said that stuff in a better mindset
You don't know that buddy. Your kids will think of you as a selfish irresponsible prick who shouldn't have been a parent. And might even bad mouth you when you are not there.
I don’t know if Megan Foxx or the director choose this little detail for her character but just look 2:25 how she is holding the fork in contrary to him. She comes from a different social-economic background but since she is an atractive and younger woman that is the only thing his character cares about. Not about if they have the same values about life or social-economic perspective. Furthermore, if you have watched the full film you know that this comes to bit him in the end. Very interesting
U have a good eye for attention to details. I’ve seen this movie multiple times & I never noticed the fork thing. The way u describe it makes perfect sense to show they clearly are incompatible.
It shows how he is a good actor. A good actor can make you forget about him as an actor and see only the character that he plays. It's the epitome of what acting should be.
I love this scene! I completely understand Ben but also Jase and Julie. As a mom who could've chosen to be, deal, and potentially marry my daughters dad I'm so glad I didn't. We haven't been together since she was 2. She's 6 now and has never asked about our relationship though I know it'll probably come eventually. She loves her step mom(he married when she was 5 and she's been in her life since she was 3) and when she does ask about another sibling(from me) we talk about me loving someone enough for that. I mean we had a good hour long conversation about it and she's 6! So from this scene you can't just assume that your kid will be negatively affected because they live in a 2 parent home. I love her dad and he will forever be someone I care about and love and I feel that my daughter can see that from the both of us without any explanation even when we go through our "moments" lol. We always strive to put her first and I couldn't be more grateful.
Anyone ever been in the same room as your S.O. when they go deep like this on a friend or crush of theirs while you're sitting next to them? I would feel for Fox's character...it's the worst.
I really loved the movie. It showed that even full grown adults with experience can mess things up thinking they are doing the right thing. Ben might have been in a very bad mental state when he said what he said in this scene but he was very right. The ending of this movie was very unrealistic though.
Omg are you on every clip of this movie?! You obviously didn't watch this if you think all you stated is true. What Jason learns is that love does NOT equal sex. and they learn that marriage can be shitty but you work through it bc you love each other.
I've watched some reviews on this movie and all I heard was that this movie sucked. "The plot is stupid". .... . Yea, no shit it's stupid, that's why this movie works. The movie knows that the plot is stupid. This is a good movie that shows what happens with relationships after kids. Trying that move they did, is dumb and the movie with everyone in it, knows that.
I actually haven't read any reviews saying "the plot is stupid". Not saying that the reviews were great, but "stupid plot" wasn't even in the top 10 of common criticisms. I think the idea behind the movie was pretty good for a movie like this, but that it wasn't executed too well and hit an odd middle between being a drama or a romcom. All in all, though, I like that movies like these are exploring and questioning traditional family values. The core messages behind this scene being: 1) Don't have kids with someone if your main connection to your partner is sex. 2) Children will benefit from their parents really knowing, respecting and loving each other before they are starting a family, preferably for many years, no matter the romantic circumstances. No rush. 3) Kids are able to understand more than they are being credited for. 4) Just because a family model is well established, doesn't mean it's automatically a good fit for every individual person or couple out there, and that it can't hurt to question these things in your own context. If you're a stable, good couple, putting that question out there will only reinforce your relationship, as you can see with the non-arguing couple here, Alex and Leslie. If you're not and you've realized that early enough, at least you don't end up making a massive mistake like the sex couple Ben and Missy here and have children with and therefore a permanent commitment to a person you hate. I don't see anything wrong with those messages and actually like that more and more movies are putting these thoughts out there.
@@JunebugPresents yeah, people who didn't go the standard route and probably have plenty of insight in their own social circle. Are you seriously saying to make or write a movie, you have to have lived through all of the plot yourself? Those poor people from Titanic, didn't know they had the time to write a script and send it to Hollywood while paddling in that freezing water...
OMG!! I was thinking the same thing... This scene would have been perfect without those weird cheeks. Why do women do this? I know they think iy makes them lpok younger, but are young women running around with chipmink cheeks when they're not even smiling?
It hurts Jon. I know you're just acting -, that it's not actually you, but it hurts. I wished someone had warned me about the content of this video... all I wanted was a scene that had anything to do with my searchwords. "Jon Hamm hot scene". I guess I payed the price for my sloppy suggestion. Next time I'm going to write "Jon Hamm sex scene". Bye. I love you, bye.
