If you've watched The Break-Up with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn you will know the overall quality of this movie. It's a dramedy that is so predictable it hurts. The movie can be described with 3 letters - meh. Acting-meh, story-meh, pacing-meh, sets-meh. But my main problem is that the movie makes you feel void. It's not inspiring or atleast heartwarming like a good dramedy should be, it just kinda sucks the joy out of the viewer.
Well i was able to predict what was going to happen. And that spoils the fun out of any movie.
Also i didn't like the cast. Did not feel any sort of connection.
If someone asked me if he or she should watch this movie... i would say no.
But its just kind of working, but as i use to call comedies that dont make me laugh wholeheartedly, it is flat. you can feel the sadness in the male, having sold his sole to his wife, that takes it all away from him including his friends and so on. happily for them they dont have any children, so that factor is a non issue. as the title tells he is making a big brawling divorce party, after a suggestion from a childhood girlfriend, who agrees to arrange, his job is simply to throw in guests, a difficult task as his former wife have stolen them already.....
its a film that builds on a phatomless number of other movies of the genre, though the divorceparty idea are quite original, its not stretched wide enough to make a blockbuster. what i liked best was the quality of filming, editing and light settings, its has some bad issues on the sound, where you get shockjolted when the actor raises his or her voice, a jolt that shouldnt be there, and may for the most squemish be a wake up call when sitting in a dark theater at 10 p.m .
acting are fairly good allover, to promote someone are unescesarry(worgn slept i kwon) so its an fairly entertaining stub, that i guess my better half would enjoy much more than me. so the grumpy old man could have given lots of hints to the screenplay writer, director and producers,that wouldve made the limp becomming a jump, its ok

But unfortunately its not. and this 80 minutes of nonsense is nothing new and lacks lot of things like proper acting, a good paced story, not even proper music for that matter.
if anything a romantic comedy or drama needs some reasonable pace to make audience watch the whole thing even when it is predictable. i don't know what else to say except that it is a waste of time.

The Divorce Party is a dramatic comedy that tells the story of Nate and Susan.

A lot of folks were being harsh about this film.
Okay it's not Oscar material but it was never trying to be.
You can see what a brilliant indie film it could've been with perhaps more experienced actors and maybe a bigger budget... but overall quite sweet and definitely not samey samey as some have said.
In fact you might find some of the lines/tropes that might sound cliché in other romcoms don't feel the same here.
Think of this more as a comic drama and you'd enjoy it more.

It's fine. I don't feel like i wasted my time. But i wouldn't watch it again or actively suggest it to people.

I started watching this movie at home and started thinking nah, but as it progressed I got sucked in hook, line, and sinker. Well done!
Together then breakout and find new one next. The story should make it funnier otherwise it's lame.
Don't waste your life watching this movie!Watching paint dry would of been more entertaining
