Synopsis: Nat (Rose Byrne) and Josh (Rafe Spall) meet and marry after knowing each other less than a year, Nat's sister (Minnie Driver) predicts it won't last a year. Nat has a hunky new client that has the hots for her and husband Josh has unresolved issues with an ex.
Stan's thoughts: There were times when I laughed so hard I thought I was going to rupture something while at others it was cringe-worthy. So it's fair to say this doesn't wholly work but it definitely passed the Mark Kermode 'five laughs' comedy test. Some great little vignettes, love the bitterness of Drivers character and Olivia Colman plays a fantastic relationship counsellor who is equally bitter about relationships. It's the sort of film I'd stick on for background amusement while doing the ironing or some other mundane chore.
