great movie about a bunch of robots at an alien planet's recreation of early 21st century America who start to malfunction and begin questioning their core programming
Hey diddle diddle, though some laughs in the middle, I lost interest far too soon. The plot full of cliché, despite a great Wilson display, its not surprising that Rudd ran away Witherspoon.
i can't stop thinking about how the poster for little women (2019, dir. greta gerwig) looks almost identical to this one
I love to hear strong dialogue delivered well. I like to watch actors collaborate with their screenwriter—here, that's James L. Brooks, who also directed—by investing their line readings with a zeal for the language. "Jesus!" cries Reese Witherspoon during a bad first date. "Do you know I don't know you?" She unwinds that sentence, lets us savor its palindromic rhythm, lets it bump up against the rest of the conversation. She embraces every word that's been written for her.
The priority that How Do You Know's ensemble grants its dialogue, especially when coupled with its intricate romcom plot, reminds me of Hollywood product from the 1930s and '40s. It's not far off from the material handled then by Cukor or…
Funny how so many legendary actors take their final bow in an unworthy vehicle. I'm thinking chiefly of Gene Hackman in 'Welcome To Mooseport', or Sean Connery in 'The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. Or the last decade of Marlon Brando's career being pocked with the likes of 'The Island Of Dr. Moreau' and 'Christopher Columbus : The Discovery'. Robert Redford bucked the trend with his perfectly judged, purpose-built valedictory exit in 'The Old Man And The Gun', and can count himself lucky.
Which brings us to 'How Do You Know', a largely unsuccessful and generally forgotten romantic comedy drama that nevertheless marks the last (to date) appearance of one Mr. Jack Nicholson. Which gives it a certain after-the-fact resonance. Now,…
Downright old-fashioned in its narrative structure but populated entirely with Brooks' patented massively self-critical, hyper-articulate neurotics struggling with growing awareness of their over-privilege and their fear of the potential lack of it. He's obviously always been a very idiosyncratic filmmaker but this whole movie occasionally resembles one big nervous tic, which I think is a good thing.
Worth it for the two minutes Paul Rudd gets drunk on Bloody Marys and sings to his lamp.
Nothing the characters do or say in this movie makes any sense. Most of the dialogue sounds really abrupt.
Content warning: This movie is a love triangle movie and one of the corners is Owen Wilson.
The secret to enjoying this movie - and I admit to finding it pretty winning - is assuming that the financial mismanagement which threatens to send Paul Rudd's character to jail involves producing a modern day romantic comedy set in 3 apartments, a restaurant, and an office to the tune of 120 million dollars.
this was so bad, i refuse to tell people reese witherspoon and paul rudd were in it.
I’ll give it one disapproving owen wilson “wow”
i almost forgot to add it here that's how forgettable this movie so sad!

Honestly fine and like every other rom com, but I was just so annoyed at how EASY every decision was to make ... like owen wilson or paul rudd? bruv come on
I lost interest after 20 mins, fell asleep briefly, woke up, fell asleep again instantly and eventually turned it off with 49 mins left to go. Shambles. Dont get drawn in by the cast - storyline literally makes no sense
Not the disaster it has been made out to be, but given the talent involved it's not great. Well cast, and they are giving it their all. But an odd script full of characters making odd decisions and scenes that don't land quite right. The actors charmed this movie up to three stars, but just barely
A terrible waste of Kathryn Hahn that feels like a poorly written stage play. Rudd's character speaks like a monologue machine and Nicholson plays himself the whole time. Reese Witherspoon is pretty solid. Not terrible, but the writing is painful to listen to
Sigh. For such a good preview,this movie didn't end up delivering much. There honestly wasn't even an ending!
A few good laughs were not enough to save this film,
This movie would have been much better without anything related to Owen Wilson's character.
