Review of Life Partners (2014) by Robert I — 13 Dec 2014

This is the type of indie comedy I normally hate, but this one actually hit points with me that stuck. It found the life moments I could relate to. But the real strength of the film is that it manages to tell a movie with double protagonists and not lose sight of either. Both Jacobs and Meester are likeable and carry the film both together and separately. Both characters have storylines that remain interesting. It was a world I enjoyed being in and left me wondering what theyâ??ll be up to after it ended.

The structure jumps around through time scene-to-scene, but the result worked for me. Less so with critics. Go figure.
