Reviewnotreview: Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012)

So the movie is not a happy ever after.
Even starts with the divorce of the main characters.

Which reminds me that life doesn’t always went as you think, or predicted.

A short synopsis, Celeste (Rashida Jones) and Jesse (Andy Samberg) are best friends for life, they got married but it didn’t go well. Then they got divorced, yet Jesse still stay at Celeste’s guest house (a shack in her yard). Celeste is a success career woman and Jesse is an artist who got no job. Around 6 months after their divorce, Jesse somehow impregnant a women, Veronica, a Belgian women and he is moving out from Celeste’s house. Celeste didn’t expect that Jesse will meet someone before she does, and got pretty shocked. The movie is about how Celeste get over with her feelings for Jesse and moving on with her life.

I can’t really explain why, but this movie touch my heart. Break ups and divorces are things that some people have to get through, and this movie told on of the version, where friends who got in love, and got divorced, can still be friends (though I can’t really relate and I don’t know if I can be like that if it happened to myself lel).

And how Celeste getting over her feelings for Jesse. Her speech at her friend’s wedding about regrets.
How she tries to accept her bad sides and tries to change. It’s good.

My favorite actor, Andy Samberg is in the movie so I watched it out of curiousity. But it turns out that his acting is good and lovely. Getting divorced, yet still in love with Celeste. On the other side he have a huge responsibility of being soon to be a father and he can’t abandon that. Saw many great expressions of his in the movie.

Overall, a nice movie about break up and the process of getting over it. Reality is harsh. Young Mr. Samberg is cute.
8/10
