Better Living Through Chemistry

I would also change my tune on adultery after being balls-deep in Olivia Wilde! Is there anyone who wouldn't? I can't get over the Pauly Shore x Dana Carvey vibe that I get off of Sam Rockwell. Kinda takes me out of some scenes, but that's my own fault. It's a little off the beaten path tonally, which I always tend to like, and at the end of the day I was entertained. Some things are contrived, simple, convenient, stereotypical, or "could have been done better", but, I definitely enjoyed it.

Enjoyable, though I wish to see both Sam and Olivia in way better movies than this one.

Better Living Through Chemistry is uncompelling, uninteresting, and un-something-else. It's a mix-and-match of genres but comes across as too hollow to make any portion of it particularly worth seeing. That can happen to first-time writers and directors, which is exactly what the writing/directing team of Geoff Moore and David Posamentier are. They have a strong cast who look lost and bored, and a story that's not particularly compelling or sure of itself.

i don't know if the message "become a better person by consuming a shitload of various drugs" has much public appeal, but i don't think i would've acted any differently in doug's situation. the whole plot with his kid is awfully contrived, though. of course there's the obligatory swing of the moral club in the end, but it's quite neglectable. points for sam rockwell, he uplifts every movie, although this is far from his best. also olivia wilde is one tempting piece of you know what. it's ass.
