Celeste and Jesse Forever

Pretty charming and well made, feels pretty familiar though, outside the divorced aspect.

A decent movie. Enjoyed watching the two main characters interact with one another.

Felt like it could of been much more but its mostly enjoyable.

The movie tries to walk a fine line between trying to not end up being a romantic comedy. The movie tries to be mature about it as the characters mature in their relationship. The characters played by Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg are good and they have good on screen chemistry. The rest of the characters feel weak. It is over all a decent movie.

I enjoyed Celeste and Jesse Forever. It feels realistic, it has strong writing and well-developed main characters, very strong acting -- specifically from Jones and surprisingly from Samberg -- it looks great despite being a relatively cheap indie film, and it's funny and sweet at all the right moments. I can imagine that even those who dislike rom-coms will find something to like in this one. I recommend that you check it out if you're looking for a slightly different romantic comedy.

A fun and unique take on romance, but hilarious and heartbreaking. Jones is excellent.

I guess it was an ok movie.

I liked seeing a different side of Andy Samberg in this, and Rashida Jones is great. I love the theme of the movie, that the love of your life isn't necessarily the one you're meant to be with. Very refreshing.

Ok, not spectacular.

A pretty good film about relationships and maturing through life's transitional points, with some comedy thrown in. The stakes never feel real, though, and it doesn't strike that special chord with me. The acting is fine, but it's more on the comedic side and doesn't match the more melancholy tone of the script. A fun enough movie.

The film does its best to subvert the romantic-comedy genre. In some respects, it succeeds, as it treads ground I haven't seen in those films, and I've seen a lot of romantic-comedies. The screen chemistry between Jones and Samberg is exceptional, and each holds his or her end of the movie up very well. Conversations seem natural, and silences feel comfortable. Supporting characters are mostly pretty good, but the realness of the main characters makes everyone else feel like a movie cliche.

The idea was good, but the indie-ness ruined it for me.

the woman who plays celeste was so real. she made the movie and her couple friends.

A cute film with Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg. The two did a fine job but this movie didn't blow me away. It just remained at a lukewarm pace throughout. I laughed out loud a few times but I just felt like the movie had no meat to it and left me wanting more. I just felt unsatisfied. I liked that Eric Christian Olsen, Elijah Wood, Emma Roberts and Ari Graynor were in this, but even their cameos didn't help the movie. It was just delightful fluff. I didn't hate it and I didn't love it.

One of the best non-romantic comedies ever. I was blown away by Rashida Jones. I've always liked her, but I'm so glad she was able to get this movie made.

This one has it's aw-inducing moments, like we were all waiting for. Unfortunately, there's a lot of empty space in this movie, and despite some great performances, the whole package just didn't get it done.

A.Samberg is an annoyingly awful wooden wreckage in a role that screams for someone like Chris Pratt, and that and some of the lesser parts in the script are dragging this down. Thankfully this is mainly about Rashida.J's character, and here she gets to be more than perfectly pretty - and convincingly delivers; add in a likable support and a dark-light mix of some quality (not nearly up there with Rashida though...), and this is charmingly flawed. *Preview*:#13#, story, reviews, Rashida.J/6,

As Celeste gets increasingly unlikable, so does the film.

Had the potential to be the perfect film. A proper story for once, not a film about twisted people, despair and violence (inner and outer), but a story about someone trying to live their life as best they can and learning something out of it. However, there were some let downs, which were all the more dissapointing because of the potential it posessed. It ran on a bit too long, there were a number of possible points of resolution, leaving us hanging. Instead the movie brought us forward a bit mo

Truly sincere, gentle and heartwarming film about post break-up situations, getting depressed, happy or just overwhelmingly uncomfortable about stuff we don't control, but that is possible to manage without tearing our lives apart. It's also about the power of a loving friendship.

The main characters are likable, and the screenplay features a strong female lead that is often self-actualized and seemingly real (with a stumble when they play for heavier laughs in Act 2). But that's about all that is positive - the side characters are terrible and there is a mild identity crisis when it doesn't know if it should be heavy on the relationship dramedy or a straight-up comedy with big, situational laughs. The former works - the latter doesn't.

Not a laugh-a-minute comedy, but I was surprised how many times I laughed out loud. Good performances, enjoyable plot and comedy, look forward to more of Rashida Jones' and Will McCormack's scripts.

Jones and Samberg have a fantastic chemistry, but the film tries too hard to be quirky. It's frustrating because you can feel the elements of a great film in there, and if it had committed fully to its honest look at love and relationships it maybe could have been. But instead it tries to be clever, and ends up being a fairly trivial piece of filmmaking because of it.

Under the hipster veneer, this is actually a pretty good relationship comedy which for once is about accepting your lot and moving on, even if it means giving up that Hollywood "true love" dream. Bittersweet but somehow real.

A solid romantic comedy that takes an unusual tack, following the amicable disintegration/aftermath of a long term relationship. Surprisingly for a film of this genre the cinematography is a real standout. Soundtrack is quite good as well. I'm not sure I completely buy the film's tone, the 'in jokes' or Andy Samberg in a fairly serious role. A variety of decent bit parts, including Elijah Wood.

How can a 90 minute film feel like 3 hours??? Bah! Besides the "giving hand jobs" to inanimate objects part, this so called comedy lacked, well, comedy. I was bored most of the way through and struggled to finish it. A real shame since I'm a fan of both Jones and Samberg. Best part was the end credits song, where I found out that Biz Markie's "Just A Friend" was an interpolation after all these years! I'll forget this film by 2021.

Although I am glad to see Rashida Jones is a decent screenwriter, Celeste and Jesse Forever is much, much too long and tries to accomplish more than it can possibly imagine. That is not to say it is a poor film; it simply lacks the coherent flow that is essential for a "great" movie. Simplicity can do wonders in film making, while over-ambition can cause a film to crumble under its own weight. On a positive note, Will McCormack delivers the funniest line about a Baby Bjorn ever.

Just not that great, despite being funny at times and having a pretty good cast.

very funny 10 out of 10

I mean, I knew Rashida Jones had it in her but...didn't expect this. Amazing performance. :o Glad to see Andy Samberg act natural for once as well. :P And kudos to the writers (and actors, first of all Rashida Jones) for pulling of a story like that.

Stylized and Sweet.

There's a lot to like about Celeste and Jesse Forever. I really like what it's doing stylistically, and the casting was good across the board. It was nice to see Rashida Jones in a meatier lead role, and for Andy Samberg to do something less overtly comedic. That said, as much as the screenplay tries to subvert things it ultimately suffers from the weight of one too many genre conventions. As far as Rom-Coms go its definitely better than average, but it had the potential to be even better.

Sweet and touching romantic movie, although the story was a little flat. Overall good acting and very good music score.

I think there was a lot of potential for this movie, but the ending just feels too abrupt, and doesn't feel earned to me.

Very disappointing. It's like watching 90 minutes of an inside joke that you're not part of.

Do you find sarcasm and pretentiousness especially hilarious? I don't. That's what made 'Celeste and Jesse Forever' so hard to sit through. Everything in this flick comes off as if it's above you & everything you know. Celeste and Jesse are both terrible people who belong with no one ever. The film tries to make the point that the characters are wrong-headed by believing themselves to be smarter than everyone else, but by the time this happens, you're already over-saturated with hipster-vitriol.

This was a trash ending, it could uave been great. But nahh. Just follow the same recipe but with various stories and characters but never change the ending to that. Uhhh. Just like twilight with picking edward over jacob- honestly

Rashida Jones was marvelous. Andy Samberg was better than usual. Their post breakup relationship was perhaps too good. I enjoyed most of the movie. A few odd side stories were tossed in & a few characters who are rather hilariously flawed. Some funny moments. The writing is smart. It mostly flows nicely and doesn't get stale.

One of my favourite couples on screen and could care less about anything else.

I think this is the most relatable movie I've seen recently.
