if we observe the title of this film is very unique and ironic, why, because this film tells how the process of a divorce in the household. The divorce process is undertaken by a pair of role artists: the husband is a talented young theater director, and the wife is a Los Angeles film actress who moved to the New York theater with her husband. You know what, the reasons they want to get divorced, it starts from emotional conflict, place of residence, to the subject matter of each partner's profession. On its journey, this film in great detail depicts these two characters on one side in a sympathetic position, but in another story there are also moments that both of them are antipathy, especially when during the divorce process they both are known to have entered into the realm of law. In the dynamics of such a household travel story, Johansson and Driver as the main characters perform their duties very, very well and you can see in playing the roles of the two of them without any blemishes, they use their expressions and emotions as the motor that brings the story to life, both when the mood is relaxed even witty, as well as high tension.
