Between Us 2012

Between Us     This film is adapted from an off-Broadway play.  Two years prior, Grace and Carlo were invited to the home of Sharyl and Joel.  At this time Grace and Carlo were newlyweds.  Sharyl and Joel have been married longer and they have a baby son.  They were having marriage problems and contemplating a divorce.  Because of the terrible visit they had, Grace and Carlo decided not to see Sharyl and Joel again.  Now, Sharyl and Joel stop by unexpectedly to see Grace and Carlo.  Sharyl and Joel have repaired their marriage and are very happy.  Grace and Carlo are having a lot of money problems, they have a child now and Grace is expecting another child.  Things go well in the beginning but fall more apart than the first time.
     This is very hard to watch and I’m surprised I was able to slog through to the end!!  Arguing back and forth at almost every moment!!  At first, arguing between Sharyl and Joel, then between the four of them at the second visit.  I hope that this was better as a play, it's terrible as a movie?  2* (I didn’t like this movie)
