Thanks for Sharing 2012

     Adam has been struggling with an addiction and he’s just reached the 5-year mark.  He’s had a lot of help from his sponsor Mike.  They both attend regular meetings for sex addiction.  They are both trying to help newcomer Neil.  He’s a young doctor who has worked hard on his profession but he’s struggling with harassing women at work, on the street and on the subway.  Adam has just met Phoebe but she has made it a rule to not date addicts.  She has problems with her own over extreme control of food intake and exercise addiction. 

     This film is very serious with a serious subject.  It’s listed as a comedy but there is nothing funny at all in this material.  The only actors letting go at all are Pink and Josh Gad.  The rest of the cast are completely involved in a self-help project.  3* (This movie is OK)  

112 min, Drama directed by Stuart Blumberg with Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins, Gwyneth Paltrow, Josh Gad, Joely Richardson, Patrick Fugit, Pink, Carole Kane, Emily Meade.

Note:  Imdb 6.4 out of 10, 49% critic 44% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert 2*.
