beaumontenterprise.com has put out their review of the movie:
“The Jason Reitman’s film, adapted from Chad Kultgen’s novel, is about dreary faces in front of digital screens. A grim overview of the way the Internet, smartphones, sexting and all manner of cyber evils are corrupting our waking hours, “Men, Women & Children” makes “Frontline” look like a laugh riot by comparison.
Reitman’s suburban tale artfully weaves a handful of overlapping stories of lonely teenagers and their lonely parents in small town Texas, all of whom are unoble to summon a smile in the two hours of this dour, downbeat melodrama.
Reitman, who irreverent, whip-smart knack for personal foibles w
orked best in “Juno” and “Young Adult,” has instead made a resolutely glum movie — a “Crash” with clicks. He has a gift for finding empathy in the most unlikely of characters — the professional jerk of “Up in the Air,” the runaway convict of his last film, the disappointing “Labor Day” — and that generosity marks each character of “Men, Women & Children” with understanding.”I would have loved to have been there last night to finally watch it.
