I Do... Until I Don't
An ensemble comedy following three couples stuck in the web of a jaded filmmaker looking to prove that marriage should be a seven-year contract with an option to renew. From the acclaimed director of In A World comes I Do...Until I Don't featuring an all-star cast of Lake Bell, Ed Helms, Mary Steenburgen, Paul Reiser, Wyatt Cenac, and Dolly Wells.

Bell's film ends up stuck between being a standard audience-pleaser and something more subversive. For a movie about marriage, you wish it would commit one way or the other.

None of it is painful, the performances are all solid, but still ...

I Do... Until I Don't marks a strange turn from the characteristic creativity of Bell's previous efforts. It isn't as painful as breaking up, but it gets close.

Bell's script, which becomes too chaotic and cluttered in weaving together its storylines, features some scattered laughs but not much authenticity or insight into contemporary relationships.

It soon enough settles into a predictable sub-Love Actually ensemble piece in which none of the individual stories are fleshed out enough to be of much interest. To note that this was made by What's the Point Productions is just too easy.

Delivers a warmly satisfying resolution without showing how it gets there.

One essential detail keeps I Do...Until I Don't on the rails: Bell's eye behind the lens.
