A light-hearted meditation on the cares and commitments of adulthood, Bart Freundlich's rom-com drama is a witty, ultra-contemporary vision of urban love. Two Manhattan couples...
more...enjoy complicated relationships: Tom and Rebecca (David Duchovny and Julianne Moore) are a glamorous married couple with two kids and a troubled sex life; Rebecca's best friend, Elaine (Maggie Gylenhaal), is in a long-term relationship with Rebecca's brother, Tobey (Billy Crudup), who is also Tom's best friend. Tom has recently quit his advertising job to be a stay-at-home dad, and Rebecca is a successful actress with a depleting libido; thus, despite the couple's obvious closeness, Tom's porn consumption and general distraction have increased considerably. Meanwhile, Elaine juggles a stressful job in publishing and a fledgling career as a children's-book author, while Tobey's job as a copywriter is considerably less demanding. It is soon evident that Tobey has never quite grown up, and when Elaine decides that she wants to get married and have kids, she realizes she'll have to do it with someone else. The turmoil that ensues contains a number of hilarious, emotionally charged encounters between friends and lovers, and an undeniably romantic conclusion. The tale unfolds anecdotally in a style of verbal-sparring that recalls Woody Allen; so too does the preponderance of recognizable New York locations, in a view of the city that makes the most of its charms. The movie also boasts well-executed cameos by Ellen Barkin as an imperious publisher, James LeGros as an eccentric songster, Eva Mendes as a temptress from Tobey's past, and Garry Shandling as an earringed therapist.

Trust has to be Earned
Review of Trust The Man (DVD) by afy9mab

Advantages: You might pick up some interior design ideas from the characters' homes.
Disadvantages: Exceedingly dull and full of lazy perfromances.

Trust me it is not worth watching it
Review of Trust The Man (DVD) by D_i_a_n_e

Advantages: a few funny plots
Disadvantages: poor acting, bad screenplay, predictable

I hesitated to write a review on this film or not. Although there are great actors in this film I don’t think it was a good story I can highly recommend. It wasn’t as bad to say avoid watching it, actually it was the most neutral film I have ever seen. This film was made in 2006 and I haven’t heard about it until last week. A friend of mine mentioned it, so I decided to watch it. It was written and directed by Bart Freundlich. I checked the list ... Read review

Don't let the glamorous cast fool you,its rubbish
Review of Trust The Man (DVD) by zara86

Advantages: Stellar cast, amusing in places.
Disadvantages: Pointless script, cheesy, characters lack moral resolution

I bought this film on the merits of its A-list cast only, having never really heard of it before. I mean, a film with David Duchovny, Julianne Moore, Maggie Gylenhaal and the mighty Billy Crudup in its leading roles surely wouldn't dissapoint?? Alas, it did. The worst thing about this film is the script. I have no idea how much the cast were paid but it must have been a lot to entice them to act in such a poorly written farce of a film. The story ...
