Steph and I saw this on Saturday night at the Bytowne, which was pretty packed. The trailers make it seem like a comedy, and although there are a few funny lines, it's actually a pretty depressing film. Anne Hathaway puts in a strong leading performance, which will probably grab her an oscar nomination, which is clearly what she was gunning for in most of her big scenes. So, despite not being the comedy I thought it would be, overall teh film was pretty strong. Plus it's nice to see Debra Winger in a film again.
Fun Fact: the dishwasher scene is based on a real (and apparently more prolonged) agrument between Sidney Lumet (father of screenwriter Jenny) and Bob Fosse.
