Max is a real jerk. A long time ago, the successful lawyer had turned over all the routine duties of family life to his wife Nathalie.His comfort and leisure time were a far greater priority.

No way!But then, Max’s fast-paced life suddenly screeches to a halt when Nathalie is hospitalized for several weeks with a complicated fracture.Alone with their two children and the dog he hates, Max quickly reaches the boiling point.As if having to play father was not bad enough, he is shocked to the core when he discovers passionate love letters written to his wife and signed “From G. in love”. Feeling that his life is slipping out of control, Max’s first impulse is to find out who his rival is. Then it dawns on him – could the way he has treated his wife be the reason why she has sought out another lover?Now Max attempts to see his situation from a different point of view. Last week he was ready to plan the yearly guys’ vacation he takes with his best buddy, but now things have changed.Max recognizes just how much he needs Nathalie’s humor, her organizing talent and her optimism, but also just how important to him she and his family really are. Max tries to discover the mysterious lover’s identity, but because of his new insight, he takes an additional step.Unfortunately, when he learns that the mystery man is Gregor, Max realizes that not only does the man have all those qualities - he is very attractive as well. His struggle to become a better husband and father suddenly becomes far more difficult.Hoping to knock Gregor out of the picture and get back in Nathalie’s good graces, Max makes an appointment with a successful life coach. But turning his life around is far more difficult than he had imagined.To make matters worse, Gregor turns out to be a loving, family-oriented man just what Nathalie needs. Max is desperate – he knows there is a real chance that he might lose Nathalie and the children.Willing to put everything on the line to keep his family intact, Max makes the biggest sacrifice of his life. Then something happens that is the very last thing he could have ever counted on…
正常人过正常日子的故事，难得是难得在衬得另一种北方/官方/爹味叙事多么笨拙陈旧，无药可救。
并不是宣传话语中的女性视角，而是有意无意地对标了《老炮儿》。当然上海没有北京老炮儿，上海有的是上海爷叔。该片面子是上海闲话的讥诮凉薄和市井人情，里子是两个老男人的春梦。比较难得的是并没有对所谓上海腔调真的沾沾自喜，而是用一种善意的调侃演绎了人到中年的苍凉，在嬉戏自嘲中流露了一抹深情，上一次有类似观感的影片还是伍仕贤的《独自等待》。
沪上小机灵：电子烟之于导演、男导演之于徐峥，以及楼梯上就挂着爱情神话油画还说看不懂！上海老洋房里喝酒比《百年酒馆》热闹，也更贵啦。支持女导演输出，没有把老男人急得跳脚的女导演的人生是不完整的。ps.看着话剧抹眼泪的马伊琍，看到“罗马坍塌了”抹眼泪的我直呼seer！
灵啊灵啊！太好看了，和上海的城市气质浑然天成，是想要打飞的去魔都的电影院再去看一次的程度。“女人没有甩过一百个男人的人生是不完整的”，“我现在是最好的状态：有钱有闲，老公失踪”，“我只不过犯了所有男人都会犯的错误”，爽死谁了？爽死我了。爱情神话在捕风捉影间，生活的笑泪在最心酸的深处。有被击中，为那份真诚可贵的认同和理解。btw，原来上海小资文青聚众看费里尼也是会打瞌睡的，我不必为自己羞愧。
1.老乌的死起到了承上启下的作用，顺水推舟了，但是真的是不明不白，让人摸不到头脑。2.儿子的存在太让人尴尬了。
感觉这剧本是坂元裕二写出来的，当然还有这北电戏文专业练就的会写段子的伶牙俐齿。最后的镜头挺好，最让人感动的老乌的故事感觉像是“青年破处”版广岛之恋。
难得看到国产片的对话这么机灵。这东一棒槌西一锄头的，愣是把生活凿开了呐。
我很喜欢这部电影。全程吴侬软语，我一个东北人听得太开心了，感觉整个魂魄都跟着这些俏皮话飞来荡去。倪虹洁，马伊琍，吴越，徐峥…看着他们饭桌上的修罗场，暗藏心思，挑起话头，真棒。
骨子里是大型的情景喜剧，妙在剧本、 对白、演员的拿捏。剧中的语音很罕见的是生活的语言。但这剧的成功和矛盾都在与此。因为完完全全是虚构的人物和场景。没有一个年届50的中年艺术男会住在这样的弄堂里（我的家人依然还有住在那样地方的），更别说展开浪漫了。一方面人为的感觉很强烈，另一方面又带来了久违的喜剧张力。导演似乎很乐意把自己定位在这里（而不是任何艺术高度，影片里有好几处这样的机会）。公允地说，我觉得片子很成功，让我放声大笑。最后，配乐太糟糕了。
怎么能差成这样：視角混亂、鏡頭語言一塌糊塗、音樂濫用、美學東拼西湊、各種段子和抖機靈、導演功力為0全靠演員演技支撐。
没有爱情也没有神话，只有一群有钱有闲的上海中年男/女人的浪漫生活。音乐强加分也强减分，在生活与艺术之间来回横跳。
所以B先生忙起来是应该的[捂脸][捂脸][捂脸]
昨天看完电影《爱情神话》，今天还在回味。
没有爱情，没有神话，有一个美好的略微欧洲化的上海，但并没有因此让人感觉不舒服。在这个插满红旗的地方，难得看到如此特立独行的上海，真美好。
没有审美、没有思考、没有信念，只有每天都能看到的人精和他们的一地鸡毛
关于爱情那些点点讨论，认不认同其实都好，鞋匠那句话说的挺好，没有值不值得，只有喜不喜欢。导演确实是博学多识，文艺范儿举手投足间俯仰皆是，还不忘夹杂点市井气，啥都有一点，疯也是正好，灵也是正好，那些东西看似都是曾见过的，却都不在意料之中。
填补了华语电影多处的空白：地域/方言（南方&吴语）电影，城市中年爱情，不俗套的台词片，有几处恍惚看到了侯麦，估计还是太久没看到灵的华语电影了
的确是一个情感细腻的电影，都在细微之处，而生活大多时候哪有波澜壮阔，都是细节构成的。。。
在上海取景的电影很多，但全篇台词上海话，又把上海话里的口语运用到位且换作其他方言则没办法发挥到极致的电影就不多见了，（虽然字幕翻译并没有办法完全展现出部分用词的幽默精髓），尽管没有地域限制，但本土观众多多少少占点优势。
好久没有看到剧本写得如此有趣巧妙的国产电影了，可以碾压大部分无脑商业爱情片的对白，也好过某些文艺片故作深沉的便秘腔调。
