"A.C.O.D."

 2013 * R * 1h 28m  If you're looking for a whacky, action-packed rom-com, don't miss this one. It features an all-star cast which includes Adam Scott, Richard Jenkins, Catherine O'Hara, Jane Lynch, and Amy Poehler. It's well-written, unpredictable, and just plain fun to watch. 

When Carter (Scott) finds out his younger brother is getting married, he's charged with getting his divorced parentsHugh (Jenkins) and Melissa (O'Hara) to at east be on speaking terms at the upcoming wedding. As if that wasn't problematic enough, he finds out he was part of a study done by Dr. Judith (Lynch) about Adult Children Of Divorce (A.C.O.D.) and is looking do do a follow up book on the subject. 

The movie is non-stop shenanigans and it's almost exhausting keeping up with what's going on on screen. But it's a mindless, hour and a half of entertaining movie-viewing. 

3 1/2 our of 5 stars
