We Married Margo

It's one of those quirky films that you wind up absolutely loving.

After you've seen it a few times (usually on IFC), you stay until the very last scene (after the credits all roll) and wish you had the soundtrack for it.

Even though JD Shapiro reminds me of a young Bob from Becker, and Rock looks like the California beach boy, the story is fresh and the back and forth stuff works well.

One scene I loved which was kind of a throw away scene is when Jake is laying on the grass feeling lonely and the ducks go by and he's looking at them like, "Not you too." It was just a quick, passing scene that I liked a lot. I also liked the Christmas scene when they visit Rocks, him, the dog and the tree. I thought that funny.

Kevin Bacon does the six degrees of Margeaux and also adds a lot of great stuff to the soundtrack.

The voice of Margo is terrific (esp her laugh)...just a lot of fun, clever stuff. I really like this movie.

Very cool, funny, quirky movie. I wish it was on DVD and I wish I had the soundtrack!!!!!

Pay no attention to Xabbu's comments. This movie is a riot from the start. Fast paced comedy based on real life experiences between the two male leads, Rock & Jake,(William Dozier & J.D. Shapiro) and their mutual "ex", Margo. Jillian Johns does a great job as Jake's on again-off again girlfriend Tracy. One gathers the impression that Margo is a man-eater as she runs through partners quickly and ruthlessly. Cameos made by established Hollywood names sprinkled throughout the film lend an air of credibility to the story, though the leads are for the most part unknown talents. The movie is funny enough that I go out of my way to watch it every time it airs on Independent Film Channel (IFC) and I've probably seen it half a dozen times already. I would quickly purchase a copy of this film if it were available on DVD. If you need a movie to lift your spirits or just appreciate a good laugh, We Married Margo is for you.

What a great movie, a tangy, tasty slice of life, a dead-on combination of edgy, New York/Jersey everyman angst and West Coast/Left Coast laidback-but-so-very-self-awareness!! I laugh out loud every time I see this, anticipating lines and still enjoying them as they come up. The cameos are perfect. The rapid-fire pace may be exhausting as some critics have observed, but this is very typical of a NYer's conversational patterns. Anyone who's moved from one coast to the other and taken their city sensibilities with them, and anyone who's ever been a dumpER or a dumpEE will find something very familiar about the scenarios presented. Mr. Shapiro and Mr. Dozier should collaborate again; at any rate, I wish them both success in their respective romantic ventures!

Take the time to watch this very funny and very true story of two guys and their trials and tribulations with their common ex-wife.. If you have the independant film channel don't miss it.... Everything they is say is only funny because its true. We can all relate to the problems they face, i only wish i had a friend like Rock.... I hope they produce this film on DVD...

I love this movie and watch it whenever I see that it's playing on IFC.

It's one of those films I'd like to have in my DVD collection--easy & amusing through many viewings.

It never fails to lift my spirits.

That was the end of my review--short & sweet, but I see that I must write more in order to have my review included here, so:

The two stars (and writers) are wonderful. The celebrity cameos are fun & surprising. Fat Boy the dog is one of my favorite canine performers. Surely there's an award for him somewhere.

Unfortunately, this delightful film is not available on DVD. How is that possible? Surely there must be a cult following (even if small) for We Married Margo.
