Plots(1)
Despite the fact that married high school sweethearts Celeste (Rashida Jones) and Jesse (Andy Samberg) have now separated, they continue to live next door to one another, are constantly kept up to date about what the other is up to, and spend almost every free minute together. Their lack of boundaries begins to irritate even their best friends who can no longer stand how close the "officially separated" couple remain. But when successful and self-confident Celeste asks not particularly driven and once again unemployed Jesse for a divorce, the difficulties begin. Jesse, who still loves Celeste, does not want an official end to their relationship. And then, over time, Celeste also begins to realise that she doesn't really want to let Jesse go, especially not with a new woman at his side. (official distributor synopsis)

Celeste and Jesse are absolutely great couple. They understand each other incredibly well, they are always together, they have fun and laugh together, like only few couples do. It will surprise you even more when you find out that these two are actually getting divorced. If they told you themselves, you wouldn't believe them. However, they argued and decided to get divorced, which somehow made everything alright. But alcohol has its own way and they end up in bed together. He wouldn't mind, he loves her, but she doesn't take it well. But then she realizes it, just before she has to leave for a while. Celeste wants to see Jesse because she also realizes that she doesn't really want a divorce. She comes back and they finally have time to talk. But Jesse tells her news that shakes her up. He is expecting a child with someone else. How is that possible?! She was only gone for two weeks! Well, infidelity shows up after some time, especially when it was unprotected. Suddenly, Jesse wants a divorce, he wants to be a father, but Celeste wants him. She loves him. And now we have a basic problem. How will the two of them actually end up? You will be on the edge until the end, wondering if they will stay together or if Jesse will choose his infidelity. Actually, it's quite a nice movie in some parts, it just stops being entertaining quickly. Then it's only about emotions, about how she can embarrass herself because he doesn't know what he really wants. It starts to become quite long and you only care about them finally resolving it so you can move on. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/01/divosi-10-years-divoka-stvoreni-lets.html

Rashida Jones made me really happy in this movie. I’m not sure why, but no matter what she did, I always somehow understood her behavior. And that’s why the movie was so pleasant to watch. Even Andy Samberg was okay. It was a pleasant piece for a relationship-based movie. It wasn’t that great or that bad either. And the open ending downright made me happy, because that’s exactly what life is like.
