Two couples demonstrate that breaking up can be just as hard as staying together in this romantic comedy drama. Rebecca (Julianne Moore) and Tom (David Duchovny) are a seemingly happy married couple living in New York City -- she's a successful actress, while he stays home with the kids. However, beneath the surface, things are not going well. Rebecca is no longer amused with her husband's appetite for porn and constant sexual demands, while he's seriously considering having an affair. Rebecca's brother Tobey, (Billy Crudup), is in a more openly dysfunctional relationship; he's been dating Elaine (Maggie Gyllenhaal) for seven years but has no interest in marriage, while she's desperate to settle down and start a family. Tobey and Elaine decide to call it quits, as Tobey hooks up with an old friend from college (Eva Mendes) who is looking to cheat on her husband, and Elaine starts dating a handsome musician (James LeGros) who may be in need of a green card. Meanwhile, Rebecca and Tom go into couples therapy, which creates as many problems as it solves. Trust the Man also features Ellen Barkin, Garry Shandling, and Bob Balaban. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    It was not the best or worst movie. I would not tell anyone they need to see it. I could have spent my morning watching something else more interesting than watching this movie.

    Yes   |   No

    It was an interesting story if you like movies that are based more on real life than fantasy. The characters are sort of bouncing around in life not really connected in a real meaningful way until they are forced to decide what they really want in a partner.

    Yes   |   No

    I would not recommend this movie!!! I kept watching because it said comedy but I didn't find any comedy to this movie!! It reeks of pretentiousness with these NY "downtown" people! Who told both Julianne Moore and David Duchovney they were remotely funny?? Same goes for Maggie Gyllenhaal!!! Billy Crudup stinks and all I can think of when I see him is how he left Mary Louise Parker during her pregnancy and how he isn't credible at all in this picture! All in all a terrible movie!!!!

    Yes   |   No
