Editorial Review: Description: Overachieving actress, Rebecca (Moore), must come to grips with her failing marriage to stay-at-home dad, Tom (Duchovny). While Rebecca's slacker brother, Tobey (Billy Crudup), can't seem to commit to his aspiring novelist girlfriend, Elaine (Maggie Gyllenhaal). As both relationships spin out of control, the two couples embark on a hilarious quest to rediscover the magic and romance of falling in love in New York. Amazon.com: For a sex comedy, Bart Freundlich's fourth feature Trust the Man takes many of its cues from 1980s-era Woody Allen, but is neither as sexy nor as funny as intended. It's the tale of two couples. Rebecca (Julianne Moore, Freundlich's real-life wife) is an actress. Her husband, Tom (David Duchovny, Moore's Evolution co-star),  is a stay-at-home dad, much like Patrick Wilson's character in the considerably darker Little Children. The Manhattan dwellers have two kids. Fellow New Yorker Elaine (Maggie Gyllenhaal), an aspiring author, lives with Rebecca's brother, Tobey (Billy Crudup, sporting an ill-advised goatee), a sports writer. They've been together for seven years. Elaine is ready for marriage and a baby; Toby, not so much. Both men have roving eyes, Tom for single mother Pamela (Dagmara Dominczyk) and Tobey for ex-girlfriend Faith (Eva Mendes), a newlywed. Rebecca and Elaine, in their sincerity, may be more sympathetic, but all they ever seem to talk about is their unsatisfactory sex lives. Naturally, something has to give and it does--for all four. On the downside, Trust the Man finds Freundlich in a bit of a holding pattern. In retrospect, domestic drama The Myth of Fingerprints, Freundlich's first film, is still the writer/director's best. Though James LeGros and Duchovny pal Garry Shandling provide amusing cameos, the main reason to catch Trust the Man is for Duchovny himself in his most fully realized role since the inimitable Agent Fox Mulder--oddly likable despite his many faults. --Kathleen C.

Average Rating:
 Rating: - Trust the Man is a Waste of Talent.Trust the Man is a 2006 relationship film that wastes the talents of David Duchovny (The X-Files; Californication), Billy Crudup (Almost Famous), Julianne Moore (Boogie Nights; Magnolia) and Maggie Gyllenhaal (Secretary) on fart jokes. Set in Manhattan, it examines two troubled relationships. Rebecca (Moore) is a film actress married to Tom (Duchovny), a sex addict who gave up his career in advertising to become a stay-at-home dad. They meet with their ear-ringed therapist (played by Garry Shandling) ... Read More Rating:  - Better than I expected......based on the reviews here. Much of the credit for my surprise should go to the cast: all very good. I find it interesting to watch excellent actors (Moore, Duchovny, Barkin) flesh out new characters. Overall, despite flaws, this film is intelligent, and fresh just often enough to be worth watching. I cared about the fate of the two couples, particularly the Gyllenhall/Crudup duo. Sure, there were cliches, as in another parody of 12-Step and other support groups, and the "biological clock ticking" bit. ... Read More Rating:  - If you can't relate to this movie and or find humor in it... then your either a robot from the planet lame, or your too uptight to have a pulse in your veins. Now I'm not a fan of romantic comedies, and I'm not sure I can even classify this movie with that term, but this was for lack of other words... Awesome! I found myself laughing hysterically throughout and relating to many of the characters and the situations or predicaments they found themselves in. In essence, I can pretty much connect most of my friends to characters in this movie, and can easily ... Read More Rating: - Worth watching on HBO- worth $5 or $6 to buyI watched this on HBO and I would pay $5 or $6 to own it (for others to watch.) Its not a movie that you would want to spend $20 for or go to the movies to watch but worth a watch- I think its a good depiction of life. I enjoyed it though its not really a comedy or romantic but its a good portrayal of life and its issues in relationships and the such. Good premise and execution. I agree with the reviewer who said that it was under rated. Rating: - Trust the fact that this movie seems like a big act.Two couples going through rough times in their relationships. The movie was not bad, but it was not good either. There is a fakeness through the entire film due to the amped up dialogue, the actions of the characters and how the relationships play out. The story just doesn't hold up your interest. I did not find myself rooting for either couple. Instead, I hoped they found someone better. Moore plays a convincing character, a bit more likable than the rest. So does Gyllehall. Yet, borth Duchovny and Cudrup play ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
