Movie #242 "Ira & Abby" is a good romantic comedy because it offers something different to the genre -----the art of surprise because just when I thought I knew where it was going, I was surprised. And it made some good statements about the failings of the institution of marriage, and how hard it is to be truthful in this day and age, about love at first sight, the use of marriage counsellors and counselling vs. analyzing, and overall what makes a good marriage. Along with comedy and two very winning main characters, one of which wrote the script. Fred Willare, Frances Conroy, Robert Klein and Judith Light are the two sets of parents, and that added to the worth of the film, as well. Very enjoyable and believable in most of the situations.

Ira & Abby
(2006) R
A wry look at the insanity of married life, this offbeat comedy follows the ups and downs of a whirlwind romance between the brilliant yet neurotic Ira Black (Chris Messina) and the free-spirited but flaky Abby Willoughby (Jennifer Westfeldt). Hastily married after knowing each other for only a few short hours, Ira and Abby battle a series of misadventures that forces them to question just how real their love is.
