Celeste and Jesse Forever
audience Reviews
, 62% Audience Score- Rating: 2 out of 5 starsKind of an annoying post break up relationship movie. I really like Andy Samberg, but this movie is far more about Rashida Jones character. It is not as funny as it think it is, and not as original as it thinks it is. At the end of the day it is kind of forgettable. Had a solid cast but largely wasted here. Wish this was better. At the end of the day probably won't remember much. Oh well....
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsADORED this movie! My husband and I went thru a divorce and after 19 years we ended up back together. This movie told a beautiful story and funny that I could really relate to. Great acting. LOVED IT!
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsSometimes the end feels like the beginning of something else Director Lee Toland Krieger makes a romantic-comedy asking can two people actually last forever together or strictly as friends Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, Ari Graynor, Eric Christian Olsen, Emma Roberts, Chris Messina, Elijah Wood, and Chris Pine Jesse and Celeste have been friends for a long time Then they decide to date and eventually marry Celeste is a hard worker while Jesse is much more laid back But at a certain point they become separated So after 6 months when they both decide to see other people feelings might start stirring up again Actually one plot thread in here I wasn't expecting But makes sense in a way Both of the leads are so good playing polar opposites and slowly learning why they grew apart in the first place The film doesn't subvert the genre as much as it wants to, Emma Roberts' role feels severely underutilized, and I thought the ending really could've been better Yet Samberg and Jones' chemistry makes up for any shortcomings This also breaks away from the formula and manages to harness the heart while observing the absurd Rather unconventional yet feels real in all the right ways
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsVery solid performances from Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg. Funny, heartfelt, and real. Thoroughly enjoyable watch.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsShows that Samberg can do something beyond a comedic roles he usually reprises. It was a good pastime.

- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsReally likable leads and good supporting characters make this long break up rom-com a very nice watch. I won't remember it in even a few days, but it's perfectly consumable light entertainment when you need something like that. It isn't overly cute or formulaic so I think it holds really broad appeal.
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsI thought this was a very good movie, the actors were amazing! it's sweet sad and happy, you should definitely watch it!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsPlatonic and romantic. Well developed complications and a well thought out story line
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThis movie depressed me so effing much. I also loved it as much as it depressed me. The story and the acting are heartbreaking and I related so much. It's an amazing movie and I can't believe I didn't know of its existence. Also: proof that Andy Samberg's range is extremely extent and underrated.
