(aka "Shame, Actually"): it ain't high art, but this surprising portrait of sex addiction and solidarity is honest to the bone and ultimately even beautiful. it hits all of the expected beats in a vaguely schticky way, but does so with grace, helped enormously by a well-tuned cast that includes an effective josh gad (there's a first time for everything) a brusque tim robbins (toning down his Mystic River affectation into something that resembles an actual human being) and... most strangely of all... Pink, who does what's required of her and then some. and i guess it's fitting that i continue to find gwyneth paltrow to be cute as hell despite how much that makes me hate myself.
A romantic comedy about three sex addicts(Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins, Josh Gad)? Much more drama than comedy, The Hulk who is 5 years sex free falls in love with Pepper Potts(Iron Man was nowhere to be found), The general in Green Lantern has an alcohol and sex problem but has been sober for 15 years, while Olaf from Frozen is in the worst shape...sex free for 6 hours. Three of them try and survive each day as the struggle with their illness. First half is way better than the second...Josh Gad a poor man's Jack Black steals the show. An uneven but interesting movie.
Worry is just meditating on shit.

Decent performances, decent production value and decent directing don't add up to much when you're film about addiction has no consequences for it's main character if he falls off the wagon. Mark Ruffalo is Adam, a very successful professional (his character is so bland I don't even remember what he does) New Yorker who is a 5 year sober sex addict. The problem is that if he strays and goes back to his old ways for even an entire weekend it has no effect on his life. As long as he reigns himself back in life goes back to normal by Monday. So what's the point?
Why do film makers think that watching…
"Thanks for Sharing" is a dramedy about sex addicts that is neither dramatic enough to be striking or funny enough to be memorable. It is a solid, well-cast film, but it offers little in terms of originality or narrative value.
Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins, and Josh Gad star as addicts, former addicts, sponsors, and sponsees adrift in a world filled with temptation. Throw in some romance, thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow, some life lessons, and some healing, and what results is a familiar story where it is always darkest before the dawn for the protagonists. It is a nice story with some pitch black corners, but it is one that viewers have seen before.
The cast is deftly assembled, and Gad supplies some cheery and uncomfortable humor. The film's look is shiny and clear in contrast to its characters. Everything is professional but unremarkable. "Thanks for Sharing" is not a waste of time, but it is a missable experience nonetheless.
i heard a song by the mountain goats for the first time, and mark ruffalo was hot.
Pretty rude that when this movie *finally* gets actually sexy with Mark Ruffalo & Emily Meade's Daddy play, it goes completely off its very last rail.
