催票系列第二波（好心酸啊....還要催票）
看看眾影評是怎麼說的吧！！


Reelfilm (2.5/4顆星)

Trust the Man is a cute but thoroughly underwhelming little romantic comedy
revolving primarily around two key couples - the seemingly happily married
Tom (David Duchovny) and Rebecca (Julianne Moore), and Tobey (Billy Crudup)
and Elaine (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who have been dating for eight years.

The film doesn't break any new ground, but for a while, it's enjoyable
enough.

Writer/director Bart Freundlich imbues the movie with an appropriately
light-hearted touch, while the various actors deliver charming, engaging
performances (something that is particularly true of Duchovny, who proves
beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is ideal leading man material).

Ebert & Ropert 的代班影評給了Two Thumbs DOWN....
不過說了這幾句話：
"My problem with TTM isn't that it's shallow because, you know, I've seen
worse. For me it commits the double felony: first it squanders the talents of
Moore, Gyllenhall and especially David Duchovny who carries this movie with
his charm and his dry wit. This guy is talented and deserves way better than
this!"

"Don't trust the man, although David Duchovny, I want to say is very, very
good in this movie"

[...]Both geographically and thematically speaking, writer-director
Freundlich finds himself on vintage Woody Allen turf here -- as in the
"Manhattan"/"Husbands and Wives" Woody Allen -- while still managing to
lend the production a unique voice of its own.

And Allen would've killed for Freundlich's terrific cast.

It's a real kick seeing Julianne Moore playing it for laughs for a change,
and she's such a natural you wish she'd have signed on to do comedies years
ago.

The same can be said for Crudup, a usually intense actor who plays things
loose and loopy as the delightful Gyllenhaal's slacker b.f., while Duchovny
looks to be really enjoying himself on screen for the first time in a long
while.

[...]

Bottom line: A swell ensemble puts the final polish on a sparking romantic
comedy.

[...] Duchovny gives his most vulnerable performance of his career.
It's a shame that some people will always look at him as "that guy from
that alien tv show." He has so much more to offer.

[...]I'm not sure that many people will end up seeing Trust the Man, and
that's a shame (the crappy title doesn't help the case either). The problem
is that it doesn't fit into the cookie cutter plot. It's something different.
It's not even a Romantic Comedy, it's a Romantic Dramedy. The characters and
the comedic moments that spill from their experiences is what makes this
film shine. Trust the Man is a movie that any Twenty-something or
Thirty-something couple will thoroughly enjoy.

Although Freundlich has always worked with terrific ensemble casts, this one
sings much more harmoniously. David Duchovny has never been so
self-effacingly funny as he contends with a perpetual itch that he can't
scratch. Julianne Moore (Freundlich's wife) gives an astonishingly controlled
performance that's both radiant and as coarse as sandpaper. Maggie Gyllenhaal
has some of the off-beat charm and beauty of a young Diane Keaton. Billy
Crudup, who gave a remarkable and unheralded performance last year in "Stage
Beauty," is equally terrific as a boy trapped in a man's body. (He suggests a
mild-mannered Jack Black.) "Trust the Man" earns its good faith with the
audience.

And if it works for you, it's a good bet that the cast was part of the sell.
All four leads are well-known-ish indie actors who've flirted with mainstream
stardom for years. They've worked with each other before (Duchovny and Moore
in Evolution; Moore and Crudup in World Traveler) -- and writer-director
Freundlich is Moore's partner and co-parent, so the production is certainly
close to home.

But each actor gets to move out of their comfort zone a little, too: Duchovny
gets to be scraggly; Moore gets to be a centered mother (and for once let her
art imitate her life); Gyllenhall gets to be gamine and sexy, and Crudup gets
to make an absolute ass out of himself.

Cinematical (劣評)

To his credit, Duchovny takes a role that could have been played as a
straight cad, and adds layers of depth and conflict to him that make him
likable in spite of his cheating ways. Tom isn't cavalier about cheating on
his wife, or even about surfing for internet porn. He seeks out help from a
sex addicts' group and he tries to puzzle out why on earth he's risking his
marriage and family by filling his emptiness with sex. If Freundlich's script
kind of gives Tom a free pass on the affair (and Freundlich swore at the
junket that the character of Tom -- the writer married to the famous actress
-- is not him), well, that's not Duchovny's fault.

Oprah Magazine ("O") :

"It's a sheer pleasure to watch David Duchovny as a desperate househusband
in the romantic comedy TRUST THE MAN. With flawless timing and a sly smile,
the former X-Filer steals the show - impressive, considering he shares the
screen with Julianne Moore, Billy Crudup, and Maggie Gyllenhaal."

Trust isn't quite a movie. It's more like a gigantic tidbit, a Tic Tac of a
film, minus the minty sensation--minus any real sensation, in fact. And
that's a shame. Director Bart Freundlich has an amazing cast: his wife
Julianne Moore, the talented Billy Crudup and the affable,
don't-you-wish-he-was-your-husband David Duchovny. Yes, Maggie Gyllenhaal is
in this, but we hardly even notice.

GO. SEE. DAVID. GO!
