Plot Summary
Trust the Man is an unflinching yet winsome exploration of modern relationships, and modern men and women, in all of their humor, tragedy, imperfection and triumph. This smart, sophisticated comedy about the challenges of love and marriage follows the romantic escapades of two New York couples: successful actress Rebecca (Julianne Moore) and her Mr. Mom husband, Tom (David Duchovny); and her slacker younger brother Tobey (Billy Crudup) and 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.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: This comedy about two self-absorbed New York couples feels like wan Woody Allen.
Rotten: Trust the Man has a sketchy overall feel, as if Freundlich didn't finish thinking it through.
Rotten: Is this farce, drama, satire? Who knows?
Rotten: I wish the film were true to itself and its quartet of puzzled, struggling lovers; their collapse into sitcom idiocy felt uncomfortably close to betrayal.
Customer Reviews
Good movie!
This is a good movie. The acting is fantastic, and best of all--it remains true to a real life love story. Messy, complicated, and full of wrong (and right) choices. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a feel good movie without all the hollywood glamour--Just FYI, ther's a good amount of swearing and suggestive themes, so keep that in mind if you have young people present.
Everyone can relate!
This is one of those moveis that both of you can watch and appreciate! We've all been there and know the humor and angst of relationships... dead on! Laugh, cry and in-your-face truth! Great laughs.
Worth a look
Well constructed version of the classic love story. Good actors and acting.
