Celeste and Jesse Forever

Celeste and Jesse Forever is a 2012 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Lee Toland Krieger, written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, and starring Jones and Andy Samberg alongside Chris Messina, Ari Graynor, Eric Christian Olsen, Will McCormack, Elijah Wood, and Emma Roberts.

Another mutual friend, Skillz, agrees with Beth and Tucker and maintains that it is time for the two to move on with their lives.

Celeste is unhappy about Veronica’s pregnancy and expresses concern to Beth, who wonders if she is having second thoughts with regard to the divorce.

Celeste ultimately realizes her decision to divorce Jesse was impulsive and selfish and hopes to reunite with him.

Celeste initially believes she is upset because of a logo design that sparked unintentional controversy with her tween fanbase.

At Beth and Tucker's wedding, Celeste makes an emotional toast, urging the newlyweds to appreciate each other, be patient, and try hard, as she should have done in her own marriage.

On a karaoke date, Celeste informs Paul of her need to take some time to recover from her divorce, which he understands.

Celeste and Jesse Forever was screened at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival in January to mostly positive reviews.

The site's consensus states, "While it doesn't subvert the genre as incisively as it thinks it does, Celeste and Jesse Forever is a shrewd rom-com that benefits from its likable cast and trumpets the arrival of Rashida Jones as a bona fide big screen talent".

[8] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film an A− and concluded his review by stating: "I will say that it's been a while since a romantic comedy mustered this much charm by looking this much like life".
