Life Partners is a 2014 American romantic comedy drama film directed by Susanna Fogel and co-written with Joni Lefkowitz.
The film stars Leighton Meester, Gillian Jacobs, Adam Brody, Greer Grammer, Gabourey Sidibe, and Julie White.
When Paige has a big win at work, he whisks her off to a celebratory dinner, thwarting the surprise party Sasha had organised.
After spending some time in a bridal shop with her domineering mother trying on wedding dresses, Paige realizes she learned to be too stubborn from her.
She goes home and first finally admits to the neighbor that she's at fault for having run into his parked car days ago, then apologizes to Tim.
[6] The film is an adaptation of the play Life Partners, written by Lefkowitz and Fogel based on their friendship and similar to the one depicted in Walking and Talking by Nicole Holofcener.
The site's consensus reads: "With two appealing leads adrift in a sitcom-worthy plot, Life Partners doesn't do quite enough to earn viewers' commitment.
[10] Ronnie Scheib of Variety praised the lead performances: "Jacobs fully inhabits her less-than-completely-sympathetic role with warmth and just the right touch of unconscious entitlement, while Meester luminously expands the film's affective core.
"[11] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Life Partners boasts a sweetly relaxed vibe that makes it go down easily thanks to the witty screenplay by Fogel and Joni Lefkowitz and the highly appealing performances by Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) and Gillian Jacobs (Community).
