Kind of a weird story about not accepting unhappiness, that makes you feel the worst for the guy who's doing the best at getting by. But i guess the point is that a marriage where one person is that unhappy doesn't really make sense for either of them? The main theme is that everyone needs someone to lean on when things get bad, and that's when family can come through (if you're lucky). While all this heavy stuff is going on, it's very distracting how good of a comedy Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader are making on the side. Just letting them goof off in the dental office is the best part is the movie, though some of the snarky lines throughout were pretty funny too.
