Review of Take This Waltz (2011) by Steve L — 21 Sep 2012

Take This Waltz is a 2011 Canadian romantic comedy-drama film. The film centers on Margot, a 28 year old freelance writer who lives in a charming house on a leafy street in the Little Portugal section of Toronto, as she struggles with and examines her feelings for Lou, her husband of five years, while exploring a new relationship with Daniel, an artist and rickshaw driver who lives across the street.

I have to say, I was really excited to see this movie when I heard Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman were attached to co-co-star in this film. I am huge fans of the both of them, and, well, they did do pretty awesome. The chemistry between Seth Rogen and Michelle Williams is just great. When they were doing scenes together, it was just great. Super-funny stuff. I donâ(TM)t know if most of the lines they did were improvised or not, but they had really great chemistry when acting together, and it was pretty great.

The addition of Sarah Silverman who was also pretty great in it to. She didnâ(TM)t have as much screen-time as Seth and Michelle, but for the time she was on-screen she sure did make a great impact and was really entertaining, and she should do a lot more acting when she gets the chance. Seriously, she is pretty great. I have a massive crush on her too. Which is understandable. She is damn fine, and pretty awesome, and funny, too!

There really isnâ(TM)t much to say about Luke Kirby, I donâ(TM)t even really know who he was, but he wasnâ(TM)t that bad as Daniel, the new love interest of Michelleâ(TM)s character, Margot. His job as a person who is a Rickshaw driver wasnâ(TM)t that bad, but Seth and Michelle were of course the best of the film.

The majority of the story is about Margot trying to control her attraction to Daniel, and of course, trying to keep her life together with Lou, too. Who of course, is her husband, her loved one, so-forth. One of the funny things was a naked shower scene with Margot, Geraldine and most of the other swim class girls. Even though they were naked. They were really entertaining.

One of the weirdest scenes I thought in the movie was when Daniel and Margot were sitting in a cafe, and Daniel was describing out, and each movement-by-movement on what he would do to her sexually. Even though, the both of them just brush it off like a joke, which was pretty funny, because he was totally keen to fuck her, no doubt! And, well, in the closing montages of the movie, you can tell those two fucked, obviously.

Margot really does come off as a spoilt brat who just wants to leave her husband and fuck the new guy she has met, seriously, could she be any more of a bitch? Even though, Lou is really childish on the movie, he has a young heart and just wants to have fun, have a good time, and just be himself. Which is perfectly fine, too! But not when his wife, Margot, doesnâ(TM)t even tell him he is being childish⦠even when she leaves him! Because she is really weird. She, for some reason, doesnâ(TM)t like how Lou is always making chicken, which doesnâ(TM)t make all that much sense. He likes to make chicken, obviously! There is nothing wrong with that whatsoever!

There is really an awkward moment when Daniel gives a lift to Lou and Margot into the city for their date. You can just see the look on Margotâ(TM)s face when theyâ(TM)re sitting on the Rickshaw. She looks so nervous and just feels kind of weird⦠which is kind of understandable, seeing as she wants to fuck the guy that is actually giving them the lift. Which is obviously completely awkward for all involved. Once on their date, the both of them show a bit of hostility as their relationship begins to disband and, well, show signs of an end.

Lou inviting Daniel over to his house for a party was pretty funny, too. Daniel was contemplating to go or not, especially after Margot and Daniel had a fling the previous night, which, obviously, is really fucking awkward, and Daniel is the last person Margot wanted to see at her house⦠which is completely understandable. Whether she likes it all not, she is a cheating bitch who obviously has fucked up big time!
