A: A couple (Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) are smitten by each other in the first scene. Cut to the part where they're married and fighting and grasping at straws to keep the dream alive.
Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kathy Bates, Kathryn Hahn, David Harbour, Michael Shannon, Zoe Kazan, Dylan Baker, Jay O. Sanders, Richard Easton, Max Casella, Max Baker
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Proceed with Caution. This movie makes the point that marriage is a hopeless, desperate prison, in which people get locked so securely by the traditional entrapments of life's occurrences, that-- much like the vows say-- the only way out may well be death.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: Only if you're a confirmed bachelor or bachelorette. And even then, it's not the movie that will make you laugh, so much as all the idiots out there who were dumb enough to get married.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: No, but it might make you wish you were watching Titanic... And if you do that you might cry.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: The hype is there, but the feeling that this film will become a classic is not. Still, I wouldn't count out the score, which is good despite the fact that it's reminiscent of the score this director and composer turned in for American Beauty.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: I liked them better in Titanic, when they had the decency to die before getting a chance to get married and ruin all the romance.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: Sam Mendes consistently makes movies with poetic visuals and well though out composition. This is no exception.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: I haven't read the book it's based on, but I can tell from seeing the movie that the book is much more powerful. Maybe pick that up first, to get the full effect.
Q: Is there anything else worth mentioning about the movie?
A: Since I wrote this last night, Leonardo, Kate, and the movie itself have been nominated for Golden Globes. If any of them beat out the much stronger performances in their respective categories it would be a travesty.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
A: http://www.moviefone.com/search/revolutionary%20road/trailers

Good review, looks like the reunion of Leo and Kate wasnt all that great.
Don't take the GG's too seriously M. (No one else does.) It'll all be righted by the time Oscar rolls around.

I agree about the GGs, rp, it's kind of a joke. But I don't want to come down on them too hard, cuz they had the guts to nominate Tropic Thunder for a bunch of awards. So, I'm a little impressed.
