Celeste and Jesse met in high school and got married young. They laugh at the same jokes and finish each other’s sentences.

Their only problem is that they have decided to get divorced. Can their perfect relationship withstand this minor setback?

Top critics, in their words
Fresh
The give and take here feels completely real, and each character is likable while also flawed and vulnerable.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Fresh
To its credit, "Celeste and Jesse Forever" wants to be more than a formulaic farce. It succeeds to the extent that the neighbors keep up with Jones.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fresh
A different kind of romantic comedy: one that starts at the end and tries to make sense of itself.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
Tries to blend chick flick staples with bro humor but never quite gets the mix right.
