Hollywood has trained audiences to expect a film s leads to end up together. That s part of what writer and director Nikole Beckwith has to handle in
Together Together: with Ed Helms and Patti Harrison as the stars in any kind of comedy, a hemisphere will light up in any brain attuned to rom-coms.
Among the many adept dramatic choices in this movie, Beckwith makes that tension come across in a natural, funny way. Helms and Harrison find a natural way into it at a critical point in the movie. Their characters stake positions and cover the issue enough that it s talked through and then moved on from.
