Trust the Man (2006)

Cast: David Duchovny (Tom), Julianne Moore (Rebecca), Billy Crudup (Tobey), Maggie Gyllenhaal (Elaine)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Trust the Man page.

Normally movies that spend so long in development (some sites list it as a 2004 film, some 2005, but it was released 2 weeks ago) scare me a bit. However, the cast of Trust the Man is amazing and it takes place in my favorite city (NYC). A friend (also from NYC) saw it and told me I had to see it on the big screen, so that was enough for me to move it from my list to a movie I'd definitely see in a theatre, even though we hadn't seen a movie in a theatre in almost a month.

Bart Freundlich (the writer & director) clearly loves New York City and that shows throughout the movie. I definitely highly recommend Trust the Man for anyone who loves New York and knows it well. They use locations from all over the city and you'll really enjoy it.

The story of Trust the Man is also good and would be good if it took place elsewhere. It's a movie about two couples where the one woman and man are brother and sister, the women are best friends, and the men are best friends. The way that the romantic relationships develop is explored really well due to the dynamics of the friendships and families.

Perhaps (from the reviews I've read) you have to love New York or theatre to fully enjoy Trust the Man. I don't really think that's necessary, though. My husband and I both enjoyed it and he was raised here in Orange County.

If you don't have time to catch Trust the Man in a theatre (especially because of its limited release), be sure to rent it on DVD.

Grade: A-
