It's not THAT bad. Yes, it's probably very cliché, but it's supposed to be. It played with stereotyping, it showed - in ways that could have been a lot clearer and less "haha, funny" but wasn't because that wasn't the movie they wanted to make - the problems of lesbian couples being seen as COUPLES by most of their surroundings and constantly having to defend their relationships, wherever they go. You could probably (and maybe should) make a drama out of that feature, but this wasn't the movie for it. So they made it a laugh, but eh... *I* got the point. As another cliché, when someone acts and moves and talks like the biggest alpha-male in the world, it doesn't automatically make them a bad person. My brother used to wear all black, chains and big metal-covered boots and studs and has tats all over this body, no hair on his head but a big manly beard. He's the friendliest, most helpfull person you could find, and he had a laugh when people feared he'd eat their babies. Still - people crossed the road when he walked past. Overall, it was funny and a bit sad, but enjoyable to watch, but you should really not expect anything award-worthy. I agree with posters before that there wasn't that much chemistry between the leads, but if I want to watch light entertainment, I really don't care that much. I just play pretend that we get the chemistry behind closed doors.

Some hectic positive PR on social media by those closely involved and by fans of those people, is understandable but, for me, the film lacks enough of what it takes to elevate it to the ranks of the very good. The basic plot and sub plots, contemporary in tone, give rise to the potential for character development and also for witty, sometimes acerbic ripostes, and even several challenging viewpoints. Some of these potentials are realised while others fall with a bit of a clang. As for the unexpected twist, it came as no surprise to me, and I'm certainly not psychic! It was well handled and beautifully acted. The cast is mostly impressive, especially David Warner, Gemma Jones and Sarah Parish who are outstanding. The Who family, indeed, is strongly represented in general, which may or may not be always a good thing. But something doesn't gel. As others have said, strangely, the main pairing have little to no chemistry with each other so, for me, their very relationship defies credulity and I found it hard to care about either of them. David Tennant, who could never turn in a less than committed performance, does a sterling job but is ultimately wasted. Honestly, any competent actor between 30 and 50 could have played John. Being the Name needed, I presume, to encourage investors, is all very well but I hope it does not come with too high a price in time and effort. I've seen several of Ms Aitkin's short films and have found each of them to be thought-provoking, entertaining, well conceived, well written and well made. This is apparently her first full length feature. While it left me feeling mostly less than exhilarated, she is definitely a talented new film maker with real potential, having a distinctive wit along with a strong eye for the foibles of the human condition. I wish her every good fortune for her future in the industry.

I don't believe any of the ppl in the movie are comedy actors and it shows, along with an unfunny script and story. Give it a miss. Performances were very flat, no chemistry between the characters and I am not sure if any of the leads are Gay in real life but they sure didn't come across as a believable couple. Tenant did his best and for that I give the 3 stars.

There's no chemistry from the start between the "couple" and it all goes down hill from there. It definitely isn't a comedy either, more a tragedy. Can't believe such talented actors would have somehow consented to be in this mess.

Brilliant at last a comedy film that actually makes me laugh! Well done all involved. Why hasn't this film gained more critical acclaim?

Comedy? I laughed one time. And I am a huge fan of pretty much all romcoms/rom-dramas etc etc, but this was really dissapointing.... Expected much more, and definitely not a miscarriage.

Simply loved so many aspects of this movie. David Tennant, Faye Marsay, and Sarah Parish were nothing less than brilliant; you couldn't take your eyes off them when they were on screen. Add to that the genuinely true-to-life moments of humor and deep pain - the reasons that we go to the movies in the first place - and the result is a sharing of the human condition and seeing what connects even the most different of us. The reasons to love this movie. Then there are the reasons that this fils is so annoying...While Lucy Punch was competent as the solid core of the film, her complete lack of chemistry with Marsay held the film back from truly shining. Add to that a script that had a pair of contrived moments for every brilliant one and enough f-bombs to prove the lack of dialog inspiration and the foundation for the movie to be annoying were firm laid. Daisy Aitkins direction was alternately spot-on and muddled, but the wonderful moments were enough to make me want to see her next project. Oh...and seeing Georgia, Olivia, and Wilfred Tennant make ridiculously blonde, beautiful, and hilarious cameos were a nice perk too.

I really enjoyed this film. A light hearted comedy was just what I needed at the end of a busy day

Honestly thought this was dreadful, infantile crap. I really wonder how this got funding. Embarrassing.

I was fortunate to watch "You, Me and Him" at a screening this week and must say it was a delightful British comedy with a much more current twist on the usual rom-com. A stellar cast that made me laugh out loud, but also shed a tear. Go and see it, highly recommended.
