Title: Celeste and Jesse Forever<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director: Lee Toland Krieger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starring: Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, Will McCormack, Chris Messina, Emma Roberts, Ari Graynor, Elijah Wood, Eric Christian Olsen, Rebecca Dayan<\/strong><\/p>\n

A somewhat sloppy collection of relationship bits and shrewdly observed comedy of gender differences, the Los Angeles-based “Celeste and Jesse Forever,” which made its bow at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, marks the screenwriting and leading lady debut of Rashida Jones.\u00a0A rom-com push\u00a0that coasts along on the accrued goodwill of its game cast, this low-fi\u00a0offering is\u00a0built for the self-identifying embrace of mostly urban indie fans,\u00a0but marked by a blend of\u00a0sarcasm and end-game sincerity and life lessons that will strike\u00a0other viewers\u00a0as too cloying and calculated by half.<\/p>\n

Celeste (Jones) is very career driven, the owner of her own media consulting firm, and the trend-analyzing author of pop culture book “Shitgeist.” Her best friend and\u00a0husband Jesse, however, is less occupationally inclined. In their 30s, the couple has drifted apart — but only to a degree. Though they’re getting divorced, they still live together in a synchronized domestic routine. Their friends (Ari Graynor, Eric Christian Olsen) find this strange, and off-putting, but Celeste and Jesse swear that it works.<\/p>\n

Until, of course, it becomes manifestly apparent that it doesn’t. When Jesse breaks the difficult news that he’s gotten another girl (Rebecca Dayan) pregnant, it\u00a0freaks\u00a0Celeste out, and forces her to reconsider a decision that she previously found mature and progressive. Are she and Jesse meant to be together, or have they truly outgrown their relationship?<\/p>\n

Jones got her start on “The Office,” of course, and has comedic instincts that\u00a0transition smoothly to be the big screen, without coming off as too telegraphed and sitcom-y, as if playing to an\u00a0invisible audience.\u00a0While Samberg is the more well known comedic performer, his presence is a bit of a head feint, for\u00a0a\u00a0good bit of the movie’s best comedy is actually bound up in Celeste-as-hot-mess shenanigans, as with Zooey Deschanel in “The New Girl.” Jones is a radiant and engaging screen presence, and quite capable with this material.<\/p>\n

“Celeste and Jesse” bogs down a bit when it shifts its focus away from the mechanics of its relationship dynamics, and tries to\u00a0fold in\u00a0life lessons for its lead character by way of Celeste’s professional acceptance of a troubled pop star (Emma Roberts). This and the film’s other shortcomings, however, are mitigated by the fact that Jones is such a spry and immensely likable performer, as well as the fact that she and co-writer Will McCormack have such great ears for pithy dialogue. It’s a credit to their script that even if the trajectory of its\u00a0fractured romance\u00a0feels a bit choppy, the characterizations remain recognizably knowable, and more or less worthy of empathetic investment.<\/p>\n
