Film Review – Better Living Through Chemistry

“Better Living Through Chemistry” is a jaunty ride around the dismantling of an everyman. The screenplay by Geoff Moore and David Posamentier (who also co-direct the effort) is filled with formula, never disapproving of a cliché we’ve seen in other, better movies, but the energy of the feature is pleasing. It helps to have a cast who’s come to play, with Olivia Wilde, Michelle Monaghan, and star Sam Rockwell contributing lively work to a picture that needs a boost of a personality. Sporadically funny and sharply paced, “Better Living Through Chemistry” manages to achieve most of its goals, just don’t walk in expecting a radical reinvention of the ruined suburbanite routine.
