Editorial Review:

Product Description:
When neurotic Ira Black meets free-spririted Abby Willoughby, the impossible happens: they fall in love, meet each other's parents and decide to get married, all in a few breathless hours. Life is good for awhile, until a series of comic misadventures (multiple divorces, in-laws, affairs, exes and too many therapists) force the couple to rethink their strategy for love happily ever after.

Amazon.com:
Written by Jennifer Westfeldt, who also stars as Abby in this Manhattan-centric comedy, Ira & Abby is akin to Woody Allen's filmic escapades with Diane Keaton, minus the intellectual rigor. More like an extended sitcom episode, Ira & Abby's jaunty vibe gives credit where credit is due, by casting Seinfeld's Jason Alexander as a convincing psychiatrist Dr. Morris Saperstein. In this film, Ira Black (Chris Messina) is a self-doubting depressant who, raised by two affluent therapists, thinks too much until he meets the air-headed but refreshingly genuine gym sales consultant, Abby Willoughby. Marrying after one passionate day, viewers quickly discover how Ira and Abby's parents refract the personalities of the two lovers. Seymour and Arlene Black (Robert Klein and Judith Light) seem formal, unhappily married, and bitterly aging. Michael and Lynne Willoughby (Fred Willard and Frances Conroy) appear to be an idyllic, jovial married couple, until several events reveal how none of the three couples can maintain surface façades. As in Allen's films, most scenes center around misunderstandings and mishaps, leading to several comedic visits to various therapists. One wonders throughout whether Ira and Abby will pull through, though the film ultimately questions marriage as a construct in the sweet, simplified language of romantic comedy. —Trinie Dalton

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 100 minutes of just entertainment
I suppose I would give this three and a half stars if that rating were available. This movie provided me with 100 minutes of entertainment. No deep thinking, no real surprises...just a romantic comedy about 3 couples who can't quite figure out what the heck they are doing or what they want. The acting was okay, especially the actress who played Abby. She was very good. It was not nearly as funny as I remember "When Harry Met Sally" being, but then again, these actors are not Billy Crystal and Meg ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A decent movie with a terrible message
Ira and Abbey started off promising. It's funny and well written with a decent main actor in Chris Messina who was featured in a few episodes of Six Feet Under. And the supporting cast is really impressive--Jason Alexander, Fred Willard, and Frances Conroy, also of Six Feet Under (Six Feet Under - The Complete Series Gift Set

For most people, it's like an updated version of When Harry Met Sally.... A neurotic Jewish guy and an extremely nice white girl struggle with love. This time, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - High time there's been a truly funny and well-acted romance flick!
I just loved this movie. It had an interesting, rather novel storyline to back up the romance and, fortunately, very good actors that carry the story. Rent it, buy it, watch it! (I also fell in love with one of the groups that sings one of the songs in the movie -- check out "The 88".)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ira & Abby
Ira & Abby

Absolutely delightful. A lovely movie about the ups and downs of the relationship of a young couple questioning whether the only path to happiness is "I do." A must see for young and old. Elizabeth



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love it!
