Thanks For Sharing

Thanks For Sharing is a movie about a group of people going through Recovery.  Not from alcoholism or drugs, but, from sex.  Yup, you read that correctly, sex addicts.  Now, I didn't know that when I went to see it.  I had read in the brief synopsis posted on one of the movie ticket purchase sites that it was about a group of addicts and saw that Mark Ruffalo, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Tim Robbins were starring in it.  So, I figured with a cast like that, it had to be good.

Well, I gambled correctly.  And, there was a surprise member of the cast (surprise to me anyway), Alecia Moore AKA Pink, who did a really good job (by the way). 

To recap, Thanks For Sharing is about a group of sex addicts and their journey to recovery.  A romantic comedy (although I don't know if I would label it as that - more of a "light drama with some comedy" I think).  And FYI, the whole movie does not consist of a bunch of people sitting in group meetings), I definitely found myself rooting for each of the characters, especially Dr. Banner.  Oops, I mean Mark Ruffalo :-)

Rating:  3.5/5 stars
