The life of Abby is centered around the fast-paced days of being a successful sous-chef and her marriage to Matt, a loving husband. A sudden accident in the kitchen forces her to leave the job she loves, and worse, to forgo a dream promotion. As the hottest summer in L.A. history reaches its peak, she faces an extreme challenge: doing nothing. The summer intensifies as she confronts a growing emotional gulf between herself and her husband, much unsolicited advice from her prying girlfriend and the temptation of an old flame..

Making the Rules Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
sy-968-728030 The one star vote is being too generous.Between the excess hipster lifestyle represented in Silver Lake to the worst casting and plot in the history of movie-making - this film is the epitome of S * & T!I would have liked to end my review on this crap at the previous paragraph but IMDb won't let me. We have to have 10 lines - but because I hate hate this film so much it's so very important to me that it is heard... Jamie Pressly is so annoying - she really needs to just stick to her stereotype roles. I'm sorry - she just is not meant for drama. Her nose won't let her.Robin Thicke - no words - except - just STOP & that hair-do!!!I want to cry because it's really THAT BAD...
zooshe The movie definitely had a slowness to it. And yes, she could be viewed as an "unlikeable" main character. But that's why I liked it. She was real. Life can be "slow", if we imagine it should always be fast. There are people just like her. Whose life is hum drum like the movie appeared.. I continued watching the movie waiting for a moment.. something that made viewing it worth it. Maybe most won't find that. But I did. The listless lead portrayed in this film I see in my everyday life. Selfish, disconnected, and not in tune with what's most important in life. So caught up in their "busy" lives, self-spun, they forget to just STOP & listen to their mothers! And think.. Hey! Maybe I don't know everything.. Maybe I'M wrong & not everything around me.. I've been hurt, but who am I hurting? These are conclusions many never reach, in life, not just while watching a movie. Yet this movie pointed a headlight on it. I liked that. I didn't feel that 'thing' I was hoping for until.. She realizes the right choice. Perhaps it was her tragedy, perhaps it was watching someone else's pain. Whichever.. It was nice to see her moved to change, and it made the 2nd to last -sofa scene- important. Seeing someone else. Helping someone else. Doing a much needed repair, on her OWN, using the 'tools' her momma taught her. No matter how "strange our parents may seem" can't we harvest some truth from what they teach? It's title had no meaning until the final scenes, for me it accomplished its feat. Out of a chosen mediocre life, ALL of us can snap into place, and make it happy, if we choose to Make The Rules.
Dan P First, this movie is way too short and ends too abruptly. Shouldn't all movies follow the "hour and a half" rule of thumb? Not this movie.Second, the actors hardly seemed engaged. As a matter of fact, Robin Thick, certainly not an actor, upstaged all these "Golden Globe Nominated" professional actors.Third, there are a few things I still don't understand. What was the purpose of including the friend, mother, and repair man? Why did Abby have to be a chef? Where was the real conflict? Although it was fun to watch, why did Jaime Pressly get naked?Honestly, I would rather cut off my fingers like Abby than watch this movie again.
marie-bourguignon I decided to watch this movie with my boyfriend, since Vulture described the Robin Thicke's scenes as atrocious. It was.If you start watching this movie, you'll probably fall asleep before the end of the first half, but invite your friends and just laugh at how bad this movie is. You'll bond over the horrible dialogs. After all, "The Internet never lies!" says our friend Robin.I really adored the acting of the washing machine, I think she should have been on the poster. She was such an important part of the plot, and so likable - in comparison with the other characters. I will say that at the end of the movie, I wasn't sure how to answer to Abby's dilemma: should you pay the repairer 120$ ? if you have any idea of the average price of machine repair in the USA I'd be glad to know.Don't forget to listen carefully to what Thicke's says about PAYAYA (paella, right ?). I'll probably make a ring-tone out of his "Beans, rabbit, snails". Please Internet: do make plenty of Robin Thicke gifs ! I want to have a gif of his starring... or his answer when he's in the laundromat "...*laughs softly*... laundry".Behold the true master piece that is "Making the rules" ! (btw: why is it named "making the rules" ?)No seriously. Don't watch that. Or at least invite friends and drink some wine (with some payaya on the side).
