Breath of fresh air

I had the pleasure of seeing The Truth About Marriage at the LA Film Festival back in 2019. I didn't know what to expect going into it but it turned out to be by far my favorite documentary to screen that year and one of the overall funniest movies I've seen in years. The film is educational, witty, punny and laugh-out-loud enjoyable at times. At only 80 minutes it moves at a great pace and there's never a dull moment. The filmmaker arrives at some obvious and also some not-so-obvious and surprising conclusions, which help dive the entertainment factor. Did I also mention it's hilarious? Overall this is a 10/10 and I highly recommend it.

Marriage Exposed as Hilarious, Ridiculous and Necessary

Roger Nygard's most recent film is hilarious. It exposes all the history, trappings and hypocrisy of marriage while at the same time celebrating it and extolling its virtues. Roger directed the classic documentary on fan culture "Trekkies". Here the subject is of marriage is more broad, but Roger brings the same curiosity and wit that makes all his films so unique.

Just Like Marriage Itself

Roger Nygard's The Truth About Marriage is fun, satisfying, insightful, laugh-filled and sometimes uncomfortable and surprising -- much like marriage itself. From the wacky and perplexing (sperm wars?) to the levelheaded, Nygard explores virtually every angle of marriage, revealing lots of worthwhile advice to keep marriages from imploding. He also introduces us to some pretty interesting couples, exploring how and why their relationships either worked or didn't. The greatest irony is how Nygard, who never married, became an expert on marriage, but his outside-looking-in approach to marriage somehow works -- and works really well.
