The typically nerdy Long is convincing as a wise and charming dating guru; Scarlett Johansson deftly handles her comedic moments just as well as her seductive ones; and the dynamic between Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck—a couple who’ve cohabitated for seven years—is more believable than we see in most comedies.
