This movie follows the story of a group of high school teenagers and their parents as they attempt to navigate the many ways the internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-images, and their love lives.

Leave your thoughts about Men, Women & Children.
| io9.comAnnalee NewitzMoving and intense, Men, Women, and Children manages to make us confront uncomfortable realities about ourselves, while also reassuring us that we can also be good people. |
| The Daily BeastTeo BugbeeMen, Women, & Children curates the world of technology into a tiny sliver of only the most outlandishly evil elements, and pretends that perspective is reason for despair. |
| NY1-TVNeil RosenThe entire cast all turn in first-rate performances, as Reitman has given us a finely executed and fascinating cautionary tale that leaves lots of food for thought. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperAt times Reitman (adapting Chad Kultgen’s 2011 novel) can be a bit preachy and scolding about the pitfalls of surrendering one’s “RL” (real life) to one’s online existence, but just about any parent or any teenager seeing this film will empathize with any number of the interconnecting plot lines. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekBanality posing as profundity...a ponderously didactic ensemble piece...so determined to deliver a message...that it doesn't bother to create credible characters, situations or dialogue. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezThe problem with Men, Women & Children — and it’s a big one — is that the movie isn’t telling us anything we don’t already know. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthIt's a shame Reitman goes down such a dull and tired road with his movie, because the cast give some really nice turns. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersThe name of the film is "Men, Women & Children." Don't forget the animals, because this one's a real dog. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordI didn't like this movie when it was called "Disconnect," and cowriter/director Jason Reitman's ("Juno," "Labor Day") adaptation of Chad Kultgen's novel lays on pretension masquerading as deep thought for an even less convincing mix |
| CinemixtapeJ. OlsonIf Reitman's aim was to push buttons, make us think, and give his cast a stage for some stellar performances, he's succeeded wildly. |
