Amazon.com: Relationships are never easy, but when two very opposite people are brought together by a well-meaning acquaintance in Flannel Pajamas, the result is an explosive love that overrides common sense. The spark between the meticulously honest and emotionally scarred Nicole and the self-absorbed Stuart who invents elaborate stories for a living is intense, and despite the fact that they can't stand each other's family and friends, the two are drawn together first by a mutual fascination and later by great sex. The pair move in together and eventually marry, choosing to ignore their insecurities and conflicts over religion, friendships, relatives, and careers, but the cold reality is that the day to day struggles over their inherent differences takes a significant toll on their happiness and threatens their relationships with one another and their friends and families. A compelling, sometimes painful exploration of the relationships between men and women, the artsy and powerful Flannel Pajamas stars Justin Kirk (Showtime's Weeds) and Julianne Nicholson (Law and Order: Criminal Intent ). --Tami Horiuchi

Rating: - i loved this movie
I don't care what anyone says, I loved this movie and it is not a waste of time kind of movie. I just rented it and fell in love with it. I read another review and they were saying that couples actually enjoy the movie more than single people. It made me appreciate my relationship more.
Rating: - Anatomy of a relationship...(3 1/2) stars
The movie starts on Stuart and Nicole's first date. You basically feel as if you are in their relationship because you go through everything with them: the first time they are intimate, family meetings, problems with best friends and family members, their wedding, etc. These moments really kept me with the movie, because no matter how much someone tells you about their relationship, you never see the whole picture. Well, this movie shows you the whole picture, and then some.
Rating: - Can this marriage be saved . . .
This is an odd movie about an unlikely couple whose romantic relationship evolves into marriage and then comes unraveled. Paced and structured unlike any Hollywood romance you've ever seen, it is open to a variety interpretations, and its ending is inconclusive. Yes, they break up, but why exactly and whose fault is it? The reasons are both subtle and obvious. Stewart (Justin Kirk) is a rescuer, lifting Nicole (Julianne Nicholson) out of the bonds of poverty and debt, supporting her dream of starting ... Read More
Rating: - Poignant exploration of a couple's relationship
Flannel Pajamas is a perceptive exploration of a couple's relationship from the heady, lust-driven days of courtship to moving in and marriage. It deals with a couple, Stuart [Justin Kirk] and Nicole [Julianne Nicholson] who seem to be opposites yet are drawn to each other whilst on a blind date, and their feelings for each other grows from passion to love, resulting in marriage. The path of love doesn't run smooth though, for these two individuals have a lot going against them - they are opposites in ... Read More
Rating: - Insightful but not likeable enough
Perhaps because I'm in middle age and have gone through a few relationships I could see the mistakes Stuart and Nicole were making all along the way to sabotage their relationship. I admired that in some ways the film was very honest. For instance it is not self-conscious about nudity and sex. When the couple begin to explore sex they simply take off their clothes. They don't walk out of the bathroom wearing bathrobes, the camera doesn't start hiding behind the furniture, etc. At a certain point the ... Read More
