Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt are lovely, as always. Mark Duplass is a good actor. My issue is that this is another "get a man, any man" premise. The guy is out of work, lost, emotionally stunted and basically doesn't have much to offer anyone at this point in his life. Apparently one sister (DeWitt) finds this so intoxicating that she decides to seduce him so she can obtain the sperm of this "amazing" specimen, ignoring her sister's connection to him and her own sexual orientation in the process. Then, somehow this hapless loser is so incredibly desirable that the other sister (Blunt) is willing to make a life with him and presumably have children with him... despite the fact that her sister may be carrying his child, which could potentially make for some awkward family birthday parties. I wanted to like this because of Lynn Shelton. But really, take note: lesbians can get pregnant with carefully selected sperm without having to engage in sex with a man, and intelligent, funny and beautiful women like the one Blunt portrays can do a lot better than a hapless loser who can't keep it in his pants. Another example from the "women are so desperate for a man they'll take anyone" genre.
