Smashed

Kate and Charlie are a young married couple who share a love of music, laughter and heavy drinking. Kate teaches elementary school, and when her partying starts affecting her job, she decides to get sober. Her husband does not join her in that decision, and the distance that opens between them forces Kate to face problems she had been drinking away, including her relationship with her mother.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Kate and Aaron Paul plays Charlie. Octavia Spencer, Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally and Mary Kay Place appear in supporting roles. The film was directed by James Ponsoldt, who wrote the screenplay with Susan Burke. It was the first of the director's features, followed by The Spectacular Now, The End of the Tour, The Circle and Summering.

Smashed runs 85 minutes and was released in 2012. On IMDb it holds a rating of 6.7 from around 18,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 6.5 from a much smaller base of 313 votes. A critics' rating of 6.9 from 106 reviews places it slightly above both audience scores, suggesting reviewers responded to it a little more warmly than general viewers did.
