Movie Overview
"Bert and Arnie's Guide to Relationship" is a 2013 comedy-drama directed by Jeff Kaplan. It stars Matt Oberg as Bert Sheering, a failed novelist turned tenure-track professor, and Stephen Schneider as Arnie Hubert, an effective albeit sleazy book editor at the same publishing business that had fired Bert.

Character Introduction
In the movie, Bert and Arnie couldn't be more different. Bert is shy, socially awkward, and a bit aberrant due to his past failure as an author. Arnie, on the other hand, is outbound, charismatic, nearly to the point of being egotistical, and has a reputation for being a womanizer. Nevertheless, despite their glaring distinctions, their lives end up being linked in a surprising twist of fate.

Storyline
Arnie sleeps with Bert's estranged better half, Faye (Anna Chlumsky), starting a Black Swan impact of events that bond these two opposites together in a relationship. What starts as an awkward and uneasy association ultimately develops into a special, genuine bond. In time, they help each other navigate their complex love lives, professional failures and successes, and transformations. The 2 start an amusing journey of self-discovery and individual development.

The Love Relationships
The film showcases different relationships both guys have with women. Bert has a deep adoration for a trainee called Sabrina (Cristin Milioti), while Arnie tries to win back his ex-wife and navigate his relationship with a female pal, Emily (Ali Reza). Their private romantic undertakings supply humorous relief and further emphasize the contrasting personalities between the two central characters.

Ending
Towards the end, Bert finds his voice once again as an author when he begins a blog, while Arnie experiences a fall from grace when a jilted author sues him. Arnie's normally smooth cruising life ends up being rough which remains in contrast to the ascendance of Bert's profession. In spite of the turbulence in their specific lives, they manage to form a camaraderie, ultimately understanding that their friendship has actually contributed in their personal growth.

Conclusion
"Bert and Arnie's Guide to Friendship" provides a creative mix of funny and drama, taking a look at themes of midlife crisis, extramarital relations, profession failure, and personal growth. It highlights the significance of finding oneself, and in some cases the role that unlikely friendships can play in this process.
