by "the whole deal" - I mean the intricacies/ complexities of long-term relationships (or marriage)

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.

In talking with my daughter after the viewing, we determined that the casting is what brought it down. Ellen page, gordon-levitt, the druggist (playing the same role he played in "drag me to hell") were all completely wrong for the movie.

At the same time, many things considered "homages," to me, came off as derivative and contrived.
