While it delivers a few laughs, Better Living Through Chemistry is a poorly made and disjointed dark comedy. Emasculated and demeaned by his wife and family, a small town pharmacist has an affair with a trophy wife who leads him down a path of crime and drug abuse. Starring Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, and Michelle Monaghan, the film features and impressive cast; and Rockwell in particular gives a strong performance. But the characters aren’t really that likable. And the writing is unfocused, not quite knowing what kind story it’s telling. A problematic film, Better Living Through Chemistry is a jumbled mess that doesn’t quite come together.
