So when successful therapists and partners Kit (Jill Bennett) and Dyna (Cathy DeBuono) co-author a best-selling marriage manual, it is inevitable that their own marriage begins to fail. In order to keep up appearances and avoid embarrassment, Kit and Dyna begin couples counseling with a therapist played by comedian Susan Westenhoefer. To make things worse, the popularity of their book has spurred a documentary about the couple &#8220;walking their talk.&#8221; The film crew follows Kit and Dyna day and night, never giving them a chance to let down their guards, and fuels the increasing tension between them.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to the idealistic Kit and uptight Dyna is Kit&#8217;s seemingly less-than-serious stoner sister who provides comic relief as she offers keen observations to and about all three therapists. Mercury must be in retrograde as Kit and Dyna&#8221;s relationship is at one point reduced to annoying, petty interactions and the show intentionally relies on clich\u00e9s to demonstrate the absurdity that often transpires between partners.<\/p>\n<p><em>We Have To Stop Now<\/em> is a subscription-only webisodic &#8220;romantic dramedy.&#8221; Despite the segmented nature of the show, the story flows smoothly and the series has received positive press. <em>We Have To Stop Now<\/em> is a fun film; not a must-buy, but recommended viewing if the budget allows.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by, <strong>Amy Hribar<\/strong><br \/>\nScience Libarian<br \/>\nUniversity of Minnesota<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We Have to Stop Now.
