Frank and April, a married couple in the 1950s, have always seen themselves as special, different, ready and willing to live their lives based on higher ideals. So, as soon as they move into their new house on Revolutionary Road, they proudly declare their independence from the suburban inertia that surrounds them and determine never to be trapped by the social confines of their era. Yet for all their charm, beauty and irreverence, the Wheelers find themselves becoming exactly what they didn't expect: a good man with a routine job whose nerve has gone missing; a less-than-happy homemaker starving for fulfillment and passion; an American family with lost dreams, like any other. Driven to change their fates, April hatches an audacious plan to start all over again, to leave the comforts of Connecticut behind for the great unknown of Paris. But when the plan is put in motion, each spouse is pushed to extremes--one to escape whatever the cost, the other to save all that they have, no matter the compromises.

Totally forgettable
I can't remember anything about this film so it must be totally forgettable. It made no impression on me at all.

Ever felt that you’re wasting the best years of your life in drudgery? That your marriage has gone as stale as your all but forgotten youthful hopes and dreams? That things would be so much better if you walked out on your job and took off for a new start in… let’s say, Paris? Well if you haven’t, just wait, my child. At any rate, that’s how Frank and April Wheeler are feeling circa 1956. He commutes from their handsome suburban Connecticut home on Revolutionary... Read more
