Jason Reitman’s “Men, Women & Children” is a noble effort but not a successful film. It’s worth a look on video because there are a few moments of quiet power in its ensemble cast and intersecting storylines. Other sections, though, wander. The topic is sex, specifically how modern technology and digital interfaces reverberate in how we relate to each other romantically. The drama serves as a cautionary tale about letting contrived expectations interfere with the actual flesh-and-blood human beings with whom we're affectionate.
