They tried to make it work but Sean Penn, 48, has filed for legal separation from his wife of 13 years, Robin Wright Penn, 43.

The couple first split in December 2007 but were back together by April 2007 when they were spotted together at an Eddie Vedder concert in San Francisco. Sean was invited onstage to perform a song that he dedicated to Robin for her birthday, and the couple asked for divorce proceedings to be canceled soon after.

It was so sweet it made us want to punch a photographer in the face to celebrate.

But things eventually started to sour.

Sean was linked to Natalie Portman and model Petra Nemcova, reportedly even hooking with Petra at an Oscar party the same night he decided not to thank his wife in his Academy Award acceptance speech for Best Actor in Milk.

Penn is seeking joint physical and legal custody of their children, daughter Dylan, 18 and son Hopper, 15, and requesting that the court not award any spousal support to Wright Penn.

Another one bites the dust.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
