sarahmurphy-987-679729 The first half of the movie fit the typical romantic comedy shtick however the second half was a bit deeper and fun to watch. The characters had good development throughout the movie and you found yourself rooting for them by the end. It wasn't a masterpiece, but if you have the time give it a watch!

achilleslink First I will say that in my opinion this movie was worth the watch. It had some moments that had me laughing out loud. Jason's disposition is inherently funny and he knows how to deliver a line. I like Alison, so that was another plus. But that's where the really good things about this movie end. The story line was very flawed and incredibly unrealistic, in my opinion. There is no way that Elaine and Jake wouldn't be together after spending so much time with each other and being in love the whole time, especially considering they lost their virginity to each other. Elaine ends up fucking some random guy that was at a kid's birthday party (which by the way, why would she do is she's in love with Jake?) and Jake is not even that mad about it. Regardless of the title of the movie, I don't like how they perpetuate how it's "okay" to fuck other people even when you know you're in love with someone else. It's not something that's morally sound and no one should do that. In a later scene, they are then cuddling in bed, consoling each other, and nothing happens even then. There was a totally lack of sexual and romantic chemistry with these two. They had matching vibes that could've certainly resulted in sexual and romantic chemistry, but the story line never allowed it to develop or show. They really dropped the ball on some crucial elements that could've made the movie truly great. It needed more romance and it needed more passion.

kosmasp Is this predictable? Of course it is! Do the actors and the quirky dialog still warrant a viewing? Very much so, unless you have a total dislike for romantic comedies. Then this will feel like a drag to you. Don't do it to yourself and to the movie. Because obviously you'll have the worst time and therefor will rate it differently.Now, with that out of the way, Jason and Alison make a good match. And you can feel the chemistry in their first "meeting". Shouldn't they come together faster than? Well it wouldn't make for a feature length movie if the did. Also there's Amanda Peet to name another reason. Who wouldn't also fall in love with her? But of course, there is nothing like the first love ... at least in movies of course!

ekeby I'm a little surprised at all the negative reviews here. It's hard to imagine what the reviewers found missing. Romance? Comedy? Or both? Because I found plenty of each. I will say that I can see how you need to be able to relate to the lifestyles depicted to appreciate the film. Because if you can't, this might as well be about life on Mars.This is a smart movie. And the concept is pretty original, considering the difficulty of deviating from the restrictions of the genre. The leads are immensely likable and each able to toss off complex comedic riffs with ease. And I very much enjoyed seeing Adam Scott play the heavy. Not easy to portray a dull-as-donuts bad guy, but he pulled it off.Despite the "truthiness" of the dialog, the movie does share one thing with all romantic comedies: it's a wet dream for the love hungry. Especially for those folks who juggle and struggle with the reality of modern relationships. The lead characters wear a veneer of cynical sophistication that many of us use as protective shields. But, as is expected from a rom-com, the veneer cracks. And we're glad when it does.I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, but be warned: it is a movie for grown ups.
