I'm a discerning movie watcher and it's very seldom I'll laugh out loud at a movie. In fact I generally tend to avoid comedies, too contrived, so little depth.But this one really tickled my funny bone. I absolutely LOVED the humour, so much of it understated and easy to miss if you lost concentration. By the end of the movie I was splitting my sides over the bonus bits during the credits.This movie also made me proud to be an Aussie. The locations were sophisticated and avoided the clichés. The dialogue was zany and the humour off-beat.Yes, the actors looked a little older, but I was star-struck by Rachael Taylor. Why haven't I seen her before? What an extraordinary talent.I thought the movie was really well written by four comedy writers who clearly had a lot of fun in the process. I thought the acting was exemplary and the casting was nothing short of genius.I've been so disappointed to hear it didn't make zillions at the box office, I'd have figured this as the perfect date-movie. Like many long- time classics, perhaps it will enjoy a long and prosperous future after a mediocre initial reception. Hopefully more people like me will unexpectedly discover it and tell their friends.

My fondness for romantic films drove me to this one. The premise is standard albeit timeless.The film has a good pace, the protagonist Josh Lawson is pretty good as a guy who gets to the right places at the right time. Rachael Taylor is nice too, as are Ben's mates. Some good lines of humour add to the story pace.Australia is shown as a pretty hip place to be (it is!)Where the film seems self-limiting is the chemistry between Ben and Alex. It seems stand-offish. That someone is unwilling to finish off something that has been started is not good enough reason to weave a full story and film.The Yemen proposal scene at the end was at best, clumsy and cheesy. Lacked the chutzpah the early part of the film had.If chief failure seems to be its limp ending. Its almost like bad sex. Seems promising at the start; you don't mind the experience but really wish it was better.

I really enjoyed this film for a lazy winters Friday night .. Of course being from Melb it's always fun to watch movies made near home, I will agree not the most amazing cinematography and the story line or way scenes were constructed didn't really flow. Some of the music tracks are not timed well.. Having said that very entertaining, made me smile and did make me want to fall in love with some good quotes about life and commitment evoking feelings of nostalgia. I guess being 28 myself can relate a lot to the story and becoming relationship focused! The dude is 30 playing a 27 yr old so it's not as far fetched as others claim..It would be great to see more Aussie films in future that go the next level, but heading in the right direction.

Don't bother watching this movie unless you want to watch a narcissistic rich boy complaining about his almost perfect life and how hard it is, and sit through the worst editing you have ever seen used in a film...then go ahead :)So apparently I have to have 10 lines of text so I'll continue by telling you about how terrible the love interest (played by Rachel Taylor) is. Throughout the whole movie, Ben is blowing her off and screwing her around CONSTANTLY and every single time she just forgives him, just like that. I mean REALLY!Has it been 10 lines yet?
