I haven't seen this all the way through but I have seen bits and pieces periodically on cable, including repeated viewings of portions. Brody goes on a tour as it were of some past girlfriends and other lovers right before he is scheduled to get married. Why does he do this? What is his purpose? He would have you believe that he wants to make amends for those he harmed along the way, or could it be that he wants a final shot at each? Hard to tell (well for some maybe) but as he goes along, ala The Swimmer, we begin to learn more and more about who he really is. Kristen Bell is also welcome but I thought Zoe Kazan as Reggie was just magical. Nice work.

Adam Brody plays a successful unnamed writer who is on the verge of getting married. He meets his high school sweetheart Sam (Jennifer Morrison) whom he left before prom instead of staying on the path to marriage. She is now a married mom back in their hometown with a stable husband. Then there is Taylor (Mía Maestro) who is single and just wants to have fun. His married college professor Lindsay (Emily Watson) who feels slighted after their affair and eventually him writing about it. Reggie (Zoe Kazan) is his former best friend's little sister remembering her 12th birthday. Bobbi (Kristen Bell) is the love of his life who has an identical twin Billie.This starts with an interesting scene between Brody and Morrison. It's funny and awkward. Then I think the movie follows the wrong character. He's uninteresting, pretentious, and really really whiny. At least, she has a family that could give some real human interactions. For most of the movie, he is annoyingly clueless like he's not a real human being. The ending helps explain some of that but it's too little too late. Most people wouldn't stick around till the end. It's frustrating to watch this.The other problem is that the interactions are too static. It doesn't have any cinematic style and can't justify jumping from a play to a movie. The scenes need movement desperately.

The pretext is to "clear the air" with respect to his past faux pas. It is probably unwatchable except for the charm of the lead, Brody, who in real life describes himself as a secular Jew. Brody is in every scene so if he's not one of your favorites, skip this film. (Brody previously starred in the long running television series "The OC".) The former flames include Lindsay (Emily Watson), Reggie (Zoe Kazan) and Bobbi (Kristen Bell). They are all engaging and it is fun to speculate with whom, if any, Brody will end up.The meetings are set up in the domicile of each girl friend and there are very few scenes set elsewhere. So the low budget aspects of the film will definitely put some people off. The film works for me mainly because of the honesty of the actors and the strength and credibility of the star.

I really wanted to like this film. I like many of the actors, but probably 5 minutes into the film I was bored to death. I was checking the clock every minute, honestly. I see no point in it, nothing to keep the viewers interested, involved. I just didn't care about any of the characters and the main character came off as an idiot, someone I could not only not imagine being a writer or a teacher, but a guy so many women would be into. I only watched it until the end, because I know these actors are good, but no actor could have made a difference, when the main concept of the film is just useless, non existent. I felt the whole thing was just pointless. Major disappointment.
