High ratings... I guess if your values can flex in this make-believe world to overlook the two timing. For me, the stumbling-into-two-relationships thing didn't work. More cynical than a stumble - that duration of deceit. If it was less prolonged. If he maybe made a decision before he decided which one to sleep with. That would have made a stronger movie IMO. The character would have remained sympathetic and I'd be empathising with the dilemma.Instead I'm thinking... he's sleeping with two women - and well, that's bad. I mean... it is... despite the lame (and shouted) excuses the movie thinks are enough.I knew the car was coming back at the end - very predictable. Maybe people are thinking happy ever after. I'm thinking rocky road to a break. A relationship damaged already. He's a cynical piece of work. And she's a doormat.The movie is worth a few points for being thought provoking. But it fails at the most basic level - I wasn't rooting for them to get together at the end - I just didn't care.
... View MoreI watched this movie last evening and thought it was great. It reminds me a lot of the 80's romantic comedy "About Last Night." Ron Livingston is great as usual. I loved the story, the characters - EVERYTHING! Great job folks on making a movie that I could enjoy without drowning in tears or laughing to the point of vomiting. It was a great balance!
... View MoreMy bias is not to expect a "finished product" from a first time film-maker, but this is a real surprise. It is well scripted, well cast and acted, with excellent cinematography and editing- it's tight and concise, without wasted screentime, and the storyline should delight any viewer. Not a "big" film, not a "blockbuster," but, rather, a truly wonderful entertainment, that moves this viewer to want to come back for more.
... View MoreThis movie is outstanding because it captures real life romance and dating experience that we can all relate to, and it does so in such a humorous way! The suspense keeps you at the edge of your seet, the acting is excellent, and Amanda Peet is hot!
