The Way We Weren't

I give it credit because I've seen worse but overall the film is crap. I'm quite pleased I managed to get through it. The story is poor, the acting is poor, the effects are beyond poor. I can't imagine that anyone whose seen the film can actually rate it 10/10.

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

Similar to "Wedding Daze", this a modern day fable where communication is necessary for happiness.

Getting married too soon, and/or on a bed of lies, is an obvious opportunity for plenty of abuse humor.

The story is a fun rollercoaster of ups and downs of love and come uppences.

Fiona Gubelmann is great and pretty much carries the movie, but the writing surrounding everyone is good enough that is makes for a humorous experience.

I love Ben Lawson, and I enjoy watching anything he's in. It's a lighthearted romcom and I don't understand why there are so many angry people saying that the good ratings are fake. Sometimes I just want a lighthearted movie that I can kick back and watch when I'm tired or when I've had a busy day at work. I thought the storyline was cute and the acting was fine. I don't know enough about cinematography to know if the filming was bad or good and frankly, I don't care. I think it's a cute storyline with a sweet outcome. If you like cheesy stories, you'll like this. If you're expecting an award-winning film, you won't. It is what it is.

Great story idea and a great cast. But everything else (e.g. the script, direction, editing, and camera work) is terrible! I've seen tons of B movies and straight-to-video movies, but this looks more like a student film, like maybe a B or B- student. I don't know how so many successful actors were roped into participating. I'm actually very interested in how this movie came together. I imagine they ran out of time and money and were forced to submit a hastily thrown together rough cut, which they didn't even have time to review upon completion.

It seems like reviewers either loved it or hated it with no in between. I had been debating whether to watch on Prime which is why I checked out IMDB reviews - to help me decide. The result was I had to watch it to see which side I agreed with. I liked it. Very low budget but it didn't feel cheap. The characters are all likeable and the acting was good - no-one took it too seriously which kept it light. And it was funny. It had some filler but generally it moved along at a reasonable pace. Did I mention there are some very funny scenes. I will probably watch it again and soon because it left me with a good feeling.
