Dear Elizabeth

What a great story! Unpretentious, great characters, nice story and funny in a nice way. Sid is great - you just want him to do well.

I would highly recommend this film because it's a great watch and it deserves to be watched!

This was such a nice story. It's simple, but briskly paced, and was made with a great outlook on life. The main character has his ups and downs, but you don't feel depressed--you just feel like that's how life is, and it gives you an appreciation for what you have. Now you might think that something that sounds so positive would be too straight-laced, but actually there is some sharper humor in there, stuff that wouldn't have been out of place in Napoleon Dynamite. I will recommend this movie to just about anyone.

I really enjoyed this movie! Although the story is not too surprising, the movie has a rather fast pace (a lot of things happen in a very short time), therefore it doesn't get boring and the characters are well portrayed by a really great cast! I loved the characters, the movie portrays a range of people you wouldn't want to be friends with in real life, but they are shown through such a loving and uplifting lense, you can't help but like their quirky and sometimes questionable characters.

Sid Straw (Tony Hale) is a bit of an awkward loser but he tries really hard. He gets appointed co-chair of his college reunion and is told to get on Facebook in order to do the organizing. He's clueless to social media as well as many other things. He is delighted to see former college acquaintance Elizabeth Banks there and starts posting on her fan page. Only the postings are public and her agent Frankie grows tired of his persistence. Frankie files a restraining order on Sid and his life spirals down the drain.

Sid is awkward and clueless. Tony Hale does sell it for all it's worth. He keeps the character from devolving into anger or creepy. I wouldn't say that this is terribly funny but it does become touching around the middle. As his life degenerates, his sadness becomes quite compelling and very endearing. It's an improvement over his cringy cluelessness to his loserdom. By the middle, he's more self-aware. There is a sweetness to Sid and it's all down to Tony Hale.

It's a movie sent a message that loser is a relatively term. Sid looks like a dump loser and act weird in some way but he wins a lot in his life indeed. It's a story and fake but kinda inspired many of normal people that attitude matters. Funny movie also.
