Relationship

I enjoyed the movie although the storyline is relatively slow. This movie is best to watch if you aren't totally awake or are looking for something a bit mindless. This is not a movie that will occupy your brain.

I didn't like the ending. Although it wasn't left open-ended, it didn't feel like an ending. My exact comment was, "Wait, that's it?"

Despite my criticisms, I think the movie is worth watching. I'd give it 6.5 stars if half stars were allowed (yes, I felt generous and rounded up on my rating).

Not everyone has had the same experience in love or life. So i understand some of the bad reviews, but is a really good movie, a very real one. I had a relationship like that so i felt everything i was seeing. The movie had me thinking of my past relationship. I was seeing myself and my ex in this film. They did a good job and the people that think otherwise simple dind't have an experience like that. Everybody that has will feel this movie. Emma Roberts and Michael Angarano did a good job.

Emma Roberts is the lead in this relationship comedy... which has its moments.. but in the end neither of the two couples in this movie is particularly worth rooting for.

Hallie (Emma Roberts) and Owen (Michael Angarano) are a couple in L.A. Their best friends Willa (Dree Hemingway) and Matt (Patrick Gibson) get together and start dating. The four twentysomethings have different levels of commitment expectations which causes simmering conflicts.

It starts like a fluffy cute relationship indie. It tries to be 'real' with their relationships. It has potential but it does not elevate the drama. I wish that Willa would actually cheat on Matt and Hallie is forced to hide the secret. It needs something to heighten the drama. The characters are set for something but the plot is holding back. The story is being too 'real' where the couple are struggling due to nothing more than themselves. It leaves with a flat ending that does not wrap up or break apart.

Only a nebbish writer could have thought this was plausible. To be fair on some level it is with the emasculation and confusion in our culture, but it doesn't explore this subject in any way worth thinking about.
