My Last Day Without You

It's not perfect, but it's an enjoyable watch largely because of the chemistry between the leads. At first, it's easy to think that the German guy is devoid of personality and cold, but Nicole Beharie has that quality where she's so endearing and cute that I could really buy that her character could shake a cold, unfeeling businessman awake. It's a bit of a conflict between worlds, but not one that's focused on in a ham-fisted way, and I appreciated that the movie wasn't about them being an interracial couple and that struggle (setting the film in NYC helped with that). I also enjoyed her father's own love story, which was very cute, and though the driver character rambled on a lot, he was kind of the heart of the film. I enjoyed seeing him so invested in someone else's happiness.

Nicole Beharie is a good musician as well! She has a nice singing voice. I really liked her work in Sleepy Hollow (even though they ultimately didn't do right by her character or the actress herself), and one of my favorite things were her interviews with Tom Mison. They were always such a pleasure to watch because their chemistry was always so much fun (that includes Orlando Jones as well). Sounds weird, but she makes me think of Ciara in how she can have chemistry with different people easily. I saw some of that in this film as well.

Overall, the acting was good, the chemistry was good, and the story (though a bit far-fetched in that typical romantic dramedy way) was pretty good too. I'd love to see the leads in another film together, as they played off each other well (and looked good together).

I am so glad that I didn't listen to the review that I read that gave this movie 2 stars!!!! Something about the cover just caught my eye...

It turned out to be a great movie with a plot that I haven't seen a million times before.

In a good movie love story, you fall in love a little along with the characters... this was that type of movie. They both had flaws... she was a little rough around the edges and he thought money was the solution for every problem. I also thought the male lead was kind of ugly at the beginning of the movie, but by the end I could see why she was attracted to him.

It's not a movie that will change your life, but I think it's a good movie that will at least makes you question if you have let love slip through your fingers like it's nothing.

I'm someone that hates love stories. But I have to admit this movie was quite entertaining.

The story is pretty simple but effective. Business guy from Germany is in the States for a meeting and by accident falls in love with a woman - at first sight. The way this story is told is pretty real. The characters were likable and neither overacted nor uninteresting, OK maybe the taxi driver was a little but he is just a side character.

Acting was nice, maybe at a few moments a little bit overacted but still very nice. I liked the characters development as well. The music was nice and fitting. And somehow I had fun watching it, I guess you will as well.

Moderate pacing, well-acted by the leads. Bonus for the vocal performances by Nicole Beharie!

I recorded this from the UP channel and though it wasn't in HD, I still found myself loving it and couldn't bring myself to delete it when done watching it as I usually do after watching something DVR-ed. I can't really figure out how to describe what I loved about it, but I think mostly it's the interesting culture clash and, as Niklas points out, the attraction between his left-brain temperament and her right-brain creativity. The dialog was so real, so honest, and I felt like a fly on the wall getting to watch a very real human connection develop over the few hours they had together - a connection that neither expected. They each learned a lot about themselves and each other because they were both very real and honest with each other more and more as the day went on. My primary criteria for liking a movie is whether I am given a reason to care about the characters, and this story did draw me in to caring for all the characters from the start.
