Me Him Her

This show is so Max. I love it!

This is full of great writing with so many funny lines and bits that I only finish laughing from the last one to hear/see the next one! As always, Max is making his own decisions against the tonic of the tropes with full understanding of what he is breaking.

This is a love story for the characters, including the character of Los Angeles. "L.A. Story" is another favorite ode to the neurotic, crazy, loveliness of that bunch of cities posing as one. This its new generational piece by one of its great, young, creative L.A. characters, Max Landis.

When shows like this are the norm, never forget who got us here first.

If you want to see his CV, look online and at "Chronicle" and "American Ultra," his other features.

Don't hesitate, see this if you haven't and show your friends!

In the film you are warned beforehand that in LA the line between dreams and reality is thinner, but once you take the quirkiness away, the script is a classic boy meets girl. I love Max Landis and I think he is a brilliant writer, but this movie didn't feel quite right.

I was laughing (which is grand in itself), but I predicted every joke before it happened. I wasn't surprised by the weirdness, therefore it felt superfluous.

Without actually disliking the film - I had quite a bit of fun - I can't call it a success either. The sense of being off is quite strong. The actors did great, as well. Perhaps it was all too quirky without needing to. I don't know. I really think Landis can do a lot better.

Ultimately disappointing treatment of celebrity trying to come out as gay to family and public. It gets so lost along the way but manages to treat some issues like the obligations of friendship and the pain of relationship endings. But it does present a loving lesbian couple as a positive and even Cory is ultimately a realistic portrayal of a douchebag. And it has a LOT to say about LA! Dustin Mulligan and Emily Mead do great jobs playing their unlikeable characters. But unfortunately the issue of a gay actor coming out gets quietly lost amongst it all. (Stay until end credits finish though!)

I was just running through the films of the best shaped bodybuilder of all time, just trying to spot her, but this movie got me.

I'm not the first one to get hooked by romantic movies, but I'm fond of a good lighthearted comedic romantic movie, those are always special.

This somehow catched me, and I love when that happens.

And as the film pointed it out in the very end, the fact that like all the characters were gay in this one, didn't matter at all. These were just people trying to figure out life, themselves, everything, to the point the two main character boggled into a semi-hetero relationship with each other, and it was about figruing out what this is, where their carreer is, and the big questions of life in general.

This was funny without telling jokes, it was just heartwarming.

Very good structure, great acting, good atmosphere.

Classic cinema.

Sappy, artificial drama that'll make you squirm in your seat out of sheer discomfort. Max Landis lacks restraint when it comes to comedy, beating a joke over the audience with wild abandon. There are some genuinely funny moments (like Haley Joel Osment's cameo, and...), but they don't make up for petty, inconsequential drama. The characters almost seem to be a modern take on 90's sitcom caricatures; they overreact to everything--to which it seems we're suppose to find amusing...but it isn't--and they are as self-absorbed as humanly possible. With three unlikable leads and a jarring sense of humor... Me Him Her really could of used more of Haley Joel Osment and Scott Bakula.
