It's Not You, It's Me

From the very beginning of the movie the main characters and their, somewhat crazy and very realistic personalities, grab your attention and bring you right into the middle of their relationship. Director, Nathan Ives, does an amazing and hilarious job capturing all those little thoughts that go running through men and women's heads. From the good to the bad, it's all there. It is such a relatable movie to anyone that's been through the rough patches of the dating world. Throughout the movie, you'll be laughing and thinking to yourself, "wow, that is so true!" and "I have been there before!". This romantic comedy is an instant classic, that will be loved and enjoyed by many for years to come.

My wife loves romantic comedies, so I get to see more of them than I might care to, but this one is worth watching. The characters are well developed, the dialogue is crisp and clever, and there's a palpable chemistry between the two leads. All of the actors are first rate, delivering the goods on several "laugh out loud" moments throughout the film. In particular, Ross McCall is excellent in the lead role, carrying the film from start to finish with the self-assured acting chops of just about any leading man you can think of.

I really look forward to seeing how Nathan Ives, the writer/director of It's Not You, It's Me, follows up on this project. He has a real ear for dialogue, reminding me of Woody Allen, if a bit more testosterone-driven and only slightly less neurotic.

This movie was so refreshing and true to real life. Director, Nathan Ives, did an excellent job with this film. All of the cast were wonderful. This movie covers relationships issues that many other movies do not portray accurately. This one hit in on the spot. The dating scene is such a challenge, so it is so nice to have a movie that looks at these challenges in a humorous and also serious way. The voices in the boyfriend's head are great and very true. We all have these voices that try to sway us different ways, and I have never seen a movie that depicts them this well. I give it and A+ and am going to have my boyfriend watch it!

This smallish movie uses a device that we saw in 1991's Herman's Head. The internal workings of each of the two leads are represented by five characters representing lust and anxiety and the inner child and so on. It is an effective device - and very funny at times - and it is used well in this entertaining comedy which is actually an intelligent romcom.I think most viewers will be able to relate to the inner turmoil, Ross McCall and Joelle Carter are great as the protagonists and all the supporting cast is very good. Maggie Wheeler (you will remember her as the annoying Janice from Friends) plays a sensible counsellor, and in fact everyone is realistic and believable.

Nathan Ives has written a thoughtful and funny script which is not particularly predictable and has a commendable ring of truth to the events (aside from the wacky goings-on inside the heads of McCall and Carter's characters of course) This is a thoroughly enjoyable movie with high budget production values and acting in what I assume is a low to medium budget movie.

Really enjoyed this film, it's a window into the mind of how guys (and girls) think. Dialogue is sharp and witty. Chemistry between the two lead actors was great.

I'm originally from LA and it's kind of a postcard to Los Angeles as well. Some beautiful shots of downtown and what look like Silverlake. It nicely avoided the cliché' beach scenes so typical of films shot in LA.

It was great seeing 'Janice' from friends in a more serious role. She plays a wonderful therapist in the film.

A little slow here and there, but not bad. Over all I would definitely recommend it.
