Always like uplifting human drama. They spoiled this one with the Hollywood required dragging the holy name of JC thru the mud - just one time as is most often the case to symbolize their disdain for pure good.

The movie is just plain bad. My GF has been a huge Jamie Chung fan, so her and a six pack convinced me to try and sit through it. First time director movies are usually awesome or horrible..and this movie was not awesome.

A good romance movie is always fun to watch, but this just seems so contrived that is is tough to watch. While the acting isn't bad at all, the direction was all over the place. The movie seems like it was shot with beauty in mind, but completing lacking in story and continuity.

It looks like this is the director's first movie, which he also wrote and produced, so maybe the story was close to his heart, but it really was just an awfully directed and written movie.

LOL - I checked the Rotten tomatoes score and it was 90%, so I'm thinking the Director and his friends/family probably voted themselves.

I don't mean to sound mad at the director, but if you're going to make me waste 90 minutes of my life and night out with my buddies, at least learn your craft.

The concept was interesting and the complexity of the nuances of real life were interesting, but the acting and script seemed a little hallmark-y for the content. A reflection of the fact that it was Casey Affleck's first attempt at directing, it was almost hard to watch because the acting was so unbelievable. It did, however attempt to address personal issues and growth, but could've done a better job.

I don't understand the low ratings. This drama is realistic, funny and moving.

With all the negativity in this world, it seems that some viewers can only relate to tragic and sad dramas. This movie isn't that. It has its sad moments but those moments genuinely contribute to the overall positive tone of the movie. It's a feel-good piece that conveys a message that Change is possible and that life is way simpler than what most people nowadays make it to be.

I give it 10/10 because we need more positive films like this one. Well done.

P.S: This is my first review here ever. I'm glad I wrote it and will definitely recommend this movie to family and friends.
