Paper Year

Having Andie MacDowell as a "star" in this is misleading since she only appears for about 5 minutes once near the start and once nearer the end... Which was a disappointment for me as I expected her to have equal screen time as the young actors, more involved. Could have cast ANY actor for the part of the Mum for all the acting that was involved. Definitely not a feel good movie. It is NOT a RomCom as another review noted. Again, also as other review suggested, any young people contemplating marriage must watch this as a warning.

I am not sure I am the only one who don't know the end after watching the whole movie. I got the message what they want to give through the movie and get the same feeling if I were in the actress place. But I am not sure how to end the movie because there are a lot of what left in my mind after the movie such as How do the movie end ? What was the message that the director want to give in final scene ????

The movie is ok. Its only good because bonos daughter is fine as heck. The movie gives false hope to dweebs.

Dan Delaney (Avan Jogia) and Franny Winters (Eve Hewson) get a quickie city hall marriage. He's a struggling actor trying to break into Hollywood. He gets to housesit and dog-sit for hot starlet Hailey Turner. Franny gets a job writing for reality TV game show Duck, Duck, Goose. She finds herself falling for the head writer, Noah Bearinger (Hamish Linklater). Is the first year truly the hardest...

I find Avan's adorably awkwardness not that appealing as a leading man. This movie is more compelling coming from her side of the story. His side is much less compelling. His jealousy has foundation but lacks any appeal. Her inner conflict is the most compelling part of the story and it would be better to simply concentrate on that. Eve seems to be an interesting actress. I find that if it's a man's story, the wife would be a smaller two dimensional character. This should be Franny's story and Dan should be fine as a limited character.

Boring, depressing, poorly written, poorly acted..... too frustrated and annoyed to even write a better review. The most memorable thing about the movie was many different variations of extremely loud lip smacking during: kissing, eating, drinking, snacking.
