It's Not You, It's Me

I am not typically a romantic comedy person, preferring more the depth of character that I usually find in indie dramas. It was a pleasant surprise when my local Meetup chose this film for our weekly event. I felt like I was sitting with friends, the comedy not overacted. The funny part was the personification of the different thought processes that run through our heads. Boy, could I relate to that! It definitely deviated from the standard, Hollywood Romantic Comedy. There was almost no music, which was a plus because it didn't detract from the acting. The music that was there was enjoyable. The cinematography was simple and pure. A funny, feel good 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.

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.

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.

I was invited to see the film "It's Not You, It's Me. and I really enjoyed it. The love the creativity of the storyline. That way of live really do exist and sometimes we are not sure what to listen to. I can definitely identify with being surrounded with so many different choices. Not one time did I ever get bored or did I got lost. Nathan's ideas and writing revealed how easy it is to get caught up, lost, regretful and damaged all at the same time. I applaud Nathan on his creativity and thought process. The actors all did a awesome job and did a well in portraying those thoughts and feelings. Greay job Nathan and keep those creative juices flowing! I look to see your name on the screen a lot more!
