This movie describes itself as a comedy, but I found very little to be funny. I honestly found watching the characters insanely depressing and not thought provoking. There is no overall message other than "This too shall pass" and even then, the ending was a huge let down.
The actors did a good job with what was given to them, it is in no way their fault, in my opinion. However this whole thing came off like a bad student indie film made for a college exam. A huge disappointment. The two stars are for the actors' attempts.

My first review and I had to write it because it was so bad. Such a shame as a great cast but wow...
The main character is an emotionally manipulative abusive selfish person who has all of his behaviours 'romanticised' by the film. It's films like this that make people think stalking behaviour is romantic, lying is ok and that it's funny to be a complete **** if you think you've been heartbroken enough. It's not. This film is awful. It should have a warning or be banned.
If this is a comedy, it had exactly one second of laughter. If this is a drama, it had no salient moments. I watched it for free, but I can never get back the time wasted. Who can I sue?
I had some level of expectation from this movie based on the premise and the actors, but literally nothing happens in this film. I get that they were aiming for an indie-film feel, but still. We learn nothing about why these people broke up, other than the short glimpses into their past relationship, we don't know anything about them that would make them likable or root for one or both of them. For an indie film, there are too many cringe-worthy cliches, in every single scene. Poor Ryan Hansen is reduced to a sort of douchey annoying 'that's-who-she's-marrying' character.
Sad, frustrating watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend.
I finally found a Justin Long movie I don't like, I'm not a big fan of Cobie Smolders, so I don't get her being the "object of affection", I would have had a good time with Kristen Schaal's creepy doll lady character.
There is a bevy of good actors who came together for what was obviously someone's passion project, and maybe it even helped them address some issues.
The movie makes you feel things, but normally that takes you on an adventure, a story, towards an ending of some kind. This story, well written or not, doesn't go anywhere.
I definitely felt something: all the pain over years the same stupid feeling all rolled into one movie, so now I'm sad and hungry and raw.
Really, don't watch this if you're not feeling good because you're going to feel worse afterwards: whether that's to the movie's credit or not.
