Happy Anniversary

It's a believably romantic story told over a weekend or so. Good movie, funny, doesn't take itself too seriously.

I had just watched Woody Allen's Wonder Wheel a day earlier (another romance film) and I have to say this movie was so much better than that.

The chemistry between couple was superb (unlike the other film where they had none). The acting from Noel Wells (1st time seen her in something) and Ben Schwartz (he was the reason I watched the film, I really liked him in other shows I have seen him in) was very good. They worked together well. Bounced off one another. Looked and felt like a real couple. The friendship between Ben Schwartz and Rahul Kohli was high quality too.

I wasn't expecting much from this film. I was hoping for passable and wasn't even truly expecting that. So to get a film that was watchable and enjoyable was a nice surprise.

I liked the characters. I liked their chemistry together. I liked the dialogue in the movie. The pacing was good. Kept it short and that worked well. I liked how the movie told the story of the couple's 3rd anniversary but also included flashbacks to give you an idea of what their relationship was like (the good and the bad) to let you the viewer understand how they arrived at this point. And how hard it was for them to figure out whether this relationship was simply good or marriage worthy.

A pleasant surprise. Worth a viewing.

Good film, good acting, decently funny, nothing ground breaking, nothing which makes it particularly stand out, probably won't be something I remember or ever come back to but if you have nothing else to do and you want to watch a shortish film, why not give this one a try?

Though there are some faults with this film I can't say that I would say you shouldn't watch it, if someone asked me should I watch this film? I would defiantly say yes but I wouldn't out right tell anyone that this is a great piece of cinema that they should watch.

4/2/18. Awful. Barely made it to the 10-minute mark. A couple is going to try and talk their way through the day of their third anniversary. If they have to talk about it, then it's not a happy anniversary and there shouldn't be a fourth one either.

I started watching this and couldn't get past the first 10 minutes. The characters are boring. Not enough to keep you hooked.
