It's a fun idea, and it all begins well enough but we're soon completely trapped in every standard romcom cliché. I honestly don't understand why people go through all the time and effort and costs of making a movie when you're just going to take the predictable route so many movies have done before.
Not what I expected, I figured there'd be more conflict in this film, but was actually very mild. The film has its moments of funny moments, but not quite on the high comedy level. For what it is, it's still a good movie; not great, but good enough. All and all, Stern was great in this movie; probably his best work in over 20 years! I hope he continues making hidden gems like this one.
I got 30 seconds into the Trailer and knew that I had to watch this film. It really didn't disappoint. I'd put it up there with films like Super or American Splendor. There are certain films that you can enjoy but know that you could live without, this isn't one of those films.
I loved every character in this except for the younger James at certain moments because he is just so infuriating. He can be having the perfect moment and just ruin it in an instant.
The film is about love and friendship, it is a truly romantic film along the lines of Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. It's a person torn between his life's work and the love of his life. It's got laugh out loud moments but I wouldn't call it a Comedy. It's just a great film.
I took a star off a perfect score because there was a slight moment in the film towards the end that I didn't think was necessary. It doesn't take away from the film but it felt a little forced. I loved this film though and I can see me watching it many times in the future.

I usually don't waste my time on anything rated less than 6.5.users are usually on point...but this time completely wrong. 5.7? Are you kidding me...this is definitely worth higher. Maybe if you were expecting a serious sci Fi thriller then you will be disappointed, but even if you were, and were then suprises by an emotionally intelligent film with good acting then you would definitely rate it higher. So glad I didn't listen to you negative reviwers.

Whoever does not like this movie is insane. It really teaches you to just appreciate life now. Even with all this coronavirus stuff going on now, why not appreciate what we have. Our wives, families, friends, God, our own lives, etc. We have so much to be appreciative and thankful for and I think this movie just kinda takes you away out of this reality we're living in now and helps you to be more thankful. At least that's what I got out of it.
