Billed as a comedy, it really is not very funny. The quirkiness of the characters is somewhat interesting and the drama is not bad, but the movie is not compelling enough to recommend.

He suffered a childhood trauma and has created a number of alternate personas to live with his grief. All his friends love him and he seems to be the best at his game in everything. But he won't let anyone else in so when she begins to notice him she tries to get him to open up to her. He brings her into his world but he doesn't want to open up to her which eventually pushes her away. She realises from her friends she chose incorrectly so she tries again.....

It's sweet but its slow.

Good Scripting Good Filming Good Acting Good Sound Track

Its worth a watch 👍

4/10 - silly and forgettable direct-to-streaming rom-com never really proves why it exists nor why you should spend your time watching it.

As much as I pushed to watch till the end, hoping for an interesting twist.. nothing! The story could unravel differently but it's just weird how the events went and how the characters are forcefully interfering .. and the end is soooooooo predictable and empty.

It seemed like it could have made a decent film.It wasn't. I hate to pick on small, independent films, but this just wasn't wachable. The star actor was really bad and not much to look at for 90 minutes.

Not chemistry between the leads who are also very unlikable. Couldn't care less if they got together.

So pretentious and trying way too hard to be cooky

A yawnfest.

Sara (Cleopatra Coleman) is a feminist writer turned trashy romance novelist. Her best friend and agent Kelly (Iliza Shlesinger) is desperate for a new book but Sara is struggling with writer's block. She encounters Godfrey (Nick Thune) randomly in two different places with him portraying two completely different characters. He's a chameleon and a highly successful salesman. He keeps changing his personality and one never knows the real Godfrey. Sara is intrigued.

This movie depends on the audience to empathize with Sara. One needs to see Godfrey as fascinating. Sara's a writer and I can see this as an intriguing exercise. I'm not a writer or an actor. I don't find him fascinating. Right from the start, I saw Godfrey as faking his performance. It takes a long time before he shows his true face. He keeps me at a distance as the audience. I'm just not as invested as Sara for her quest. It also taints the meet-cute. I do like Coleman but this rom-com is not getting me.

As the title says its a love story with a twist It's one that is not as predictable as the rest and a great story behind it.

Very rare and unique story compared to every other love story.

This must be the worst written and performed movie in many decades. How could the actors in it not know they are in a very bad movie unless they are really bad actors. Ridiculous plot, complete lack of humor, pacing, any semblance of intelligence. I watched for Coleman's incredible lips and fast forwarded thru a lot of this pathetic film. Since the review is still too short and I have nothing positive to say, I will continue to type until I reach the required number of characters , and I still need 100 and if I knew this had to be so long, I wouldn't have started. I can't believe people get funded to make such trash.

Great story idea. All of the makings of something fun, loving, learning and romantic.

The chemistry seemed a little flat. Not exactly there in my opinion. And from time to time I felt irritated by the sound of one's voice and stupid liners from the delivery of one's script in the movie. Did the purposely do that? Or was it the delivery from one's acting skills?. I don't know how and what to make of it.

The underlying subject is not easy. And to deal with such matters takes skills and understanding in addressing likely trauma.

More exposure from other parties would have likely added more drama and given more picture and emotional expression to this "wanna be better" flick.

Enjoy.

This is a strangely beautiful and funny movie to watch, don't let the rating put you off watching it. (not perfect, but it is most definitely great)

I watched this movie without reading critiques, reviews or ratings on it and it blew me away. I'm so used to relying on IMDB ratings to choose what I watch that I trust them blindly, but they can be very misleading. I realize now that watching a movie without external influence (bias) makes the experience purer and more enjoyable.

This movie is rather good. Unusual plot and characters put in a rather familiar environment, picturesque settings, tear jerkers and a lot of fun. Upon reflection I appreciate this movie in the same way I appreciated "The Life of Pi" - an exacerbated or altered story which makes it fun to watch and harsh to reflect upon.

This is a story about the human need for company, be it family, a friend or a lover we all need someone to pull us out of that dark place we go to sometimes. For him the trauma and escapism, for her depression, for me nihilism.

Really sweet and interesting movie. Would love if they did a second one!

Great quirky take on the age old love story. Lots of humour mixed with a look at some serious psychological scarring. The acting's great witch goes hand in hand with great directing, good scripting, good cinematography, all in all a very enjoyable and enlightening watch. I would highly recommend.

I could not feel any chemistry between the two main characters, so much so that every conversation they have, seems so unnatural and forced. I gave this movie a 5, just because of the topic of mental issue, but other than that, I wouldn't watch it again.
