Loved the focus on story instead of heavy action, it's really more of a thinking person's film as opposed to those wanting heavy comic book-like stimulation. The characters were consistent with people who most individuals already know, making them relatable and therefore people you want to root for. The script was fun, breezy and a great love letter to Chicago and relationships.
I have to say, this film let me down. The actors all did a decent job, but the script is fatally weak, with no real conflict in any of the stories, very stiff and exposition-heavy dialogue, self-indulgent navel-gazing, simplistic characters, inconsistent characterization, awkward self-awareness, and a lot of telling instead of showing. Do not recommend.
I cannot believe I actually spent the money to come see this program... what a waste of time. This man clearly had no idea what he was doing. I think my children could make a better movie on their iphone with their friends.

If this was supposed to represent the beginning, middle and end stages of relationships, it was poorly told . Unconvincing dialogue from start to end.
I caught the Chicago premiere of Michael Smiths "Rendezvous in Chicago,"
Well written and beautifully filmed. Worth checking out if you haven't yet.
