Featured reviews
Max Landis' writing is unique and has both hits and misses. This movie succeeds in part with the impressive tonal shifts in the story as well as some original characters.
The movie plays like a Diablo Cody-thing gone off the rails, which is a good thing, if you're prepared for that kind of stuff.
The action was unexpectedly well executed, but hard to really be engaged with because of the chaotic approach to genre.
If you're into something light and fun and tired of the tropes being played over and over again, then this is the next film, you should watch.

As a 90's kid that was probably pretty close to either Sam Rockwell's or Anna Kendrick's while this was made, I was brought back to the "quirky" days with this movie. However, I do also remember the specific idea that this movie was trying to be. It is way above average. If you are a child of my generation, you will love this film despite its reliance on the cuteness of the characters. Anna Kendrick does a phenomenal job playing a girl wrapped up in a world she couldn't understand, and Adam Rockwell does good playing an anti-John Wick. Suspension of disbelief is very much required to truly appreciate this film, but if you can, it is actually magical. It's just plain fun. It's almost a period piece. I liked it as much as one possibly could within reality boundaries. Reality is, that with a different generation's eyes, this is probably a cringe piece. However, I enjoyed it. A lot. Kudos to the direction for keeping mostly on point.
I saw the trailer a couple weeks ago and knew I wanted to watch just to see Anna Kendrick. I just now finished the movie and I'm impressed with the whole cast. The movie is not very original (i.e any killer couple movie), but the humor is absolutely spot on. It's very sarcastic and just over the top dumb, and I absolutely loved it. Sam and Anna have fantastic chemistry and really work off each other. I found myself pausing just so I could laugh about how ridiculous some things were. And all in a good way. It's a little violent if you aren't into that, but all in a very light tone. If you're in the mood for a silly comedy that isn't super raunchy or sexual, this is the perfect one. I loved it. I honestly would love to see a sequel, or hopefully Sam and Anna work together again in the future.
I accidentally found this movie on a plane, and the flight was just under being long enough and sought out to rewatch from the start as it captured me! I really liked this movie, I like it so much I literally created a log in to say so. My review isnt funny, witty or relevant in any way but I feel like this movie is something you should give a go as you might find yourself laughing and bopping along!
The sound track is so up beat and the characters are wacky but enjoyable. I sometimes play this movie in the background while I'm pottering around just because it makes me happy! Although I think the two leads are the oddest couple ever, somehow they make it work.
Overal all, super enjoyable and perky. Please just watch it

I read some reviews saying this is "shallow"?! not funny and a bunch of other absurd stuff like that. I mean seriously what depth exactly did you expect from such film?.. Enough with the sofa "experts" saying whatever they read somewhere else and actually review this..
This film is entertaining with a really unique way, (i wont deny that the humor is really not for everyone) They create all sort of weird situations that make you laugh with the fact that they even happening like that.
It also includes some fighting scenes that are actually really good with nice choreography. The plot has no holes in it, and i mean none,everything is covered just fine.
grab some popcorn relax and you will have fun while it lasts. i would recommend it.
