I didn't know what to expect, but this movie kept my attention, had some interesting subplots, and was genuinely sweet and funny. The lead was likable and the pug was adorable. I enjoyed Sarah's interactions with her family, her work life, and there was even some romance. If you enjoy romantic comedies or even family films featuring animals, this may be the film for you.

Couple a great script with two attractive veteran actors with great chemistry and voila, you get this gem of a movie. The performances given by Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are spot on and hilarious. As said in other reviews, you are reminded of Before Sunrise except without the melancholy and much more humor. Being a fan of both actors, I admittedly wanted to like this, but this film exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.

As a proud Howard University alum, I knew that after reading the synopsis I had to watch this film. I have attended many Homecomings over the years and thought it would be cool to relive them again vicariously through the characters in this movie. And here I thought I would be reliving yard festivals, parades and step shows! Boy was I wrong! The actual plot in this film was completely unexpected to say the least. It was actually much more profound than the synopsis let on. I was pleasantly surprised by the characters and the competent writing which had a few layers. The ending and film, in general, was an original take on a deep subject matter. I most definitely recommend this film to any viewer who enjoys character driven plots and more depth to storytelling; and also for those have ever attended college or an HBCU (Historically Black College and University) and still hold those college friendships near and dear.
