Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Was good, but the ending wasn't what I hope for. Definitely could expand into another movie or add an alternate better ending.

This was not at all how I expected it, well to be fair I had got in my head that it was a comedy, I have seen Jake M. Johnson in the New Girl series and Olivia Wilde in House, so both are serious actors but also known for a mix of drama and comedy, I had hoped for more comedy then drama.I actually think the film and story is good, it is very realistic scenarios they go through and they play their parts very well. So for a drama this film is quit likable, not as much for a comedy :)But take it for a spin, it will surprise you and you might like it, if you go for a simple everyday life drama kind of thing.

I usually write reviews of the movies I dislike as warnings to those about to view them but this time, I thought this small film should get some credit and hopefully encourage a few out there to see it. The writer/director has really nailed the complexities and emotional confusions that arise from relationships and how we really tip toe around what we really want or mean. Some people can express their needs and feelings more openly but it's always uncomfortable when the two aren't on the same wavelength or even know what they want. This is all expressed so well in this film. I read that some have said that nothing happens in this film. I'd say they weren't looking very deeply or are perhaps less in touch with themselves to have missed that there is so very much going on. Of course, if you are looking for the staged emotional rides of many rom-coms or perhaps want a riotous action comedy this is not for you. The acting is excellent all around and the director does an excellent job of piecing together the steps that lead the characters to their particular destinations, which don't always work out in storybook fashion. Sit back, relax and enjoy a film that encourages you to get into the character's heads and wonder how you would respond in their situations.

Neither one of the leads were likable. The two most likable characters to me were the two side characters. I could tell the movie was mostly improvised and the actors did not feel natural in that environment. There were times when it clicked, but not often. Some of the dialog was good in these moments, but it was never consistent. I remember laughing once during the whole movie and rolling my eyes for most of it. The two cast members, Ron Livingston and Anna Kendrick, were not the main focus of the movie and the only reason I watched it. In general I do not like Jake Johnson and I have no opinion on Olivia Wilde. I guess they both did an OK job, but they were both so annoying in general
