Admirable film.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This movie was so refreshing and true to real life. Director, Nathan Ives, did an excellent job with this film. All of the cast were wonderful. This movie covers relationships issues that many other movies do not portray accurately. This one hit in on the spot. The dating scene is such a challenge, so it is so nice to have a movie that looks at these challenges in a humorous and also serious way. The voices in the boyfriend's head are great and very true. We all have these voices that try to sway us different ways, and I have never seen a movie that depicts them this well. I give it and A+ and am going to have my boyfriend watch it!
Really enjoyed this film, it's a window into the mind of how guys (and girls) think. Dialogue is sharp and witty. Chemistry between the two lead actors was great. I'm originally from LA and it's kind of a postcard to Los Angeles as well. Some beautiful shots of downtown and what look like Silverlake. It nicely avoided the cliché' beach scenes so typical of films shot in LA.It was great seeing 'Janice' from friends in a more serious role. She plays a wonderful therapist in the film.A little slow here and there, but not bad. Over all I would definitely recommend it.
A smart and funny film about relationships. Unique way of using the "voices" in your head/self-conscious help tell a story. Thoroughly enjoyable, fun and something we can all relate to. The cast is amazing with excellent work from Ross McCall and Joelle Carter. Screenwriter and director Nathan Ives does an excellent job bringing the thought process of what you go through in a relationship to life. This is definitely not a chick-flick! It appeals to both males and females. The story telling through the different parts of your mind is smart and brings it more to life. It's funny when it needs to be and sincere when it needs to be. Definitely a film to watch over and over.
I loved this movie!! My husband (of 11 years) and I watched this together and we both loved it! Usually he is all about the action movies and I have to twist his arm to watch a rom-com. We really laughed A LOT during this film. It makes you appreciate the crazy crap we go through to find love. We ALL have those voices in put head that make falling in love a bit like a roller coaster ride, and it's fun to see it play out on the big screen. The character development is fun to watch and as the story unfolds you really get a sense for why commitment phobes act like they do, and more importantly how they can grow and change. Such a great film for both sexes... Definitely not just a "chick flick". Take your boyfriend/ husband and laugh together!
