Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Watched this with my boyfriend and I actually enjoyed it a lot. The beginning of the movie seemed a little strange and at some points you do wonder what direction this movie is taking, not to mention the fact that Danny is a bit weird and you wonder if it's going to be a movie with a creep. Soon you realise it's more a guy who is just lost, trying to find a connection with someone and finding love. Yes he's a little antisocial and doesn't quite understand common social cues but hey life is not always easy right. But Colbie was really good in this role. I've always enjoyed her acting and she looks great in this movie. I think Colbie and Pearce did a good job and had pretty good chemistry. Pearce played the part of a 'tough guy' quite well My favourite part was how towards the end of the movie you actually end up believing in love again. It's a pretty quirky movie though and the boyfriend admitted that at some points he lost the plot sometimes but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The soundtrack is pretty good as well.

This is by all means a "little" simple movie. Nothing spectacular, performance or script-wise.The direction is boring and slow and the lack of music in most of the scenes makes more obvious the poor script and dialogs.The spotlight of "who is" the main protagonist is confusing. You may think initially that is Kevin Corrigan (a bad choice for this role) but he isn't. Actually all the characters are mild and seem insignificant.Cobie Smulders with a large experience in rom-com TV, makes her character a little less flat but in the end her talent is wasted. So are the talents of Guy Pearce and Giovanni Ribisi.Overall: Very simplistic. Not really cute. Not an actual comedy.

Well it started a bit slow, the plot it grows gradually until it peaks when Danny makes the surprising romantic dinner for Kat but there were absolutely no comedy bits before that for 40-50 minutes and as for a comedy genre movie this would really ruin the structure of the movie and distracted me a lot while i was so drastically trying to find a scene i could laugh at. It went all drama and just a little romance here and it was so expected the storyline itself got no surprises or any catchy flipping scenes . ,, and that was that.As for the cast; they were all engaging but not that role attractive if i might say, Guy Pearce and Kevin Corrigan were good when i saw Cobie Smulders names on the poster i expected it to be a How i met your mother good ,, but nope .. not even a 10% of the comedy.Overall, i watched .. yep it happened ,, but would i recommend it to my bitter nemesis .. hell yeah :D if i want him to die out of boredom .. okay maybe not that much .. but still don't expect a lot out of it.

I'll kick off by saying any film with the Anglo-Australian actor Guy Pearce in it will always draw me toward watching. He's that rarest of things - an actor who can act. An actor who is a bona fide film star. A bone fide film star who has achieved his status by rejecting Hollywood. In short, hats off to Guy Pearce.This film is a slow burn. Indeed, it's a bit of a tiresome slow burn. Contrary to most films which move at this slow a speed but which make sure they reveal some depth to the characters, we come to learn less about the characters in this movie as it progresses. Or, rather, and perhaps more accurately, we care less. Their 'inner turmoil' and 'hurting' are all self-inflcited and, were we to meet people like this in real life, we may very well be tempted to give them a kick in the behookey and tell them to get a grip.The ridiculously named Cobie Smulders plays the ridiculously named 'Kat'. She's a fitness instructor who possesses an excellent physical appearance but a sour and bitter emotional one. She works for Trevor (Pearce). She's also his ex-lover who becomes his lover again. That's what 104 minutes of this film tells us. Not much else that interests us happens.In the middle of this is Danny (Kevin Corrigan) a 'got-rich-quick' pot smoking no mark of a man. The plot stumbles for a short time around a flash in the pan sexual contact between Kat and Danny. It was never going to be interesting and resulted in exactly that.In addition, there's some Soviet weight-lifting guy, Grigory (Anthony Michael Hall - who was great in Aftermath [2013]), who appears to have nothing to do with anything which comes before his appearance in this movie, and precisely zero to do with all that follows it. In short, the script is rambling and was clearly written from the point of view 'Hey, we got nothing to lose'. And, doggedly, it stays on that road - chasing after imaginary shadows with nothing to lose because there was nothing there to start with. The direction is average. The cinematography sufficient. Locations anonymous. Supporting cast immediately forgettable.So, what are we left with? We're back where I started - Guy Pearce. And it's to his credit that this film keeps the viewer watching from the beginning to the end. Because he's the talent here. He adds the clever guitar solo to a dull, lacking in melody B-side of a movie.6 out of 10 - thanks Guy.
