This movie is streaming on Netflix, perfect place to see it. I probably would have liked it a lot less if I'd spent money on it. But it was a great Friday night movie with my significant other. Lots of laughs in the movie, mixed with relationship issues that everyone has encountered one time or another.

I loved (500) Days Of Summer, one of my favorite movies. This movie left me wanting a lot more. I never connected with the characters, felt the "daddy issues" have already been done too many times, and how does a kid stay drunk that often (oftentimes while driving). The acting wasn't bad, but I just couldn't wait for the movie to end so I could leave the theater.

This film made me feel as if I was falling in love, and then getting to experience the ups and downs of a relationship with the characters. I've read reviews saying how people didn't like the montage feel of the film, but I felt like it helped it. Who wants to sit and watch all the little boring moments when you can just highlight the moments that impact the couple the most. I felt it was very realistic, the acting was wonderful, and I left the theater undecided if I felt heartache or hope for the couple. I would definitely recommend this film.
