While watching this romcom it always seemed familiar as if I'd seen it before. It's because it's derivative of other films and is basically an imitation of When Harry Met Sally (1989). Having said that it's very watchable and for the most part entertaining mainly due to the two leads of Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie who have a strong on screen chemistry. They play Jake and Lainey, who meet in college, have a one night stand and then lose touch. Years later they meet and find they both have the same problem with relationships and decide to stay platonic friends. This cues lots of sexual tension and the film's ending is signposted for you in big bold letters! It's no spoiler really to spell it out.....They get together!! Of course they do. In this sense the films ultimately a routine affair and does become a little tiresome. Brie is a gifted comedy actor and for her alone the film is worth a look.
All the funny bits are in the trailer. Disappointing and lame. I had hoped this would be light fluffy entertainment, a bit of sorbet in between heavy fare but after no more than 20 minutes I didn’t even bother to continue on fast forward. Movies are expensive so how this got funding I have no idea.
