This movie has good chemistry between Charlie Day and Jenny Slate. It's one of those classic feeling rom coms where you know the ending but you still want to see how they get there kind of thing. I will say the only small issue I had was certain scenes where Slate's character gets close to a middle schooler and drives the kid home without permission from his parents where they end up talking about sexual things (don't worry, it's not like that) as well as gives him her personal phone number to keep in contact with her...I don't know it just felt unnecessary and honestly a little creepy if this were a real life situation if that makes sense. I understand that they were setting it up to make her realize her true calling as a guidance counselor, but they could have gone about it another way. I will say this, the ending was albeit cheesy but very cute. I walked away (from my couch) feeling that both Slate and Day deserve more leading roles in the future.
