Better than I was expecting, likeable characters with an unusual plot
30 January 2024
I came across this knowing nothing about the plot, because I enjoy seeing Ari Graynor and Justin Long in anything they're in, and the cameos from Kevin Smith and Ken Marino and Seth Rogen sounded fun, and with Seth's wife Lauren Miller as the co-lead it seemed enjoyable.

It starts off a bit slow with 3 characters who dislike each other, but when the 2 main characters find a common interest they warm to each other and it becomes more watchable.

It was funnier than I was expecting, not laugh out loud funny and there are times where the story takes over from the comedy, but I was giggling several times, and the characters are so likeable and adorable that you can't help but support them and want to see them succeed.

The twist towards the end is a bit strange and unexpected, but isn't too jarring to distract from the main plot. Although the plot resolves this almost immediately as soon as it's brought up, and soon after this the movie just ends.

It's a fun concept, the characters aren't very well developed, but it's enjoyable enough to keep you engaged during the short run time.
