Good Character Writing
11 March 2023
Peter (Jason Segel) composes music for a television series. Sarah (Kristen Bell) stars on that show. They have been a couple for more than five years. When she breaks up with him, he can't get past his heartbreak, though he tries almost everything. In an effort to get away from everything that reminds him or her, he goes to Hawaii for a vacation---where he finds her also vacationing.

Jason Segel wrote this adult comedy. He's a very talented guy. This script is not groundbreaking, but it presents interesting characters in amusing situations. Kristen Bell is stunning in this film, making it easy to understand Peter's obsession with her. The script gives her plenty of scenes to chew on. Russell Brand plays the part of the guy you would least like to see your ex with. And Mila Kunis works at the hotel on Oahu where most of the action plays out.

There are some twists in the story, keeping it interesting. Though the romantic situations in this film are typical, you never know what Segel's characters might do.
