Honest, heartbreaking, yet also heartwarming. I loved the indie feel of this movie. Even though her living in a beautiful brownstone when she only worked at a bridal shop (and was also an unpaid aspiring author) was a tad unrealistic, it made for some great scenery. I loved the acting, the dry humor, and the chemistry between the two. Would definitely recommend.

This film definitely consisted of choppy scenes, uninteresting writing, and a slow progression throughout the movie. Also contained long and unnecessarily awkward scenes and a great absence of background music. Nevertheless, the main characters are quirky and fun.

An American romantic comedy; A story about a young woman who is forced to reflect on her first relationship when she inadvertently moves into her ex-boyfriend's apartment building. There are some fresh moments in this droll and occasionally amusing indie, even if it may feel like a familiar storyline. It is told from a mix of present-day scenes and flashbacks but they do nothing to stop the characters looking stranded at times. Mamet is charismatic in her quirkiness but by equal measure her character is irritatingly self-absorbed. All in all, the naval-gazing is diverting, even if the characters lack distinctiveness.

These kind of stories have been done a million times. Don't get me wrong. I love Zosia Mamet. But this story just has nothing special to it, so much so that I struggle to understand why it is made into a movie in the first place.

The lead actress was unattractive and just annoys the hell out of you with all the nervous ass attempts at conversation : "um...uh...yeah...well I...I...I guess...yeah...um...ok" UGH!!!!!! I would literally walk away from anyone that couldnt get a full sentence out like that. The plot was good but that character was just irritating

If you're not a basic b*tch, you'll like it. A movie that actually mirrored real life vernacular and awkward moments and REAL RELATIONSHIPS.

I loved the acting and the story is so cute. The only thing I didn't love about this movie is the fact that we didn't get to see a proposal.

Sometimes a movie gets lost in the shuffle. Certainly the plot is old and often told but movie making is all in the telling. Zosia Mamet give a memorable performance with an authenticity that moves one and forces identification. Her performance is so effortless that it is easy to miss the exceptional acting. Which means that the acting was superb. The movie captures the hesitation to expose feelings in love while recognizing that the goal of love is to share life with someone who loves you as well. Perhaps the promotion was weak. But this movie is a must see and brings a catharsis to all who struggle with commitment but do dare to risk to truly love and be loved.

Terrible acting, terrible plot! This movie was horrendous!! It was boring and ridiculous! Sorry I wasted my time!

Wonderful acting by lead actors, movies seems "same old story" at first but grows on you as characters struggle with their relationship. Draws you in with sincerity and feelings.
