Favorite Quote:
I don't... I don't think you ever find someone... you don't resent. And that's part of it. It's just... find the person you *want* to resent, you know.
Review:
This was a weird film. The opener had much promise, but as the film continued, it felt like it was just getting longer.
My biggest gripe with the film is that I liked each of the characters less as I got to know them. I understand that the film attempted to highlight the modern relationship for a specific generation, and in certain ways, it succeeded in doing so. However, the characters never grew or became better people from their relationships...they just sort of moved on. And in a random way.
The acting was actually decent, but again, the plot just felt flat where it shouldn't have.
All in all, it's like they highlighted the relationship you won't remember...for each of the characters.
Nothing profound. Slightly okay film for an easy watch or background fodder.
Grade: 1.75/5
