A rating of 6.8 suggests that is almost a decent film. When quite frankly it isn't. Its not as bad as Leap Year (worst film ever made) but its not fit to be mentioned in the same Breath as 500 Days of Summer.
It tries way to hard to be quirky and cool which just makes it look childish. The kitchen scene, annoying. Woman falling backwards on the stairs. Annoying.
Daniel Radclife is actually the best thing in this film. He's dry English sense of humour works. The girl is sweet and is also OK. But as for the supporting cast, every single one of them is annoying.
Rafe Spall is usually very funny (I Give it a Year & X&Y) But he is so bad in this with a woeful American accent that every time he was on screen I wanted to turn it off. The scene in the meeting when his phone rings and he picks it up. Stupid on so many levels. Annoying.
It doesn't challenge any stereotypes what so ever, with the predictable ending suggesting that indeed, men and woman can not be friends. To quote a line from the film 'Grow up, not all men want to sleep with every woman they get on with'.
If you're a teenager you'll probably like it. I guess its aimed at that market. Although my 34 year old single flatmate recommended it speaks volumes, as I hate every film she's told me to watch. I should have known better.
