Funny But Very Cliché at Times...., 2 May 2013

Clayton Davis (Claytondavis@awardscircuit.com) from New Jersey
Where the romantic comedy A Case of You, starring Justin Long and Evan
Rachel Wood, succeeds is ultimately where it missteps. Directed Kat
Coiro assembles a terrific cast including the underutilized Sam
Rockwell and extremely memorable Peter Dinklage, however, the
screenplay that is co-written by Long along with brother Christian and
Keir O'Donnell doesn't have a true sense of identity. Tells the story
of a young man who thinks he's met the girl of his dreams and attempts
to court her by all interests and statuses from her Facebook page.
In an era where social media is prevalent and dating becomes the new
norm via a tweet or a poke, the story rings true in many ways. However,
the misguided title and evolution of events don't exactly scream fresh
and unique. Coiro manages some very funny moments and gets some decent
outcomes from some of the cast particularly Evan Rachel Wood and Peter
Dinklage. In its short running time, the film doesn't exactly feel
smooth and polished in the way a comedy needs to be.
With all the obvious flaws, A Case of You is still very entertaining
and enjoyable. Sam Rockwell is memorable in his few moments on-screen
along with Vince Vaughn and Brendan Fraser. Check it out when you can.
