Is today the day?

I don't know. Maybe.

What's your gut tell you?

That I'm nauseous.
Bobby:
How 'bout less literally...
Kate:
I'm afraid of deciding.

I'm *not* afraid of either scenario, but it's just - I want this to be something we're doing, not something we're not doing.
Kate:
What does *this* mean?
Bobby:
This, meaning whatever we decide.

I put this film because I got a crush on Lynn Collins and think Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a good budding star. I got my money's worth from their performances, in fact I think Collins is more than just looks, but the plot deflating in the family driven sense and the Manhattan sequence advances the tension which constantly stalls for the family sequence. Confused... yeah I was too. I looked up the film's synopsis and it made more sense.
Think of it like this, the 2010 season of Lost. Two story lines inter-cutting based on a slight change in life. I'm not wild about this film, but it deserves attention for the performances from the leads and for being original, which is a rarity nowadays.
