When Todd (Adam Scott) takes a picture of Gena (Lizzy Caplan) on his phone, you see the screen for a moment. The picture it shows is actually of a small, fluffy, white dog, not Gena.

User Reviews

I really liked it

So, to start with, I feel like people have really weird expectations from movies these days. There weren't high points or low points, which I think people have an issue with. I did laugh out more than a few times, but this movie reminded me of my friends so maybe I could just relate. The reason I liked it the most is because it was just natural. A little above being "realistic" but as realistic as movies go. The characters have problems and you watch them deal with them..and some of them aren't resolved. Which is great. I hate when movies tie everything up into a little edible package easily swallowed.

Kirsten Dunst was awesome and way more powerful and commanding than she usually is. I liked seeing her this way. The other characters were great too. They may not be the most likable people but they match each other well. There is even this underlying feeling as if they've really known each other for a long time. Great acting. Great plot. I'll be watching it again.
