Storyline

Can two serial cheaters get a second chance at love? After a one-night stand in college, New Yorkers Lainey (Alison Brie) and Jake (Jason Sudeikis) meet by chance twelve years later and discover they each have the same problem: because of their monogamy-challenged ways, neither can maintain a relationship. Determined to stay friends despite their mutual attraction, they make a pact to keep it platonic, a deal that proves easier said than done.

User Reviews

What Planet Do These People Live On?

Lots of trepidations writing this review, as I see others liked the movie, but, to be honest, I just thought it was atrocious, annoying, and highly irritating. I'm no prude and can enjoy a good sex comedy if it's funny, but when a film is just trying to be outrageously raunchy, lewd, and crude and is terribly unfunny, I'm looking for the nearest exit.

Jason Sudekis and Alison Brie are most talented actors, but their characters here are so obnoxious and self-absorbed that it all gets quite nauseating. What planet are they from? Maybe, I should ask do I belong on this planet, with a movie such as this getting some critical acclaim?

All in all, I've seen in some reviews comparisons of this movie with "When Harry Met Sally", with Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. Huh? To me, that was a real heart-felt classic rom-com from the past and, in my opinion, should not be compared to this crapola.
