    Fortunately I watched it for free on SKY

    If this is a comedy, it had exactly one second of laughter. If this is a drama, it had no salient moments. I watched it for free, but I can never get back the time wasted. Who can I sue?

    This is going to be wait for it.

    Rubbish. Imagine HIMYM but it only had the neurotic dorky unlikeable Ted without Barney to make it watchable and this is it. Justin Long plays Ted chasing Robin just under different names.

    A comedy?

    This movie describes itself as a comedy, but I found very little to be funny. I honestly found watching the characters insanely depressing and not thought provoking. There is no overall message other than "This too shall pass" and even then, the ending was a huge let down.

    The actors did a good job with what was given to them, it is in no way their fault, in my opinion. However this whole thing came off like a bad student indie film made for a college exam. A huge disappointment. The two stars are for the actors' attempts.

    Just So Bad.

    I think I have written maybe two reviews in my life, and that's because movies were SO AMAZING that it needed to be said. In this case, it's just... so... not... worth... watching. There is no other way to say that whoever's fault this ridiculous waste is should be dragged across hot coals. I adore Justin, and I'm learning to like Cobie... DEFINITELY as a comedy duo they should have clicked and this had all the potential to be a great movie that was needed. Love the backdrop of San Fran and that lifestyle... really, I'm thinking chalk this up to supremely bad writing, directing and editing. Absolutely zero redeeming qualities here. I am surprised that halfway through filming Justin didn't stand up and walk off set in protest.

    A film trying to justify abusive behaviour. Just. No.

    My first review and I had to write it because it was so bad. Such a shame as a great cast but wow... The main character is an emotionally manipulative abusive selfish person who has all of his behaviours 'romanticised' by the film. It's films like this that make people think stalking behaviour is romantic, lying is ok and that it's funny to be a complete **** if you think you've been heartbroken enough. It's not. This film is awful. It should have a warning or be banned.
