If Anna Kendrick and Olivia Wilde weren't in this film, I probably would never have noticed it or cared to give it a chance. The fact that it took me this long to get around to it is a good indication of that. Free-spirited and laid-back, this film is not a treatise as much as depiction of young couples and their trials and travails.
It's intriguing on the surface, but "The Last Days of Disco" and "Chasing Amy" covered similar ground and with more eloquence and heart.
Jake Johnson has the main presence in this film as an immature, low-grade boyfriend whose crush on his co-worker puts his perspective at a crossroads. He's not anything approaching a hero or strong protagonist, but his character has a level of realism. I give the film credit for not being absolutely predictable. Recommended if you like any of the principals in this film.
