Thoughts
There's not a huge amount to say about this film, it's a mediocre rom-com at best, some cute ideas and I did like the foreshadowing of the ending that I absolutely should have seen coming. It doesn't do so well that Topher Grace's character is sometimes a bit creepy, and Josh Duhamel's character isn't enough of a bad boy to make the choice obvious and easy. But mostly and good watch and of course Kathryn Hahn steals the show at every opportunity.
Rating: 2 / 5
