In my opinion, Get Well Soon follows an intelligent, unique direction and is surely worth a watch. Courtney Cox and Vincent Gallo have an interesting, believable, albeit slightly odd, connection and this works well throughout the film. Both roles have been cast well, as even though the characters don't seem too complicated, their is clearly a lot of depth to each of them which would be difficult to act. The storyline is completely different to other rom-coms (if you insist on placing this film in that category), and the way some people are reporting of predictability and repetition in GWS, is complete madness. If nothing else, this storyline is certainly unique. You could say the film has a dark side, and I agree, but that is definitely intentional and makes it much more interesting. Aren't you all getting sick of unrealistic romance? The fact that the two main characters aren't loved-up from the beginning is a bonus for me, as it makes the whole thing more enjoyable to watch as the various, wacky plots unfold on-screen. This film has been subtly directed to suit the plot lines; there are no fancy-shmancy camera shot sequences, which works well and makes the whole thing more believable. The script was not written by genius's, and perhaps you won't find the story completely relevant but if you don't find this film remotely eyecatching and funny, there is something wrong with you! There was definitely not substantial credibility given when it first came out in 2001.
I can watch it time and time again for the wackiness of the characters and the comical twists which surprise me a bit more every time. And for these reasons, I give this film a well deserved 8/10.
