I got curious after some positive review elsewhere, and since this looked like it could be a nice sort of blend of 'Girls' and 'Louie', I decided to give it a go. After the film I read some really positive comments on ICM, and was a little surprised. The movie really isn't bad, but I'd say I was only half charmed by leading lady Jenny Slate, and the film. It turns out I've seen her before in 'Girls' (must have, but I don't really remember) and I must have heard her before in the very funny show 'Bob's burgers' (during the movie, I díd think of Donna as being a real life, later on character from that show from time to time). And now that I'm checking her list, I'm sure I saw her in 'Parks and recreation' (okay show, much in the vein of 'The office' U.S.) as well.
Anyway. A romantic comedy. And funny. But awkward. Very awkward. Then cute. Then funny. But awkward. Then sexy and energetic for a bit. Then back to funny. And awkward. Then sweet. Etc.. The end. I exaggerate, because I was really just half charmed most of the time. The direction and cinematography were quite plain, and Jake Lacy did hardly convince me. But a lot of the content, commenting on many modern day and more general subjects, was interesting and witty enough.
Special mention: Richard Kind's small part as the father, always a pleasure to see him perform.
Shall we say, a decent 6 out of 10? Done.
