Review

very quickly falls into the rom-com genre, but without much of either. adam scott is good and there is other capable talent attached, but it never achieves lift off and is basically flat throughout. i blame this on the writer/director jennifer westfeldt. the last line of the film is “fuck the shit out of me” and it’s supposed to be romantic, so i guess you get the idea. i actually thought at the time “poor leading actress who had to deliver that line.” then i saw the credits role and i realized that the writer/director was also the leading lady. perhaps because she wanted to be a big star or perhaps because she couldn’t convince anyone else to deliver that line. not god awful.
