Manthast Absolutely amazing
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
mehammody Simple and great, need a little work but in the end it's good
SmackDabb This is a movie that stays on point with our protagonist Adam (Justin Long) throughout the entirety of the film. Its about the nature of relationships and how not all of them end after they end so to speak. Watch this film from Adam's point of view and it suddenly becomes engrossing because you can never guess how someone in this situation will react to a combination of jealousy, rage, longing, confusion, and love. The complexity of panicked emotions that accompany heavy romantic relationships are showcased here very well. This is a great addition to those who love serious but also witty relationship films. Justin Long is a wonderful actor who is able pull off a detailed rendition of a hopeless romantic on the verge of self destruction. If you were entertained after seeing this look up and watch Justin Long's other film " Comet ". You shouldn't be disappointed!
ellencontributor This is literally a movie about a man named Adam being cuckold by another man named Aaron who is marrying Adam's ex-girlfriend Allison.The movie stars with Adam getting the news that he is invited to Allison's wedding. Adam then takes his current girlfriend to a fancy restaurant where he proposes marriage in what seems like a romantic gesture. But immediately after proposing, he changes his mind and says that he can't wake up next to that face day after day for the rest of his life. And he breaks it off making an ass of himself.After that we find out that Adam and his ex were together for 8 years before she met Aaron. Then after just one year, Allison is marrying Aaron and she has invited Adam to her wedding so that they can remain friends post-breakup. Adam goes to the wedding but the whole time Adam is freaking out. His best friend has to video chat with him constantly to give him advice and help him with his morale.Finally after the train wreck that is Adam watching the love of his life marry someone else and the rejection that follows when he tries to get her back, Adam causes a scene. Adam is then chased away by an irate Aaron, and Adam boards a bus and waves goodbye to Allison. After that we are left with scenes of Adam hiking and motor boating ostensibly by himself.
screechy_jim I'll make this swift and to the point.This film really has no redeeming factors. Worse! It made me squirm restlessly in my seat as our protagonist "Adam" as lame an excuse for a man as you will ever meet, still pining pitifully (Seriously, like a sick old dog) for his ex, goes through as series of uncomfortable situations as he actually goes back to his home town to attend her wedding. There are no words to describe how unpleasant this experience was for me and even my GF who sat beside me in nearly as much discomfort found it difficult going; even remarking at one point how it is possible for a castrated man to have a girlfriend in the first place.Not once did I laugh, obviously because it wasn't funny and the moments that were scripted to be humorous were just pathetic, but also because the underlying plot for this film is no laughing matter. I'm not saying such a plot should never be tackled, I'm sure there are outfits that could have done a good job with this material and made a side splitting production, but it is dealt with very poorly here indeed. I would no more laugh at this than I would a disabled person having difficulty navigating steep stairs. If any of my friends were in this position and behaving in this manner I would seriously suggest they seek professional help. That I made it to the end is a testament to my persistence.There is no level on which I found this entertaining and I suggest you give it a miss. In the off chance you do decide to see how bad it is, you will only need to see the first fifteen minutes, that will give you a very clear idea of what your in for, it only goes downhill from there.Total rubbish
