The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The plot is ridiculous. That is the funniest part of the movie - the stupid sequence of circumstances. I certainly don't remember laughing at any lines. The characters are not likable at all. As for Fred, if his lips are moving he is lying. And his live-in girlfriend is out of town, so he has a one night stand. He spends almost all of the movie manipulating Mindy so she won't be pregnant. And all this time spent with Mindy is while his live-in girlfriend is texting him constantly that she is on the way home. Mindy is just plain nutty and in my opinion not too bright. She doesn't care that she had unprotected sex neither fearing STD's nor that it took place right in the middle of her fertile cycle. She apparently recently had sex with another man not too long prior to Fred because a used condom is on top of the trash in her bathroom. Apparently she isn't entirely truthful either. But Mindy might be a little likable in a sweet, affectionate sort of way. Fred's live-in girlfriend is even meaner than Fred, but her screen time is so much less than either of the other two, she really had to pour it on in the time she had to display her mean and manipulative side. The writers seem to have no problem with a woman taking sex from a man with either no consent, or half-hearted consent. They also can't seem to find any funny dialogue.I only watched this movie and stuck with it because I like Rachel Boston. Poor woman had little to work with in this script and got to show very little of her usual sunny disposition. There were a few scenes of the two people "having fun", but Rachel had to try too hard to make that impression and it really didn't work very well. As for Noah Bean, he had only one mode through the entire film and it wasn't happy. As another person commented, usually a Romantic comedy has romance. Not this one. Sex, yes but with clothes on, and no romance.

Somebody should have taken a pill instead of giving birth to this movie. A romantic comedy needs certain ingredients to Work. 1) It needs to be romantic. 2) It needs to be funny once in a while. 3) It needs characters that that we can care about. Sadly it fails on all counts. The main character, (awful acting by the way), is to put it mildly not very likable and it remains a mystery why she fell for him in the first place. I mean the guy has 2 facial expressions. A nervous smile with lots of teeth and another that probably is supposed to look panicked. There's virtually no plot at all except his attempts to get her to take the pill. The woman does slightly better with her part. Actually showing a bit of character, but the script doesn't give her much to Work with. Waste of time !!

******* contain some Spoilers *******I normally don't write movie reviews, but this movie is so terrible that I just have to warn others.There are three main characters in this movie: Fred (an extremely dishonest, manipulative and selfish cheater who want's to be seen as a ''good guy'') Mindy (a crazy, manipulative, selfish, borderline and hysterical woman) and Nelly (A cheater who counts condoms). In short: all three of them are ass-holes.Now, Fred and Nelly are in a live-in relationship, and Fred thinks that Nelly treat him as his personal assistant because she keeps asking him for favors. And he, being an selfish ass-hole, dislikes doing favors for her. He also thinks that she is a control-freak, because she asks him not to walk around the apartment with his shoes on. But being the manipulative coward that he is, he doesn't got the guts to have an honest conversation with Nelly about it. Instead, he secretly 'rebels' against Nelly by cheating on her with a lunatic named Mindy. This lunatic tries to con him into a relationship with her by becoming pregnant - although they've just met and don't even know each other! And just as a side note - Mindy says she is a'catholic' and therefore believes in sleeping around with each and everybody without taking an after pill!!! Then she drags him around and introduce him to her crazy family as her 'boyfriend'. And Fred thinks that all this annoying insanity is 'the best day in his life' and he falls in love with this devious creature called Mindy. So, he leaves his 'controlling' girlfriend because the controlling, needy, crazy, devious, manipulative, hysterical, borderline, selfish, phony, hypocritical, shallow, promiscuous and bad- mannered MINDY is so much better!So basically, he left a 'control-freak who doesn't respect him' for another control-freak who doesn't respect him. This is really where this movie became so senseless and annoying that I stopped caring about what's going to happen to these scum-bags. To hell with Fred and Mindy, the two devious frauds who really do deserve each other. And the director Khoury who thinks that being a lunatic is the same as being a ''free-spirit''. Everyone in this movie, including the director, needs serious mental help.In short, don't waste your time on this rotten movie. You would hate to meet devious frauds like Mindy and Fred in real life, so don't waste your time on watching them on a TV-Screen. This is seriously the worst movie ever.

DAMN YOU NETFLIX!!! This was recommended to me by Netflix, and after ignoring it for a few months I finally decided to give it a try. Bad idea. The characters in this movie are not likable and the story is unbelievable.During a one-night stand Fred is kind of manipulated by Mindy into going without a condom, and then literally held in place, which leads to the necessity of the morning after pill. Mindy, in the beginning, is completely neurotic, appears to be a pathological liar, and proceeds to fight Fred every step of the way. They end up spending a very strange day together in which nothing happens to make the viewer think Mindy is anything other than crazy. Fred starts out as a guy who is being manipulated, changes into a guy who can't seem to be honest and forthright, and eventually settles into a cheater (still a doormat and way too concerned that no one think he's a bad guy).All in all the writing and progression were awful, it is inconceivable that these people end up together, and this is in no way romantic or comedic. The directing wasn't too bad.
