O Escolhido

Sara (Cleopatra Coleman) is a feminist writer turned trashy romance novelist. Her best friend and agent Kelly (Iliza Shlesinger) is desperate for a new book but Sara is struggling with writer's block. She encounters Godfrey (Nick Thune) randomly in two different places with him portraying two completely different characters. He's a chameleon and a highly successful salesman. He keeps changing his personality and one never knows the real Godfrey. Sara is intrigued.

This movie depends on the audience to empathize with Sara. One needs to see Godfrey as fascinating. Sara's a writer and I can see this as an intriguing exercise. I'm not a writer or an actor. I don't find him fascinating. Right from the start, I saw Godfrey as faking his performance. It takes a long time before he shows his true face. He keeps me at a distance as the audience. I'm just not as invested as Sara for her quest. It also taints the meet-cute. I do like Coleman but this rom-com is not getting me.

As the title says its a love story with a twist It's one that is not as predictable as the rest and a great story behind it.

Very rare and unique story compared to every other love story.

As much as I pushed to watch till the end, hoping for an interesting twist.. nothing! The story could unravel differently but it's just weird how the events went and how the characters are forcefully interfering .. and the end is soooooooo predictable and empty.

I could not feel any chemistry between the two main characters, so much so that every conversation they have, seems so unnatural and forced. I gave this movie a 5, just because of the topic of mental issue, but other than that, I wouldn't watch it again.

Great quirky take on the age old love story. Lots of humour mixed with a look at some serious psychological scarring. The acting's great witch goes hand in hand with great directing, good scripting, good cinematography, all in all a very enjoyable and enlightening watch. I would highly recommend.
