Yes, there are cheesy parts but I did find myself laughing quite a few times. There are serious parts, too. I liked how this movie portrayed friendship and family. There were quite a few good messages throughout the movie about relationships, self observation, and grief. I think it's a great movie for women and young women to watch. Or even couples.
I like to watch lesser known or low budget movies and review them because for the ones that are good and worth watching, I want the writers to know they did a good job and to keep going. It wasn't perfect, but I was entertained the whole way. And I left feeling a more introspective. So, great job :)
Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.
This is a good, if somewhat standard, "boy next door" trope mixed with a "control freak" and " eating disorder" cliches.
Fiona Gubelmann pretty much carries the movie, but she's good enough to watch it just for her. Sadly, I think this plays a factor as a lot of the movie is just her not accepting the availability of the guy she loves.
Sure, it's a chick flick, but the way the break down and dissect the scenarios through the scenes is pretty good.
It was an uplifting watch that I could really use at the time.

Quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. So many parts that made no sense. So many extra characters around that they tried to make larger than life. Was this is comedy? Was this a drama? I'm still not sure. Only got a 2nd star because I did watch til the end because I wanted to send how they ended up...
I can't believe how a film can have such great actors but such a horrible message and script.
WHY has no one mentioned this yet?
Why were the people who supposedly loved her \ ones she trusted letting her go through emotional and physical trauma!!!
What type of message is this supposed to send!
Horrible film . Horrible message! It only gets 1 star because in the last 5 minutes girl gets some comon sense.
But she needed help and her friends and family did **** all to help her. Only one friend breifly mentions how toxic the guy is BUT ends up pushing them back together and participating at the "surprise" ???? NO.
This is wrong on so many levels.
Trigger warning for anyone who has ever been in an emotionally abusive relationship.

It took awhile to get going, but once it did my wife & I enjoyed it. There were some serious personal issues the main character had to deal with and there was some truth in how it was handled. It had a good mix of ups, downs and laughs as well. I felt that the film turned the corner with the introduction of the therapist character. She played a great part, bringing both levity and some serious introspection advice. As the main character starts out somewhat ok, then does a serious crash and burn, but at the end finds her true self and heals old and new wounds, and emerges as her own woman, strong enough to rise above the hardships that have held her back since her childhood. Throw in a nice slow percolating romance and a happy ending for good measure. I recommend it for you romcom fans, but you've got to hang in there for a bit until it gets up some steam. I think the cast, writers and production staff deserve to be proud of a nice indy film. Thanks for a good date night.

For a chick flick it could have been much better with some minor changes, but the last scenes ruin the movie. For one, you can easily guess the outcome 30 minutes in. With some minor rewriting, they could've made this pretty cute.

This is a terrible movie. I only watched it because Nicole Sullivan was listed first and after seeing her play quirky sidekicks in Scrubs and Cougartown, I thought it would be interesting to see her ina leading role. But she's not the lead and the movie otherwise makes no sense. And the ending is absurd.
Not sure why it's NR- not rated, but it Should be PG-13. There is a lot of talk about sex and making of a clay penis. There's one scene where it's obvious that they slept together. There are several uses of bad language: S word B word A word. I'm not sure why this rating system requires a certain amount of characters/words so I'll just fill it up now with my opinion. I have liked the blonde lead actress and other things so I was very disappointed to see her in this sketchy and inappropriate movie. I don't know why they feel the need to use bad language and sexual innuendos and conversations. It certainly couldn't have made the movie worse by leaving those out.

I've seen a lot of bad movies in my time, but this one has got to be one of the worst. Doesn't develop characters or relationships, plot is disjointed and painfully awkward. I can't recommend this movie to anyone.

This film has to be the worst film I have ever ever seen. It goes of into so many story lines and characters.

You know how they say if you're writing a story, you need a beginning, a middle & an ending... well this has that at least... it doesn't have much binding them together though. Predictable as could be, but in a "what made you decide that?" way. The characters got where they needed to be but with no light bulb, epiphany moments. No one stood out as an exceptional character, not even the witty sidekick (I'm not even sure who that was meant to be) & not one storyline was evolved or felt complete, other than the obvious ending. It's like the writer couldn't pick one avenue so took them all, it was a messy viewing with no investment/connection to the characters at all.
