A cynic's view on romance
It is the absolute opposite of every adjective you'd use to describe a romance movie. This has no magical moments or an amazing scene when the two characters meet or fall in love. I generally think Keanu Reeves doesn't do much acting, his character is usually the same in every movie, but in this it was perfect casting. Winona Ryder as well. Him being him, Winona being Winona, it felt very genuine, none of the conversation seemed forced, it's like you're a fly on the wall following two strangers through a weekend.
It's anticlimactic but somehow keeps you interested all throughout with the dialogue, sarcasm and the lead characters who find each other despicable. And that brings out several funny scenes as well.
I'm surprised the rating isn't higher but then again it isn't a movie for everyone, it's very "anti-romantic" and only two characters speak throughout the entirety of the film which some people don't enjoy or appreciate. But this is a special movie. Reminds me of Before We Go and the Before trilogy, just bile and rancor instead.

Watched three times...
This movie is painful on purpose. When you realise who and what you are dealing with, it's fun. A movie that wasn't given much chance to succeed in the theater...Keanu and Wynona are great together.
Cynically quirky
Definitely not your average rom com, full of cynicism, sarcasm, and dry humor. Ryder and Reeves make the perfect pair, there rapid fire responses make for hilarious banter. Storyline goes a little slow sometimes, and the same conversations are repeated throughout, but you can't help but relate. The hideous imposition of someone else's wedding and the certain joy of finding someone as cynical as you.
if you're rating it 6 or below you missed the point... But we all have opinions
I found this movie randomly last night and decided to watch it today and what I found was unexpectedly a gem.. The writing is ridiculously crafty and just off the wall in your face but that's not exactly a bad thing.. it's an hour and twenty six minutes of bickering but it's hilarious and 71.638146% honest and a nice change for Reeves to do instead of constantly shooting people in the face and neck! It's an 8/10 for me and I'll start watching out for this writer/director
Funny and charming
I laughed almost from start to finish. Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are adorable together as two ridiculous people in a ridiculous situation. Anyone who likes dry humor and flawed, broken characters will love this movie.
Did you know
- TriviaWhile promoting this film, Winona Ryder claimed that she and Keanu Reeves might actually have been married to each other in real life when they filmed the marriage scene in Dracula (1992), because a real Romanian Orthodox priest was used. Francis Ford Coppola, who directed that film, agreed that this could be true.
- GoofsAround the 1:20:21 mark, when the two are debating in bed, Frank finishes his glass of wine. A minute later this glass is filled again in a wide shot as Frank reaches for it and takes a sip.
