It's a decent movie. It has a few great belly laugh moments and pretty much the expected dose of cheese and will-they-won't-they (I don't know what the word for that is. Suspense? No. Anyway...) I don't regret watching this one bit but I wouldn't have picked the cast I mean through the entire movie all I kept thinking was that Drew's character wouldn't have picked Justin Longs in a million years I mean, I don't even see Drew herself playing opposite Justin Long, he's too... small... for her somehow. it's not the height or the fame but more presence or charisma or something. He and his character both just seem too... small for her somehow. That bothered me.
Oh! and Day and Sudekis were really playing such clichés, I mean they did it well but I really don't know if that's a compliment or not. I liked Applegate's character. Totally, no complaints there.
In summary, I would've swapped Drew for Lauren Graham, or Melissa McCarthy, Ellen Page, Evangeline Lilly or Eliza Dushku or Mila Kunis! then maybe Justin Long would've made sense.
All I'm saying is it's a good movie but I think it could've been better.
Long story short, do watch it, you deserve the laughs.

I like this show because it's steeped in darkness. It would have been easy to be crass or break out the vitriol but these guys chose to be gentle instead.
Don't get me wrong, I could do with some swearing. I wish it was a little less nice and clean but this is NBC not HBO and hey, I like what they've written. I've watched every episode.
The series takes a while to gear up but every episode got slightly better for me until episode eight where all of a sudden, out of the blue comes not one but two big ol' belly laughs! Seriously, there are whole seasons of comedy shows that manage only one or none at all preferring to just make do with smaller laughs. Oh but this was hilarious! Go On Season 1 Episode 8 really did it for me.
Now as for the rest of the show I admit I could do with more grit, they seem to move from one set piece with a few minutes of set-up and then comes the punchline, rinse & repeat.
I wish there were more punchlines in the set pieces and sometimes I'd rather they started with an already hilarious visual image and then maybe got absurd or normal or poignant. Too much Big Bang Theory, not enough 'jewish comedian' I'd love to see Go On channelling Ruby Wax or hosting cameos from Marc Maron (a funny crazy with great opinions and rage issues) or Stephen Fry (who would make a great depressed professor) Laura Prepon (pretty bully) Felicia Day (great smile dammit) Mary Lynn Rajskub (as guest writer, producer or actor I don't care), and of course Maria Bamford (c'mon, that one's just obvious! She'd make a great homeless lady)
Okay so I got a little carried away and anyway they have plenty of time to jiggle their casting wands but there's My unasked-for opinion.
In summary, I've got lots of issues with this show but it gives me hope.
NB: When I wrote this I had just watched episode 8. Episode 9 made me very happy indeed.
