Powerful
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
To be honest, this movie sucks dong. But if you like really overly cheesy, poorly written, fast paced slop dongs, then you might enjoy this. I love Schwaz!
I had just watched Woody Allen's Wonder Wheel a day earlier (another romance film) and I have to say this movie was so much better than that. The chemistry between couple was superb (unlike the other film where they had none). The acting from Noel Wells (1st time seen her in something) and Ben Schwartz (he was the reason I watched the film, I really liked him in other shows I have seen him in) was very good. They worked together well. Bounced off one another. Looked and felt like a real couple. The friendship between Ben Schwartz and Rahul Kohli was high quality too. I wasn't expecting much from this film. I was hoping for passable and wasn't even truly expecting that. So to get a film that was watchable and enjoyable was a nice surprise.I liked the characters. I liked their chemistry together. I liked the dialogue in the movie. The pacing was good. Kept it short and that worked well. I liked how the movie told the story of the couple's 3rd anniversary but also included flashbacks to give you an idea of what their relationship was like (the good and the bad) to let you the viewer understand how they arrived at this point. And how hard it was for them to figure out whether this relationship was simply good or marriage worthy. A pleasant surprise. Worth a viewing.
Explores the usual tropes of "are you the one" and "the baby clock is ticking" but the cast is charming and there are some humorous and interesting plot devices that keep things moving along. I liked it.
I'd say they are realistic, but they are very plain, boring and sad couple to watch. Both of the characters were colorless and not charming. Reminded me of people I knew who bothered me a lot just being there. This movie talks too much. I couldn't even finish watching. felt like a date with a negative boss.
