Sadly Over-hyped

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This movie is horrendous. It is terrible from the word go but at the point you still have hope that there may be some meaning or point to it all, there is not, the story is completely unwatchable and un-relatable and utterly absurd. The characters are flat and make no sense what so ever, you spend the whole movie internally screaming at the person who wrote such stupid characters???? And it does not reach a point; there is no meaning behind all this, utter waste of time. Avoid if possible. This started as a book, someone thought it was a good enough story to write as a screen play, that screen play got funding!!! someone thought this was good enough to fund, there where many stages that this movie could have been aborted (unlike the baby in this flop) and saved us all a lot of time. I could write a more in-depth review but it is honestly not worth the time.

This feel good romantic dramedy about "crazy love" is perfect for our time, a time when we all need to lighten up, a time when we all need to be living in the present. Yes, I mean "we all" literally. Amanda Crew is brilliant as Bette, a courageous carefree young lady who attempts the impossible feat of fixing an entire damaged family by having the guts to just be herself and encouraging them to be themselves. You won't regret watching this movie. You will see yourself or a relative or a friend in this movie, and you will be inspired. The one who does not like this movie is the one who is afraid to live in the now, who is afraid to experience love (internally and externally), who is afraid of life. If you are that person, I urge you to watch the film again, and again, and then again.Don't let this one get away!!

A simple, charming film that deals with psychological and societal issues close to home that continue to plague families and their members. It stays at the surface of these issues-- divorce, young love, depression, fear of intimacy--and chooses to frame the drama in comic lines, which was an inspired perspective. The actors are superb, each playing his or her role in an authentic manner and letting the lines and the situations generate the laughs, smiles, and grins. The film belongs to the two young lead actors and their chemistry is delightful. The older brother's character grows on you, initially not in step with the other cast mates, but he finds his footing early enough in the film. The theme and plot are predictable enough, but there's not that much new in terms of story lines. The manner in which theme and plot were packaged produced a small but elegant jewel of a film that is enjoyable and emotionally satisfying.

This movie is a bit slow but has that great kind of ending that just makes you smile for the rest of the day! The characters are all a tad quirky, somehow the family members all seem to have some type of mental issue one way or another - it definitely reminds me of the majority of families I know. Henry is a brat, his mother is morbidly depressed, his father is a jerk, his brother is a nerd, his pot dealer turned boss is certainly in the right place at the right time and Henrys girlfriend is a free spirit who helps bring them all together. I think the casting person hit the nail on the head with this one. I may be biased , i love a good chick flick! Love, loss of love and the light at the end of the tunnel! Good times!
