It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Ultimately disappointing treatment of celebrity trying to come out as gay to family and public. It gets so lost along the way but manages to treat some issues like the obligations of friendship and the pain of relationship endings. But it does present a loving lesbian couple as a positive and even Cory is ultimately a realistic portrayal of a douchebag. And it has a LOT to say about LA! Dustin Mulligan and Emily Mead do great jobs playing their unlikeable characters. But unfortunately the issue of a gay actor coming out gets quietly lost amongst it all. (Stay until end credits finish though!)

Max Landis' work as a screenwriter, YouTuber and pop culture figure/personality has been very divisive. He often finds himself under scrutiny as "obnoxious" or "intolerable". I never really got these. Maybe I'm both of those things, but someone having a different opinion than you and maybe a flamboyant way of putting that across should never be dismissed. Maybe I was predisposed to enjoy the heck out of this film. It deals well with a man discovering he's gay, a woman discovering she's bisexual, and a guy admitting he's depressed and unsatisfied. "Him", "Her", and "Me" - the "me" being a stand-in for Landis himself, presumably. The humour, the subject matter and the way it's dealt with, all come together well. The way it's shot comes across cheap, but with cinematic-enough lighting that you can look past that pretty quickly. I don't see what makes it "bad". It's just not going to have much of a lasting impact on me or the world. It's a good enough first feature. Didn't have to be a Whiplash or 10 Cloverfield Lane- type directorial debut. Too harshly judged.

Max Landis clearly had an idea that is presented well at some moments but completely missed at others. While it's far from bad, it's also just as far from good. The performances are spot on, Haley Osment feels like Michael Cera in 'This Is The End'. The general plot does give a borderline 'Chasing Amy' feel, but Max does manage to bring a much more surreal and intimate take on it. As I said, this works well in some scenes more than others. Not a perfect film, but exactly what I was expecting from such a creative and surreal writer. The indie atmosphere is certainly an acquired taste, but if you have a certain appreciation for the film industry, then you won't feel like you're wasting time watching this film.

In the film you are warned beforehand that in LA the line between dreams and reality is thinner, but once you take the quirkiness away, the script is a classic boy meets girl. I love Max Landis and I think he is a brilliant writer, but this movie didn't feel quite right.I was laughing (which is grand in itself), but I predicted every joke before it happened. I wasn't surprised by the weirdness, therefore it felt superfluous.Without actually disliking the film - I had quite a bit of fun - I can't call it a success either. The sense of being off is quite strong. The actors did great, as well. Perhaps it was all too quirky without needing to. I don't know. I really think Landis can do a lot better.
