This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Michelle Ridley
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The basis of the film is off of two protagonist a writer and an actor, female and male respectively. However to call the actor a protagonist may be an exaggeration as the narrative is driven heavily forward by the female/writer leaving the actor to some what like just a supportive medium. The begining is slow and the narrative is lackful yet purposefully or accidentally the viewer is still engaged with the melodramatics of the newly wed couple. The acting is not a masterclass but is complimentary to the film itself and provides an almost intermediate vibe about the film.The narrative and development is somewhat underwhelming with many key focus points simply being brushed over with lack of attention, scenes which seemed focused on do little to leave an impact as the next scene rushes in. Overall the film is nothing spectacular and could be described as nothing more than underwhelming, however the potential for it to be an innovation in the romance/drama genre is ever present. A greater focus on key scenes and further character development of everybody apart from the female lead would of likely benefited this film paramount.

I am not sure I am the only one who don't know the end after watching the whole movie. I got the message what they want to give through the movie and get the same feeling if I were in the actress place. But I am not sure how to end the movie because there are a lot of what left in my mind after the movie such as How do the movie end ? What was the message that the director want to give in final scene ????

This is a film that wants you to take a deep breath, that wants you to get context before you take the plunge into its depths, which though admirable, hasn't been executed to its fullest potential, and yet it has a heart. The actors do their job, and at some point you get past their insane hotness, which is complimentary, of course. The story revolves around an impulsive (maybe slightly drunk?) wedding and its implications for a very young couple, who haven't yet rooted themselves in terms of what they want from life. The film gets into the rut of a possibly accurate on an average, but an over used male stereotype, that of a lazy ass, porn-watching, XBOX playing deadbeat young husband, but the catch here is, he's insanely attractive and kinda sweet, which helps. The glossy young couple were maybe meant to begin that way, maybe we were supposed to look through the eyes of an outsider, to whom everything would look glossy, but impractical. An unlikely, but possible theory. But anyway, the movie doesn't remain template driven for very long and soon gets it's own if not full bodied, at least a decent upper half. Any movie that makes me uncomfortable, puts me in a different frame of mind than what I walked in with, is worthy of watching, so go ahead, it's a decent attempt at the fallacy of impulsive decisions leading to happy endings, but with a hot cast.

Young newlyweds encounter a series of challenges during the first year of their marriage. I do admire the story that this film tries to send about the every day struggles of young couples and how easily they can be seduced unfortunately 'Paper Year' did not transfered that good on screen. The actors do an alright job with the script that was handed to them but they could have done better i'm sure of that plus fans of Andie MacDowell will definitely be disappointed since her screen time is limited in about 4 to 5 minutes which i found it to be very disappointing considering the fact of how good of an actress she is. Overall a really disappointing romance drama about love and cheating. (4/10)
