Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Nadav Kn A rather standard romantic comedy, filled with clichés (like the sassy BFF, which is again played by Natasha Leon, just like the character she played in American Pie) and the usual cynical, fast and supposedly witty dialogue (no one actually speaks like that, not even in NY). However, Allison Brie has a gorgeous body and is often seen wearing sexy revealing outfits, which is great.
ekeby I'm a little surprised at all the negative reviews here. It's hard to imagine what the reviewers found missing. Romance? Comedy? Or both? Because I found plenty of each. I will say that I can see how you need to be able to relate to the lifestyles depicted to appreciate the film. Because if you can't, this might as well be about life on Mars.This is a smart movie. And the concept is pretty original, considering the difficulty of deviating from the restrictions of the genre. The leads are immensely likable and each able to toss off complex comedic riffs with ease. And I very much enjoyed seeing Adam Scott play the heavy. Not easy to portray a dull-as-donuts bad guy, but he pulled it off.Despite the "truthiness" of the dialog, the movie does share one thing with all romantic comedies: it's a wet dream for the love hungry. Especially for those folks who juggle and struggle with the reality of modern relationships. The lead characters wear a veneer of cynical sophistication that many of us use as protective shields. But, as is expected from a rom-com, the veneer cracks. And we're glad when it does.I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, but be warned: it is a movie for grown ups.
yossarian100 Great cast, wonderful chemistry, and downright touching performances help this wonderful screenplay achieve a home run. Plus, the director needs to take a bow. This was a great effort.The story had me in the first five minutes, but it did not go where I thought it was going, What a delightful surprise that was.The chemistry between the two leads could not have been better, and I ended up caring deeply about them.Lots of snappy dialog, which is where most of the laughs came from. I had the best time watching this one, and I was sad when it was over. This is definitely a "Must See" movie. To me, it was perfect.
Matt_Layden A generic rom-com in which the focus is on how the two leads should not have sex with each other, but instead help each other with their own relationship problems. This becomes difficult when they discover they've fallen for each other, but cannot let that secret out.Both Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie are funny people, they both get a few laughs here with some pretty humourless material. They play their characters are broken pieces of sex crazed objects. He can't have a steady relationship because he just sleeps around, she can't have one because she is obsessed with an ex boyfriend who is married. Both of them are the last people you'd want as role models but they manage to be role models for each other in their own unique and twisted ways. With the film being about lots of sex, Brie has the troublesome task of being the sex symbol of the film. She has some moments to show off that side (lingerie fashion show) but the film just feels unsexy at times. It's a little off putting because the sex comedy is second to the emotional drama. Neither really prove to be THAT effective, but simply serviceable to the material. The film is plain, ordinary and not much else. I doubt I will remember anything about this film a few days from now, other than Brie in the aforementioned lingerie. Unless you're a fan of these two, I'd say this is a film you can totally skip. It's neither good, nor bad. It's the weird line down the middle.
