Amusing with wit good relationship tips

One of my favorite indie, quirky, romantic comedies!

***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.***

The charming lead actors almost manage to make an insipid screenplay palatable. Still, there's enough rough edges in this indie romantic comedy to make it better than most -- which isn't saying much.

Cute film. Probably Valerie Breiman's best work. Famke Janssen did a good job and Favreau was very good impersonating writer/director Adam Rifkin, whom his character was based on.

Really good, and sadly on point.

A really cute indie film. Good for anyone who has had relationship problems.

This movie has not aged well, but it is a sweet love story and at least worth one watch.

Its not great but it didn't bug me and it wasn't painful to watch.

This is a sweet and funny movie that reflects the reality of relationships. Jon Favreau is particularly charming in this movie. Romantic comedy fans will enjoy this perspective on the genre.

Amazing life quotes.!!

A play-by-play of every typical relationship... if it has any soul to it. Loved the indy quality.

A likeable romantic comedy, without the cheesy crap, just a witty script and simple observations on characters. Well written and for once a film that was too short. High notes - Script

This movie's great. I think it may be because Famke's in it, but regardless, the story is pretty good.

this movies defines me as well...

charming interplay between main characters.

"Love is Ecstasy and agony, freedom and imprisonment, belonging and loneliness. It's what keeps us together when life tears us apart. So when you find that perfect man, hold on tight and then call me so I can run over there and see what he looks like and laugh because he doesn't exist you sad, perky little optimistic Suckers!!!!" Kate (Famke Janssen)is a jaded young woman who has trouble meeting and dating guys. Throughout the movie, you get to meet several of her loser boyfriends and are subjected to Kate's cynical negative outlook on love and relationships. She says, early in the film, that she's better at giving oral sex than at understanding a loving relationship; if this is the extent of her knowledge of men, no wonder she has problems lol! Favreau plays artist Adam Levy who meets Kate at one of his art exhibits. Soon thereafter, they begin dating and enjoy frequent sex. At first, their relationship is nothing but great and passionate. But as time passes the passion naturally fades and, eventually, Adam decides to call it quits with Kate. Overall, the movie is filled with witty dialogue, humor and honesty and takes you on a bumpy up close ride at love, heartache and the wonderful and sometimes painful art of making/breaking up.

Ah movies. Can watch it once and not be impressed, then watch it after you've had this experience or that and it has a whole new meaning. Went ahead and bumped this two points to 8/10. Chatting with gal online and she liked it so I gave it a rewatch. Having now been in a relationship that didn't exactly end the first time, it makes sense. The writer/director very accurately captured how difficult it can be. I didn't realize that before. Other than that, I don't think it's as cliche as I did before. I guess I didn't catch the cheese sandwich thing though it's a topic on imdb so it's clearly a draw of the movie. I laughed my ass off at the de Niro impression. And Famke Janssen is not just hot, she's painfully beautiful in this flick. Old review: I don't think making a new expression can single-handedly make movie great. The whole cheese sandwich thing was cute, but the movie was just a touch too much like everything else to be considered that great. Famke Janssen is hawt. And has maybe the best name in Hollywood. I really like Favreau (see Swingers and Made...even Janssen is in that). The movie is evidently autobiographical and I respect that, but if that's true, writer/director Valeria Breiman sure has lived out a lot of average chick flicks ha ha. That's why I can't rate this movie too high. It's cute in parts, realistic in others, funny in others, but I've seen it all before. And in between all the decent parts are the stupid ones...like kissing in a video store and knocking all the VHSs off the shelves. Pretty sure that didn't happen (and pretty sure it wasn't funny). Finally, again maybe it's autobiographical, but I hate the ploy of telling the story. A writer telling the story to save her job and we relive it as she retells it? Blah. Do something original next time.

Smarter and funnier than Sex in the City. A movie about people making themselves crazy overthinking a relationship, but, for the most part, going along with it all, even when they don't know why. Jon Favreau's character is comedically self-assured in his life as an artist whose slightly disturbing paintings may or may not mean anything at all and which belie his gentle, laidback, philosophical persona, which belies the restlessness and passion lurking below the surface, which resemble something more like his paintings, but still more gentle. Famke Janssen's character is neurotically living the oversexed successful professional woman stereotype whose worrying about when she will ever meet the one she will want to spend the rest of her life with. Neither seem to know how or where to steer the relationship or what they are supposed to be expecting from each other, and so it works out. And falls apart. A few times. Until the lessons are learned and double learned and triple learned and the situation resolved.

much cuter than title
