Well-acted, mature love story has language, sex scenes.

This was very difficult to watch. It was that BEN character - SO cringe! I couldn't shake the SERIAL KILLER vibes I was getting from him. Every scene he's just walkin' around like a zombie, looking like he saw a ghost, no facial expressions, and dead behind the eyes…then when he opened up the door with the credit card?? I thought for sure he was going to come unhinged and have a total meltdown and murder the whole family at the end of the film!

Christina Ricci was both amazing and embarrassing in that movie.

Surprisingly unpleasant and extremely boring

Unlike the ratings here, I actually thought it was a pretty good movie. It got to the essence of the 'eternal' batchelor and didn't end with a 'kitch'. I liked it

Man, this movie is depressing, and while it touches on conflict, it never goes above superficial conflict. You don't see the main characters deal with their relationships/friendships/exes authentically. I really wanted to like the leading man, but he was awful. And then end was rushed and contrite.

I am really confused on how to rate this movie. This was clearly a disaster relationship from the start. It ended exactly as it appeared it would end. Maybe that was the plan of the writer. I just don't know. So, I am giving it the benefit of the doubt because of that. The acting was good. The chemistry between the two characters was non-existent. And maybe that was on purpose. A strange little entry of a movie.
