The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I'm not usually a fan of romantic comedies as they tend to be clichéd, cheesy, and generally speaking, mindless. But this movie is none of that! I found it to be original and entertaining, and even thought provoking. And if you happen to a single person trying to understand why romantic relationships are so challenging, I think you will find the film to be educational in an amusing "laugh at ourselves" kind of way. That's all I can say without giving too much away! Brilliant writing and direction, great acting, and being from Los Angeles, I loved how the city was represented. I am very much looking forward to seeing Nathan Ives future films!

It's rare that you see an independent film that's very well produced AND very entertaining! Nathan Ives manages to put together a very unique perspective on a story about relationships, breakups, and coming-of-age. His cast are consistently top-notch, and keep you engaged in the narrative that we've all been through at one point or another. Nathan uses interesting conventions to communicate his protagonist's internal struggles, and doesn't shy away from taking these conventions to their furthest (and most honest) logical extent! This film effectively adds to the genre that is the romantic comedy, and avoids falling into easy conventions.

This movie was so refreshing and true to real life. Director, Nathan Ives, did an excellent job with this film. All of the cast were wonderful. This movie covers relationships issues that many other movies do not portray accurately. This one hit in on the spot. The dating scene is such a challenge, so it is so nice to have a movie that looks at these challenges in a humorous and also serious way. The voices in the boyfriend's head are great and very true. We all have these voices that try to sway us different ways, and I have never seen a movie that depicts them this well. I give it and A+ and am going to have my boyfriend watch it!

Filmed with the Red camera, this movie provides gorgeous shots of Los Angeles as the story unfolds. A great cast makes it work, since much of the movie is made up of internal dialog. But work it does. The annoying main character becomes heart-warming by the end, and I rooted for him to complete his transformation. You will too.This low-budget movie should make you realize that Hollywood movies no longer have a monopoly on the film industry. I think in the years ahead, you'll see more independent films like this one, with name actors, professionally made, beautifully shot, and artistically realized. At least I hope so. I will throw up if I have to sit through one more Will Farrell or Adam Sandler "comedy." Thank you, Nathan Ives, for raising the bar for all indie movies. If you like romantic comedies, find this film and watch it for yourself. You'll be delighted.
