Redundant and unnecessary.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I watched this movie last evening and thought it was great. It reminds me a lot of the 80's romantic comedy "About Last Night." Ron Livingston is great as usual. I loved the story, the characters - EVERYTHING! Great job folks on making a movie that I could enjoy without drowning in tears or laughing to the point of vomiting. It was a great balance!

This movie was very much about character development, and people growing through situations that could easily occur. Even the narrator played by Bray Poor (the Asshole') grew from being a non-caring jerk to being someone with feelings who took some honorable actions. Ron Livingston, the lead, did a fine job of making the guy believable without using any of the over-the-top cliched actions or situations some many other movies might use. He made you care about him and his plight without being a total dork. Amanda Peet was, as usual, just hot as hell but it was Cara Buono who stole the screen. Okay, I admit it, she's a girl I could see myself falling for madly just as ... (oops, don't want to spoil the movie for the rest of you who haven't seen it.) All in all, a really great romantic movie. Definitely in my top 100.

There's precious little romance to be found in this romantic comedy which tells of a slump shouldered, self pitying, self deprecating wuss who dates two women both named Nina. How's that for creative? "Two Ninas" is an okay watch and a decent shoot with enough relationship issues to maintain interest all the way to it's fizzling conclusion. However, the film trades charm and heart for hip and cool as it presents its characters as one dimensional, self-centered, hard edged stereotypes. Recommended for anyone into the adult singles dating scene.

This movie is outstanding because it captures real life romance and dating experience that we can all relate to, and it does so in such a humorous way! The suspense keeps you at the edge of your seet, the acting is excellent, and Amanda Peet is hot!
