COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Funny submitted by richardsm on July 26, 2013, 2:18pm I expected very little from this but was actually quite entertained. The script was quite witty!

Great Humor, Great Characters

Content Warning: This film includes a transphobic joke and one use of the r-word.
This is a smart romantic comedy that takes a slightly different, though still predictable, approach to the genre and it succeeds because of the incredible chemistry between costars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The script is full of snappy one-liners and dry sarcasm and takes a somewhat satirical approach to the romantic comedy that still respects its tropes and its power; as a romcom veteran I felt like the film was laughing along with, rather than at, me. The third act runs a little long, sapping the emotional climax of some of its power, but the general structure is nice and fits within expectations while offering genuinely interesting characters. A quick word of warning: much of the plotline revolves around the couple’s raunchy hookups, though I felt like they generally added to the humor without becoming too prurient (it’s occasionally a close call). Overall, this is a solid film with a surprisingly tender heart that breathes new life into a very familiar genre.
