While the film will never make any big waves, it at least runs the course of it's 85 minutes with a simple ease that the viewer can get caught up in if they are willing to let themselves go and just enjoy the cast and the situation they have been put into. Sure, none of it is original, none of it is mind-blowing; but then none of it needs to be either. The characters are perfectly acted, and whether you like the characters or not, they really stand out as two people in a situation trying to tough it out.
Thankfully the plot doesn't hang in the apartment for the entire film across the two days, and does well to break the beginning up with a shortish set-up flashback and then quickly moves along into a thoughtful display of two people just trying to get along but ending up on the wrong side of each other until they finally work it all out. Credit goes to the director and the editor for not dragging the ending out as well when they leave the apartment. What could have fallen into cheesy romance finishes with all the right feelings intact and not overdone, leaving a sense of realism while still clearly being a product of a movie.
It's good stuff, maybe aimed at a 20s to late 30s audience, but other than that, well acted, plausible though unlikely, and quite charming in both its humour and honesty.
