The two leads are magnetic, but there's no chemistry between them.
Geraldine Viswanathan needed to be dialed down. She rolls her big eyes a lot, and is constantly doing little victory dances with her arms in the air.
Aussie/NZ hunk Dacre Montgomery is matinee-idol dreamy, down to the mustache, goatee and wavy thick dark hair.
The two of them are in different modes: he evokes a smooth, accessible mood; she pulls rubber chickens out of her bra. I'm sure they'd both be fabulous with a better co-star.
A trio of girlfriends could have been trend-setting, except that instead of creating a new mix of individuals, they excude "three mouthy girls" from almost any romantic comedy. What a missed opportunity.
What bothered me most were odd details, such as collecting abandoned velvet-upholstered furniture from the sidewalk. If something like that is curbside, it's probably bedbug infested.
Then there's the vast gallery space. I did a google: Retail space in the Big Apple goes for $75-$2000/square foot, and business build-outs happen in a hurry, because TIME = MONEY.
I just couldn't buy it.
My ultimate measure is whether I'd see it again. Nope.
