I noticed this movie scheduled on TV in a time slot that, shall we say, is not where you find blockbusters and Oscar winners. I was intrigued by the widely disparate opinions here on IMDB, so I gave it a watch. Outwardly, it's very much like 500 Days of Summer, from a decade before, in that it jumps from milestone to milestone, and into fantasy, as the protagonist sincerely tries to make his love life work. It is full of cute touches and situations that make it look like the kind of movie Hollywood markets to couples, but I'm glad that I saw it alone because it digs a little too deep into the issue of human nature, raising questions that I think most couples like to leave unasked for the sake of smooth sailing. Maybe that unsettling aspect is why the film didn't exactly catch fire at the box office. I think it's a creditable job of work, though.
