This film is nowhere near great, but I had a good time with it. Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis carry this film with their chemistry, up until the end at least, and that's where I have my problems with the film, that and some of the plot conveniences along the way. This film is kind of confusing on what it wants to be, it's definitely not a sci-fi film, it's barely a monster movie, it's not a romance, and it's not a comedy. The best way I can describe this is a fantasy set on our Earth with the monster being the only fantastical element with a random supernatural event that occurs between our leads. The film tries its best to explain why this phenomenon in the film happens, but it's very bleak. Two character relationships go from one thing to another in a matter of minutes, it happened so quickly I was worried I missed a part of the film. Once it goes that direction, the film becomes very predictable and cliched. Luckily the first half is solid, creative, and inventive with its premise. The music is really well done, it helps create an atmosphere, and the supporting cast with Tim Blake Nelson, and Austin Stowell are great. I always enjoy seeing Nelson in anything even if the film is not good. This one is a good movie with some obvious, and gaping flaws that keeps it from reaching a higher level. The film is short, so if you are looking for something casual to watch, with some entertaining moments enough to satisfy a two hour sit-through, this is worth the time. As for me I had a good time with it.
