Turned this movie on as background noise. Completely forgot what my task was. Its a perfect depiction of how nasty and awful love can be.

I can see where they were trying to go with this film but it was done super slow and I found that I was forcing myself to watch it. While they captured the outer surface of the relationship of the 20 something year old, they missed the inner workings of a trite relationship. I'm out of my twenties but not long enough to remember how it felt and the writer missed everything. Sad as it could have been a terrific film.

I think this movie accurately portrays what it's like to be in a relationship as a millenial. I think the movie is cute and I love the setting of los angels and Malibu as well. The acting wasn't the best for me and the story doesn't have a super big plot which is why I gave it an 8 not a 10. To me it felt like the movie was almost like a friends episode turned into a movie. It was like me hanging out with my friends talking about relationship problems but with a cool setting and a good soundtrack and they get to have a lot of fun in the movie. Is it worth your time? You'll have to decide that for yourself.

I liked it in a "too close to home" or "I wanna cry" or "I've also been in a series of ducked (sic) relationships" kind of way. Very self deprecating. Very cathartic. Much heartbreak. Includes drugs, sex, heartache, cheating, growing up.. I liked it, but it's far from a comedy like they play it. It's an edgy heartache that people go through and you feel it when you watch it.

Everyone has an opinion or else life would be boring. This film was anything but slow to me, by the end I was actually quite sad I just wanted to keep watching more and see what happens. And yes, Michael Angarano is so full of charisma, his cheeky charm certainly kept me hooked!

The story line would be a bit confusing for a bunch of people, why are the couple hooking up and breaking up and yet again hooking up, also while they're seeing other people, the story isn't too good and the ending is way weak! If you're outta all movies, go for it!

Not everyone has had the same experience in love or life. So i understand some of the bad reviews, but is a really good movie, a very real one. I had a relationship like that so i felt everything i was seeing. The movie had me thinking of my past relationship. I was seeing myself and my ex in this film. They did a good job and the people that think otherwise simple dind't have an experience like that. Everybody that has will feel this movie. Emma Roberts and Michael Angarano did a good job.

There is a minor appreciation for this movie trying to present realistic relationship situations for people in their twenties right now. However it is an example of some of the worst aspects of modern thinking in relationships right now where no one can be right and you should just do whatever. This is a counter to the delusional thinking of a perfect person or 'the one', but equally just as bad are those couples who stay together 'just because'. This is covered somewhat on the secondary characters side of things but it doesn't exactly leave a satisfying ending and switching the resolutions of both couples probably would have made for a more pleasing movie while also providing similar examples. In the end this is a movie about unlikeable people with plain dialogue, muted acting and an unsatisfying ending. Maybe that is the point because it is just like life, but I already know what life is like, a movie should probably be aiming for more.
