Great cast, but just not even remotely funny. Painful to watch.

De temps en temps, certains acteurs comiques américains s'offrent un petit vanity project. A Case of You est un film écrit par Keir O'Donnell et Justin Long qui s'offrent les premiers rôles de cette comédie romantique bien résumée par le personnage de Vince Vaughn en fin de film. Sous prétexte de mal-être, le personnage de Justin Long est un stalker à tendance psycopathe et parvient à atteindre Evan Rachel Wood grâce à ses talents tendancieux. Et tout ceci sans aucun discours sur la dangerosité de sa "tactique de drague". Evidemment, vous l'aurez compris, A Case of You est un film puant, une de ces idées qui auraient dû être proposées à d'autres gens afin qu'on puisse dire aux créateurs qu'ils allaient dans un sens qu'il ne fallait pas. Pour ajouter à la peine, c'est visuellement faiblard, trop long d'au moins 20 minutes et surtout d'une vacuité sans nom. A Case of You est ce qu'on fait de pire dans ce qui est l'indie romcom.

Romantic comedy or psychological drama; this one tries to be both and ends up as a convoluted mess. Wood is likable as a free spirited girl, Long is just creepy. He's a neurotic stalker and she likes that he's a neurotic stalker. You'd think he'd require hours of intense therapy but he's ultimately cured by a conversation between his agent and a publicist. Apparently calling himself a donkey (jacka__) is supposed to redeem him to the audience.

Silly Rom Com about Justin Long gathering information on Facebook about Evan Rachel Wood and using it to woo her, then deciding to come clean and discovers she knew about it in the first place. A lot of star cameo's in the movie that were more interesting than the Long/Wood love connection. Not sure Evan Rachel Wood is Rom Com material really. She is very tall, slender and looks slightly unhinged . She is better at playing troubled characters. Her character just seemed a little fake in this. Over the top. Just wonder why Justin Long didn't come out and ask her to date at beginning at the coffee shop. The we wouldn't have had a movie though. That's why its unrealistic. Would have saved a lot of time

On paper the story might work but in the film it does not. He fakes it until he makes it? That's not making sense. It's a recipe for disaster, likely to end in murder-suicide. Also, not credibly acted, and the is girl much too consistently nice to be real. Fake!

The actors are on their game, with Long digging deeper than he's usually asked to, and Wood showing more restraint than she often does.

Rated: 3/5

A Case Of You's characters and plot points will be familiar to anyone who's seen a movie in which a neurotic urbanite pines for a beautiful girl.

"A Case of You" is perfectly enjoyable as far as indie rom coms go - just not particularly original.

With all the obvious flaws, A Case of You is still very entertaining and enjoyable.

A Case of You can't exactly achieve its romantic ambitions, yet it's still an easy watch.

Movie Mezzanine

If the movie managed to inspire even an iota of investment in whether or not Sam and Birdie (ugh) would end up together, I'd call it a perfectly adequate date night rental. But it's too insubstantial for that.
