Iamwhoi M I don't hate the movie like a lot of people do. For me, it's a little bit of a different kind of film, being a comedy that's not dark, but still centered around suicide. I found it to be fine, helped by a great cast; and, in the end, everything was fine.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Rachel O I'm Jesse, the pretty blonde whose a little bit loud, crazy, and blunt.....and will never be good enough for the dude she loves. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Alice B This movie proves that having big names doesn't translate to a great film. Even with the ineffable talents of Toni Collette, Sam Neill, Rosamund Pike and Pierce Brosnan, the plot feels contrived and jerky. There are some moments that genuinely teeter on the edge of meaning and begin to explore the characters feelings beyond surface level, and I wanted to lean through the screen and give them a good shove over that edge (no pun intended). Unfortunately those moments are very few and far between, and what fills the gaps is a whole lot of trivialising mental ill health, unrealistically portrayals of suicidal people and problems being magically solved and tied up in a neat bow. I am not even going to discuss the fact that we are supposed to feel sympathy for a 50 year old man who has been to prison for sleeping with a 15 year old. The only character that is really intriguing (until the final scene) is JJ, played by Aaron Paul. His problems aren't easily summed up or solved and his character felt more complicated and ultimately more real than any other. This was helped along by some excellent acting on Paul's part. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review meredith w It wasn't the best Nick Hornby novel and the film translates this. Its story has potential as on New Year's Eve in London, four strangers find themselves on the roof of a building known for suicides. However, it is a pretty clichéd exploration and predictable ending, despite its star cast, which includes Pierce Bronson, Toni Collette and Aaron Paul.
