This movie wants to be quirky, as the same quirky soundtrack plays repeatedly throughout. Unfortunately, it is a disjointed, predictable, not-based-in-reality movie. There didn't seem to be a plot line that made you want to see what would happen next, or even truly see what the point of each scene was, as one scene led to the next without much coherence. The characters seemed contrived and shallow without much understanding as to why they made the decisions they did. Humor seemed forced, like the running gag of Charlie calling his roommate Bruce for a ride on numerous occasions, only to see Charlie waiting for a bus in the very next scene. Long before the end of the movie, I already knew what was going to happen, but frankly didn't care.

An excellent debut film from writer/director Cat Rhinehart Smith, who turns the rom-com genre on its head. A hilarious cast and great score round things out.

Love that this isn't your typical rom-com, we don't know that the characters will necessarily end up "happily ever after", which I find very refreshing. Cute story, great cast.

Really fun movie with a super charming cast. Laughable jokes constantly peppered in through the movie. Just a good time. Definitely recommend.

Loved this movie. It was super funny, cute and not your typical rom com. The soundtrack was also kickass!

This movie is the best film of 2018 so far. It is super funny, touching and too real at times. It's great to see Arturo Castro and Aya Cash play different characters than what I'm used to seeing and killing it. Cat Rhinehart did a great job writing and directing this great film. I'm looking forward to more from her.

While Brand New Old Love is ostensibly a romantic comedy about two friends who fulfill their high-school pledge to marry each other by age thirty, it's also an honest, unglamorous exploration of what it means to be an adult in the 2010s.

Brand New Old Love desperately needed a jolt of energy to get it passed the recommendation mark. Unfortunately, that jolt never came.
