Audience Member This was cute and funny. I've always liked Jeaneane Garofalo's dry, dark and sarcastic style of humour and she spends a lot of this movie (while on her cross-country trip with her dog) having an ongoing monologue mostly about stuff she hates. Kristen Holden-Reid plays the somewhat jilted boyfriend, waiting back home for her to overcome her fear of commitment and he's always nice on the eyes. This takes place in New York and across the Midwest but has an obvious Canadian feel to it and was filmed in and around Ottawa. 01.14.14 "A disgruntled music critic travels cross-country and learns about love with her inheritance -- a Jack Russell Terrier named Binky." Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I wouldn't exactly describe this as a rom-com as its not in the least bit mushy and romantic, but I guess that adds a touch of realism to proceedings. The writers have obviously tried to give this movie a kooky feel but it just makes it feel a bit disjointed and messy. I usually love Janeane Garofolo but she was a little annoying in this one. You end up feeling sorry for her long-suffering boyfriend Kris Holden-Ried and wonder why he bothers with her at all. Nicolas Wright added a much needed bit of humour as Ethan. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member it was cute and funny Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Ok to watch on a rainy day, ok acting but the story felt kind of hollow.. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I relate far too much to this movie to hate it. Pure mood-lifting popcorn. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I can relate to this character in a lot of ways, loved this movie! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
