Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times My Last Five Girlfriends is a stab at an anti- romantic comedy, but with too dull a blade. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 2, 2010 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times It's hard to get a date when you won't stop talking about yourself even though you don't have much to say. Rated: 2/5 May 12, 2010 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard If the film is an intriguing attempt to do something different by way of a plot, it is not different enough to do more than pass the time. Rated: 2/5 Mar 22, 2010 Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com Enough visual effect shots to rival a Transformers picture. And what does the screen blizzard amount to? An intolerable ride of self-importance and easily avoidable emotional trauma. Rated: D Feb 14, 2011 Full Review James Wegg JWR Director/writer Julian Kemp has totally embraced the notion that life is a merry-go-round and created a quick-paced, whimsical examination of the timeless quest for finding true love. Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 29, 2010 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Packed with extremely clever touches, this film demonstrates that brains simply aren't enough for the rom-com genre Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 4, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Hilarious and twisted look at the confusing world of relationships. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This wasn't that great, well it's British. It has some nice concepts and quotes about love and relationships... I'd watch it just for them... its kinda funny too Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a light and enjoyable story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good, it's a bit like a British Version of 100 days of Summer, funny an inventive an a little quirky, not bad at all. I think it's passable as a boy friendly Rom Com too. Not bad at all. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the tale of a British dude (Brendan Patricks) who recalls his last five girlfriends and blames them for things not working out and telling his bitter tale to the audience. However, as you flashback to the tales you begin to see that at least part of the overall blame is upon him, especially in regards to his insecurities about love. The last girlfriend which is analyzed for the longest part of the film is more âher faultâ? if you want to take sides and it's a pretty obvious move of self sabotage on her part. The tale is a bit slow but it picks up. There are some interesting interrupt moments as people and things in his fantasy âspeak to himâ? and give him advice. Usually bad advice when they aren't making him feeling insecure about his chances of making things work. There were some interesting theories and focuses. Look for âRomantic Terrorismâ? and âThe Male Guide To Sulkingâ? If I was involved with some of his exes I'd shoot myself dead. Really. Others were just fine and even lovable characters so they did a good job not making them all unlikely prospects. His last girlfriend, Gemma, was played by Naomi Harris and for the movie buffs one of his earlier irritating girlfriends, Olive, was played by Jane March (âThe Loverâ? âColor of the Nightâ? and 2010 âClash of the Titansâ?). Questions love and the feelings that go with it. He questions whether love is real and not just a stomach ache. There are some good points that romantic love is a learned ritual and not something you see in all cultures over the world though it is certainly the most popular as it takes human beings to a higher level. And, like a lot of broken heart love tales, it ends on a hopeful note of him meeting somebody new (we just see her from behind) and then immediately ending. Based on pop-philosopher Alain De Botton's book, Essays In Love (U.S. title On Love). STORY/PLOTTING/EDITING: B minus to B; CHARACTERS/DIALOGUE: B; HUMOR: B minus; CINEMATOGRAPHY: B to B plus; LOVE THEMES/FOCUSES: B; OVERALL GRADE: B; WHEN WATCHED: mid July 2012. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The basic idea of this movie was clever, and imaginative. I love quirky, and this was definitely quirky, but sometimes quirky isn't enough. I usually like quirky English movies, especially, but this one just seemed flat. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
