      Audience Member Best ever romantic comedy! The comedic aspects are always front and center as the romantic arc unfolds. I have never laughed so hard while watching a dramatic moment. SPOILER ALERT: When he tells her he is falling in love with her, she asks why he is sleeping with other woman, so he asks if he is supposed to remain celibate while he basks in the warmth of her annihilating contempt. This movie will appeal to anyone with an education who likes to laugh as it is a truly intelligent movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable romance flick. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved how he found a justification for studying philosophy Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member cool film with a slow pace for any intellectual viewer Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Frances H Mildly pleasant rom-com with the good message that treated women like sex objects who must be tricked into sex is not a good thing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/19/13 Full Review Audience Member An enjoyable indie rom-com Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
