The nebbishness is spot on, but it lacks vintage Woody Allen's charm and humour.

Rated: 2/5

Although Quinn may strike some viewers as more annoying narcissist than self-deprecating charmer, he's a vivid creation.

New York Times

This derivative comedy, in addition to not being particularly funny, gives off a sense of telling us more than we needed to know.

One Room With A View

Simon Helberg's cringe-inducing (non)romantic comedy crudely force-feeds its characters on time-honoured flaws, only to watch on hopefully as the audience eventually gives in to its absurdity.

Rated: 3/5

A fantastically clever script with fun performances from the entire cast, especially leads Simon Helberg, Melanie Lynskey and Maggie Grace.

Rated: 8.5/10

Decent watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend. I like Simon Helberg as an actor, but there is so little about this character that makes me care about him at all. And I like Melanie Lynskey, as an actor, and she's pretty too, but with Maggie Grace and her character, even from his perspective, it doesn't make any sense why there is a story here at all, he should just be with Kelsey. I'll digress a bit, but he's just the embodiment of problems, and she's just using time invested as an excuse to keep torturing herself with a relationship she finds taxing with little benefit. Most of the movie is about how they're scared they've both sheltered themselves too much and might be making a mistake. It seems like they go and prove themselves right, and still come to an obvious and stereotypical conclusion. None of this should be spoilers, it's a very blatant formulaic "break up because I want to know what else is out there" cliche of a movie, with all the standard features. I'm not going to say you're wasting your time on this, but I will say that there are probably better movies out there to watch.

Romantic comedy about an nerdy klutz and how he almost wrecks his love life. Not too bad, some chuckles.

Woody Allen Wannabe Much? liked him better as Howard on Big Bang Theory. Don't know how any Woman would wanna be with this Whiney downer, much like Woody. Loved the Other characters, also like a Woody film.What I did love though, was that Paris, and it's amazing sights that I long to see, is a prominent character in this film, and had me rewinding more than I care to admit

Fans of The Big Bang Theory may be interested to see Helberg, and he does his usual sort of performance, but the film lacks substance and struggles to hold your attention.
