  • Must Go!

    Quirky, refreshing, adorable, surprising. HILARIOUS. Tons of fun.

    This movie was definitely Knocked Up meets When Harry Met Sally. It's smart and believable, the actors are real and I didn't check my phone once which is saying a lot for me considering I'm constantly doing it. My MOTHER and I both enjoyed it, yeah it was dirty in parts but FUN dirty - I am so glad I went and saw this movie. Best Rom Com since 500 Days of Summer. Justin Long and Drew Barrymore have some serious movie magic happening in this one(: GO SEE IT.

  • Oh No!

    NOT FOR SENIORS

    by lookinggood2

    Right from the beginning this film used shocking language and disgusting discussions. We kept hoping Drew Barrymore would clean it up. It only got worse! If this is mature, we're too young for this kind of movie.

    I'd wait to see it on HBO...or cable

    by AlisonHylton

    The story was there, but a bit choppy, and the charcaters could have been fleshed out more. Granted, it was a Rom Comedy, not a drama. Since I had nothing better to do that night, not a bad use of time. I'd see it again, but wouldn't go out of my way to.
