Saw this in Cardiff last Tuesday. Really enjoyed it, quirky, funny and a bit more true to life than most RomCom type films (I know this was billed as being a non-RomCom....)

Great film, great acting, brilliant onscreen chemistry between the leads, I definitely recommend seeing it!

I'm with you on that Ms Thrifty. These were the first tix I've had for ages & was really looking forward to it but hubby messed up (he's still in the doghouse!) & I missed the preview. He'll have to p*y for me to see it now & babysit!

Would recommend watching - definitely isn't your average romcom but a quirky and fun alternative. Is it just me or did the main lead remind you of Heath Ledger from the "10 things I hate about you" film?!

JGL was actually in that film, and it has been commented that he and Heath Ledger looked similar enough as to be mistaken for brothers. Hence why, like Sony have Jake Gyllenhaal as a backup in case Tobey Maguire doesn't agree to sign the latest Spiderman contracts, JGL is being cited by Batfans as a natural replacement for Ledger in the role of the Joker.

Absolutely loved this film. I was able to take my wife and daughter to a free screning (courtesy of FMUK and their speedy posters (thanks))
Now me and my daughter play the 'take it in turns to say a rude word louder and louder in public' game - much to the wifes disgust

This film is really good, enjoyed it immensely. It's rather bittersweet and you can't help feeling sorry for the male lead.
