Now to be honest I’ll admit I have a huge crush on Kristen Bell, as do most men with a pulse. This was pretty much my only reason for wanting to check this film out and truth be told I’m glad I did.

If you can forgive the quick transition from Bell/Segel break up to Hawaii scenes in the beginning of the film then this actually turns out to be a rather enjoyable, albeit easy going, movie. And its actually funny.

Jason Segel (from HIMYM) really had a sweet gig imo. He wrote the film and then was able to get Bell and Mila Kunis cast as his romantic interests, thats enough to be labeled a big success in my book.

Good parts:

The story telling is aided by random flash backs of past relationship situations (Bell buying bad shirts for Segel, Bell making Segel hold purses, etc) and are actually really well done. They kind of intersperse with good comedic timing and flowed rather well.

If anyone has ever broken up with a partner after a long relationship then I can guarantee they’ll find this movie satisfying and funny.

The audience was very vocal in its viewing as there were plenty of laughs and quite a bit of clapping.

Russell Brand is great. This was my first time seeing him in anything and I’m sure it won’t be my last. He worked really well as Bell’s new British Pop Singer boytoy.

Billy Baldwin has a small and funny part as well.

One note, stick around at the end of the film, Jason Bateman has a scene at the end that was pretty funny.

Although that first Iron Man poster that was posted earlier is also amazing :P
