This was an unpleasant experience and I won’t be revisiting it, nor can I suggest others do so. I often rely on actors like Paul Rudd and Jack Nicholson as indicators of how good a film will be; Reese Witherspoon usually appears in worthwhile movies too, even though she isn't typically among my favorites. However, this one simply falls flat. It’s like watching paint dry—a romantic comedy stripped of any enjoyment. The movie constantly telegraphs what should be occurring and then avoids it. I get that defying expectations can be funny, but the joke wears thin with repeated use. If you push it that far, you're making a film for people who write jokes, because they’re the only ones who would see life as something to mock, which doesn't seem to have been the intention here. There's an apparent message about resilience and adjusting to circumstances—the idea that things will eventually work out even when times are hard—but the film just abruptly ends without any resolution or final scene; the characters simply vanish. I believe there’s something worthwhile to be gleaned from this movie, if you’re willing to search for it: a person with plenty but unable to provide what's necessary isn't as valuable as someone who has little and is eager to offer support. It presents an opposing view to the saying "Nice guys finish last." I urge you not to spend your time on this; instead, choose any other film featuring Paul Rudd—except for the one where he purchases a house in France.
