Delightful

the story moved quick, the dialogue was sharp (yet fresh, which is not easy to do recently)

i want to say it vaguely reminded me of neil simon. the actors really hit their marks, bringing off these OUTRAGEOUS circumstances as completely believable. (like getting married 15 minutes after you meet someone. that is not realistic, but seemed very real in the movie)

kudos to writer, director, crew, cast. and a thanks, b/c not many delicious little films come out any more. this one was exactly that

PMS robert klein is the coolest, isn't he?

Caught this "On Demand" over the weekend and quite enjoyed it. Jennifer Westfeldt is a unique talent. No wonder Jon Hamm is so smitten with her!

Must be her background in theater. I thought the writers did a great job with this for a first time film. I enjoyed this story. I thought it was clever and interesting.

Hi LTUM! Yes, Plat has seen this and enjoyed it very much. I watched it because I read your OP back in 2010. You know I love your recommendations and want you to keep right on recommending. Rebel against the anti-movie culture and insulated silent movie viewer! Proclaim good movies loudly! :)

IMDB says that Jennifer Westfeldt wrote this. Well, great speech by Seymour about staying with someone! Loved it.

Delightful is a great word to describe this movie. I loved it! It was so different but I thought it was fun, quirky, witty, and romantic! Jennifer did a great job with this. Love to come across refreshing movies like this.
