not a good premise

The fact that these were figments of his own imagination and not ghosts is a pretty lame premise. I guess if you go on a journey of self discovery for an hour within your own imagination you can be cured of your womanizing ways for the past 20 years. And every girl he has slept with ( hundreds I presume)is a 10+ model. I don't care how good looking you are you are bound to have to settle for some mediocre/below average women on off days. Sorry I am venting but I just wasted 90 min on this heap.

you put way too much thought into this movie my man (or possibly female). i agree with the mediocre/below average women part but its a movie. watch entourage or any other handful of films and you'll notice that every single female, even extras are 10+ models (obviously unrealistic but pointless to take points off of a film or show for unless your an extreme realist). i thought the simple premise worked mainly because i (and im sure plenty of others) know someone like Connor..its refreshing to see a film that isn't embracing the perfect bachelor player types (as so many do) and show the downside of it. far from a masterpiece but definitely not a bad way to waste an hour and a half in my opinion.

It could have been better. I was expecting something with a little more production value, like maybe seeing a street scene from the 1980s, instead of staying indoors at night all the time.

I just have a hard time believing that there are guys like that in world, but I guess there are, and I guess women fall for them. Oh well.

Thank goodness for being a fat-bald guy.
