Am I the only one who really enjoyed this...?


Jeez, this board is really negative! I actually really enjoyed this movie! I love Emily Blunt and Jason Segel, they're both great talents. I didn't mind the story... I thought it was cute!

I really enjoyed it too! I think it mostly directed at couples, I could relate to a lot of the situations in the movie and actually found it genuinely funny and even emotional at times. The length also made sense as the action covers a five-year period. But I do admit that I may not have found it as entertaining a couple of years ago. ;)

I loved it! I have watched it with my in laws, my husband, and my ex and everyone loved it. Remember for every lover there are three haters.

I'm only at the 84 minute mark and I am already bored out of my mind. Sure it has a few laughs here and there but the main storyline is filled with tedious boring every day stuff, that is just not interesting at all, which I really don't need to see in a movie. It doesn't help, that it follows the exact same story that every boy meets girl movie has followed since the dawn of time, only that it draws the whole thing out way too long. The slapsticky humor in between just feels out of place with the rest of the movie.
Not a movie I would recommend to anyone.

Though I think it kind of rambled-on at parts and got a little dull, overall I did find it enjoyable. I laughed pretty hard at all of Ming's parts lol

I also enjoyed it. I like movies where the characters develop and evolve instead of just overcoming a particular obstacle or misunderstanding. That's pretty rare in rom-coms. "You slept with my best friend!" "Did not!"

I liked it. I was pleasantly surprised.

I really enjoyed the movie. It was funny, different and a wonderful romantic comedy. Gave it a 8 1/2 👍. I'm shocked it didn't do well at the box office.
