Montages

Okay, I didn't hate this movie.
I came in with the expectation that Karen was in it and also she would be sort of nude for several moments. So I floated along with the film not engaged but not pained either.

Except for the love of god, FIVE montages? Can you think of no other way to advance the story than this? I think five, and lengthy ones at that, is a record.

No idea how to rate this flick. Might have gone another star if they had not dressed her dowdily. 4/10.

"I like spaghetti. I like board games. I like grabbing a trifecta with that longshot on top. That ozone smell you get from air purifiers. And I like knowing the space between my ears is immeasurable. Mahler's first, Bernstein conducting. You've got to think about all the things you like and decide whether they're worth sticking around for."

I agree on the montages, it made the overall pacing feel choppy.

I don't think they dressed her dowdily, I think they were going for quirky hipster. I personally didn't like the style but I saw what they were trying to go for.

I LOVED the ending.

I agree they dressed her properly for the part. My complaint was self centered. I am not a big watcher of romcoms and was there mostly because I love her legs. Of which I was denied by the way they dressed her. 

I think that was my point. That and the montages...
