Luis T @RT99759221 Jun 10 Horribly vapid, boring, and worst of all, unfunny. Possibly the most boring guy on the planet (lead protagonist (?)) dates 5 women and his relationships fail for trivial or common reasons, that, uh, relationships fail. Except no one here is likeable the slightest bit. The topics are treated superficially and the actors are just bad. This could've been such a great theme. They couldn't have done worse with such an interesting subject, and the visual gimmicks and random magical characters making comments hardly helps, nor add any substance to a romantic comedy where the viewer is interested in people's relationships. See more 12/04/2013 Hilarious and twisted look at the confusing world of relationships. See more 03/19/2013 This wasn't that great, well it's British. It has some nice concepts and quotes about love and relationships... I'd watch it just for them... its kinda funny too See more 09/09/2012 It was a light and enjoyable story. See more 08/23/2012 Pretty good, it's a bit like a British Version of 100 days of Summer, funny an inventive an a little quirky, not bad at all. I think it's passable as a boy friendly Rom Com too. Not bad at all. See more 07/23/2012 This is the tale of a British dude (Brendan Patricks) who recalls his last five girlfriends and blames them for things not working out and telling his bitter tale to the audience. However, as you flashback to the tales you begin to see that at least part of the overall blame is upon him, especially in regards to his insecurities about love. The last girlfriend which is analyzed for the longest part of the film is more âher faultâ? if you want to take sides and it's a pretty obvious move of self sabotage on her part. The tale is a bit slow but it picks up. There are some interesting interrupt moments as people and things in his fantasy âspeak to himâ? and give him advice. Usually bad advice when they aren't making him feeling insecure about his chances of making things work. There were some interesting theories and focuses. Look for âRomantic Terrorismâ? and âThe Male Guide To Sulkingâ? If I was involved with some of his exes I'd shoot myself dead. Really. Others were just fine and even lovable characters so they did a good job not making them all unlikely prospects. His last girlfriend, Gemma, was played by Naomi Harris and for the movie buffs one of his earlier irritating girlfriends, Olive, was played by Jane March (âThe Loverâ? âColor of the Nightâ? and 2010 âClash of the Titansâ?). Questions love and the feelings that go with it. He questions whether love is real and not just a stomach ache. There are some good points that romantic love is a learned ritual and not something you see in all cultures over the world though it is certainly the most popular as it takes human beings to a higher level. And, like a lot of broken heart love tales, it ends on a hopeful note of him meeting somebody new (we just see her from behind) and then immediately ending. Based on pop-philosopher Alain De Botton's book, Essays In Love (U.S. title On Love). STORY/PLOTTING/EDITING: B minus to B; CHARACTERS/DIALOGUE: B; HUMOR: B minus; CINEMATOGRAPHY: B to B plus; LOVE THEMES/FOCUSES: B; OVERALL GRADE: B; WHEN WATCHED: mid July 2012.
