Review

  • Harmless romcom that has some charm but also some annoying elements which prevent it from being very good. Rose Byrne and Ethan Hawk star and do a good job as the woman in a hapless relationship and the washed up rock star respectively. Their relationship is well developed and there's a touch of nostalgia that I liked. But this brings me to one of the things I hated about this movie which is the Chris O'Dowd character, an actor I usually like. His character is so cartoonish and over the top that I couldn't connect with anything related to him. Granted he's not a huge part of the story, but has enough presence to make me dislike much of the movie. Everything else is fine and I would just like to mention Azhy Robertson that does a really good job as Ethan Hawke's son. It's not a terrible movie I just found some characters and situations very stereotypical and not very inspired, but it still earns my recommendation.
