Nice.
In itself a fairly average rom-com, which is brightened up by Bell and Pegg. The chemistry between the two is nice, the humor just a bit more British than the American variants and when Kinnear also appears on the scene, this film is finally good.
Starts out a bit tough. It's only when Pegg shows up on the scene that Bell starts acting better too. The dialogues are a bit contrived but in the end fun, I found the situation humor of a slightly better level.
The film is not very surprising or unique, but it is a nice snack with two fine leads and a few successful supporting roles. Not memorable but definitely fun for once. A better version of I Give it A Year.
3.0*

Light and pleasant comedy, with an emphasis on rom-com (which I'm not normally a fan of, because of the predictability) this was also predictable, but if you're in the mood, and you can appreciate the chemistry that shows off Pegg and Bell this is a small but nice video.
Really liked Bell's character.
I had a lot of fun with them doing something before the end.
The piano soundtrack of where is my mind is really overused .
I mean deZe , Maxence Cyrin - Where Is My Mind (The Pixies Piano Cover) - YouTube
Super unoriginal , overkill .
But it doesn't matter.
This is highly recommended for a rom-com.

A very entertaining film, good dialogues, sometimes even bizarre but very fun!
Simon Pegg is great in this film but especially the interaction with Lake Bell is of a high level...
A movie that you can safely watch with your girlfriend, but one with a high entertainment value...
(and for the men Lake Bell is a sight to behold by the way)
