Overview
Long-term couple Owen and Hallie are breaking up—or maybe not?—and just as their relationship reaches a turning point, Matt and Willa embark on a romance of their own.
This movie does a decent job portraying how difficult it can be to start and maintain a relationship. The bad news is that you feel like you are watching the movie in real time. The story is underwritten and this leaves the actors to try to get more out of scenes than what is really there, and unfortunately none of the actors have those kinds of chops (how Emma Roberts keeps getting starring roles is a mystery to me). The movie is about the struggle that relationships can be, and I get that is why there were no conclusions or resolutions. But when the ending happened, I could not have been more apathetic. In fact, I am not sure that I even noticed.
