Yet another romantic comedy, set in the US of A but not quite
as boring as the others. It was funny as fuck and gave a few turns that you didn’t
expect, as well as a few that you did. With Jason Segel having a major part in
the movie as a writer and a star of the film, it was bound to be funny. Also
starring the quintessentially British Emily Blunt, it was clear that the film
was going to be funny and girly, and strangely enough they made a really cute
couple.
They get engaged, of course, that is what the film is based
on. It is a super romantic proposal that made all of the girls look at their
other halves with a look that just said “I want that”. You see them starting to
plan the wedding and then their need to make it awesome when Emily’s sister
gets knocked up and has a quickie, but super cute, wedding. Now, here is the ‘drop’
of the film. Emily gets a job and Jason leaves his super awesome chef job to go
with her and he ends up working in a sandwich shop. You can see from this alone
that the resentment is going to start, but the point is he keeps at it, to make
her happy. Then her contract is extended and loads of shit goes down. Then they
break-up, and that’s that.
The film was really well written and super funny, but I think
that there wasn’t enough buzz about the film. I really did enjoy it though, it
was funny and romantic and normal, you saw the way couples actually are, the
arguing and the resentment and hatred that can develop. And you also see that
sometimes, just sometimes, a baby will make him stay.
So yes, a good film, and another reason that I probably
enjoyed it was that the cinema was empty, I did go to see it on the opening day
and so I expected a load of people, but nope. The cinema was pretty dead, I put
this down to the fact that it wasn’t a Wednesday, and so there wasn’t the
Orange Wednesday offer which is the thing that draws in the students.
IT’S A HILARIOUS FILM. So go and watch it, especially if you
liked films like The Break-Up, or if you’re a fan of messed up but adorable
romances. GO! NOW! BYE!
