It's a romantic comedy I promise!! Here, watch this trailer.
Now I'm not usually one to like this type of comedic humor; it's very dry. Like VERY dry. Had it starred any two other main actors I probably wouldn't have even bothered watching it. But I have a slight obsession with Anna Kendrick so of course I had to give it a go...and here we are 24 hours later and I still can't stop thinking about it!
Martha is super sarcastic and unlucky in love so when she meets a totally random dude in a convenient shop she agrees to go out with him because what does she have to lose? Spoiler: she has a lot to lose...mainly her sanity.
That being said, this movie is so utterly far-fetched that if you can let go of reality and strap in for the ride it can be an amazing experience. But if you're one of those cinema nerds and need everything to be somewhat grounded in reality then this movie is NOT for you. The ending especially is completely ridiculous - assuming Martha was just a girl off the street in the beginning of the movie and doesn't have a checkered past.
It's hard to describe this movie without spoiling it so just sit down and watch it. It's actually a really sweet romantic comedy when you think about it. Also, since it's not a mainstream blockbuster you can stream it (or rent it, if you're into that kind of thing) on the cheap.
4.5 stars
