Just your average romantic comedy. Predictable, same story line, and a few laughs. Nothing new really, but if you enjoy rom coms you probably won't hate it.

I watched this due to being a fan of Jenny Slate and Charlie Day. It was a nice mixture of humor and sweet moments with their characters. The other characters were a bit boring but maybe that was intended so the focus would be on the main characters? Overall a good watch if you enjoy romantic comedies.

Simple premise that starts the movie - two couples who don't know each other have almost simultaneous breakups. In one case the girl dumps the guy, in the other the guy dumps the girl. The two "dumpees" meet quite accidentally and soon decide to cooperate. Each will get involved with the other's ex and do something to break up the new relationships so each can win back their lovers. There are a few things annoying about the story and the characters, particularly Charlie Day's high-pitched raspy voice is extremely hard to listen to at times. But he and the other actors do fine jobs with the roles. It is pretty easy to predict where all this will end up but it gets there in an unpredictable way. Overall a very entertaining, lightweight comedy about relationships. My wife and I watched it at home after dinner and a bottle of Zinfandel, streaming on Amazon Prime.

Really enjoyed this which makes sense since Jason Orley's previous film Big Time Adolescence was one of my favorites of 2020. Now his second feature I Want You Back is one of my favorites of 2022. Charlie Day and Jenny Slate are an endearing duo and Gina Rodriguez and Scott Eastwood are just as good as their respective exes. It is a cheesy and predictable, but with Orley's direction the film has layers and heart.

This is one of the best rom coms I've seen in a long time. Growing up in the 90's there were so many I loved but haven't seen any in year. This was definitely a good one to watch.

Nowhere near enough heart and nowhere near enough laughs. The third act is a trifle. Practically an obligation. In fact, it took so long to land the resolution I began thinking I was actually watching a very long sitcom pilot and I might have to wait until the end of the season for my payoff. Thankfully it did not take quite that long. But as bad as I felt about myself for sticking with this till the end I feel worse now after seeing so many glowing reviews here. What is wrong with you people?!
