In short the movie is about 2 couple who have been in a long relationship in the past who are trying to move on, Allison (Cobie) invites his ex-boyfriend Adam (Justin) to attend her wedding with her new boyfriend (or future husband), things down the line start getting weird as Adam starts to remember the past and the relationship he had with Allison, and by the end of the movie he tries his best to get her back, but ends up screwing it all up for good. *Note: In real life situation you wouldn't dare attend your ex-girls wedding nor would she even invite you, i think it could have been more sensible if it was centered around for example an engagement party of some kind, because that would be your very last chance to turn things around (if you can), not at an actual wedding where everything is already pre-prepared, so i think in that context the film could have taken a different approach, i was happy though on how well Allison (Cobie) and Adam (Justin) acted with their face impression, mimics and essence of the characters.

What kind of a man attends the wedding of an ex-gf? What kind of an ex-gf, seemingly makes it an obligation to attend said wedding? This makes no sense to me in the real world. This is not only wrong but screams of an attention *. I wonder why one would not only want to rub it in her exes face but also put her significant other in an uncomfortable spot.

If this is a comedy, it had exactly one second of laughter. If this is a drama, it had no salient moments. I watched it for free, but I can never get back the time wasted. Who can I sue?

This movie describes itself as a comedy, but I found very little to be funny. I honestly found watching the characters insanely depressing and not thought provoking. There is no overall message other than "This too shall pass" and even then, the ending was a huge let down. The actors did a good job with what was given to them, it is in no way their fault, in my opinion. However this whole thing came off like a bad student indie film made for a college exam. A huge disappointment. The two stars are for the actors' attempts.

I enjoyed this movie from start to finish. You are instantly taken into the world of Adam, which is a world of confusion and discomfort mixed with irrational thinking and uncertainty as he finds out that the-one- who-got-away is getting married. It is very hard not to empathize with his character in this very awkward situation. This theme is carried throughout the film as every individual Adam comes in contact with likely expresses the same tone and feeling. Could something like this happen in real life? I'm sure. Does is happen on a daily basis? Positively not. Which is another reason why I enjoyed the film. It's unusual, but could happen. This Romantic Comedy had me laughing at the parts of the movie that deserved a good laugh. And had me feeling very sorry for poor Adam. All in all, 10/10 for me.

Many years ago (about 15, to be exact), I was a film and TV talent manager here in Vancouver and joined up with an agency that also represented models. One of the girls was Cobie Smulders. We worked together fo a couple of years and I got her her first acting jobs. Her big break was a series for ABC called "Veritas: The Quest" which lasted less than one season, but she was good enough for me too introduce her to some high profile agents in LA and they managed to get her a role in "How I Met Your Mother" for CBS. Her career exploded and she's now starred in several big movies, including many of "The Avengers" film wherein she plays Agent Maria Hill. I unfortunately became a has been, because the agency I worked with collapsed as did I. Such is life. Thus my feeling of awkwardness in watching this little movie that tries so hard, but goes absolutely nowhere fast. It's a shame really, because I really like Justin Long, but there was no chemistry between the leads at all.

This is a movie that stays on point with our protagonist Adam (Justin Long) throughout the entirety of the film. Its about the nature of relationships and how not all of them end after they end so to speak. Watch this film from Adam's point of view and it suddenly becomes engrossing because you can never guess how someone in this situation will react to a combination of jealousy, rage, longing, confusion, and love. The complexity of panicked emotions that accompany heavy romantic relationships are showcased here very well. This is a great addition to those who love serious but also witty relationship films. Justin Long is a wonderful actor who is able pull off a detailed rendition of a hopeless romantic on the verge of self destruction. If you were entertained after seeing this look up and watch Justin Long's other film " Comet ". You shouldn't be disappointed!

Ryan Eggold of Blacklist and 90210 wrote and directed this romantic dramedy. Unfortunately he could have done with some help. The story isn't good unless maybe it's autobiographical. A man goes to his ex girlfriends wedding to a seemingly better guy in San Francisco. Justin Long is quite watchable as usual. And his too hot for him girlfriend is played by Cobie Smulders. There are some jokes that would be okay if snappier but they tend to drag on too long until they lose their punch. The wedding itself is pretty painful and finally the ending - what's the meaning? One crucial thing they didn't show is how the relationship ended a year and a half ago. The story could have been tightened and the ending could have been more clever.

This is literally a movie about a man named Adam being cuckold by another man named Aaron who is marrying Adam's ex-girlfriend Allison. The movie stars with Adam getting the news that he is invited to Allison's wedding. Adam then takes his current girlfriend to a fancy restaurant where he proposes marriage in what seems like a romantic gesture. But immediately after proposing, he changes his mind and says that he can't wake up next to that face day after day for the rest of his life. And he breaks it off making an ass of himself. After that we find out that Adam and his ex were together for 8 years before she met Aaron. Then after just one year, Allison is marrying Aaron and she has invited Adam to her wedding so that they can remain friends post-breakup. Adam goes to the wedding but the whole time Adam is freaking out. His best friend has to video chat with him constantly to give him advice and help him with his morale. Finally after the train wreck that is Adam watching the love of his life marry someone else and the rejection that follows when he tries to get her back, Adam causes a scene. Adam is then chased away by an irate Aaron, and Adam boards a bus and waves goodbye to Allison. After that we are left with scenes of Adam hiking and motor boating ostensibly by himself.

I would say this is a real disaster movie, just to save you from wasting your previous 1.5h, the essence of movie is a grown up man who can't move on from his ex and being a dipshit jeoparding the very special day of his ex special day, and sobbing like baby wondering if he can ever be back with her, seriously!
