If I were to evaluate this comedy, I would have to praise it, especially for how well it managed to lift my spirits. It is full of positive and pleasant situations, which are in the spirit of the eighties. A return to the past this pleasant can make you happy just by existing.

A hundred tired jokes planted in an uninteresting plot that addresses typical relationship problems. The only upside is the divine soundtrack, which is better played on its own. Dan Fogler, on the other hand, is the biggest bummer. What is certain is that if he didn't have a few extra pounds, he wouldn't have appeared in the film. His acting ability is based on how funny he looks when he dances. Fortunately, I didn't mind the female cast. 2.5 stars.

Any attempt at humor in this movie was immediately stifled by numerous pseudo-romantic clichés, the story was terribly predictable, and for a comedy, it was quite a snooze. I might throw a star just for Chris Pratt because he was convincingly simple-minded, and for Michelle Trachtenberg for purely personal reasons. / Lesson learned: Ashamed of your profession? Remember, even a bookseller can live a life full of adrenaline.

Topher Grace and Teresa Palmer just don't click for me in this film, and I watched them with slight discomfort because this simply isn't the type of romantic comedy that I enjoy. The chubby friend is probably the funniest, which is quite sad because the other characters are boring. Overall, this just didn't work.
