Dating & New York

Charming and indie and cute

What a fun and fantastic modern rom com!! Can't wait to watch again now that it's on streaming.

This is the only film about dating in New York that I have ever actually liked. It's super-smart, original, and funny as hell. It's As a New Yorker who went through a f***load of dating, I can attest to the accuracy of a lot of what was portrayed. By the end of the movie, I was having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that I had actually enjoyed a romantic comedy. The script was seriously well-put-together, the characters were very likeable, and the whole vibe was endearingly weird.

If you lived in New York City in your 20s you will love this movie. Brought me back…

Boooring, slow couldn't get passed the first half

If you just want to pass a little time, this might be for you. Just didn't find it interesting but you might.

your mileage may vary as for myself, i can't say i wasn't charmed or entertained

I honestly don’t know why this worked for me but it did 3.4. Obviously pretty predictable . And it’s tough to feel bad for anyone involved when they all seem to get laid enough

This is probably the worst film I've ever seen. How is the writer/director/cringe cameo not a boomer? I'm a millennial and this feels like an excruciating attempt to describe gen z dating by someone who met their soulmate in middle school 40 years ago. The first line/premise of almost every conversation in this film feels like an observation from When Harry Met Sally that is so out of date, so obvious and so easy that blowing out the premise into an entire conversation in 2021 is stunning. It's SO out of touch it's unbelievable. You can also feel the lack of a script throughout the entire film. Every scene feels half written, as if the writer knew he was casting a comedian (Jaboukie) so he just came up with beats for the scene and relied on the actors to essentially improvise the entire movie. The relationship between the two leads is pretty much just them bickering about the premise of the film that they are in for the entire film. Nothing else happens. They just talk and talk and talk about the fact that they're hooking up but not together. AND YET THEY NEVER HOOK UP. By no means am I longing for a sex scene, but literally all these people do is walk around New York. They genuinely just feel like friends. The film is so low budget there are almost no establishing shots, which creates an incredibly surreal, claustrophobic viewing experience. You can feel it being shot in 5 days. There's a scene where Jaboukie is at a spa getting a mud mask plastered onto his face and the goop slowly creeps closer and closer to his eyeball with every cut back. Which is just so hilariously amateur. The only redeeming part of the film is the scene where Catherine Cohen and her boyfriend go to view an apartment and he asks her to move in together. We even see their wedding and we don't get a shot of her walking down the aisle from the front. Only from her back. Like...??? I needed the dress reveal! There are SO many frames/takes in this film that are just so insanely amateur that only a totally self financed person could have made this movie. Who paid for this??? Who in 2021 would read this script and spend the money to hire a Daily Show correspondent and SAG actors and an entire film crew?? But we all know that this "auteur" will fail upwards and have a show on Hulu or Netflix or something by 2022.

My diverse group of 18-35 year old friends all watched this over the weekend and loved it. perfect modern day romcom for the new generation of 18-35 year olds.
