I’ve had
this movie in my home waiting to be watched for a week now. Finally, last night I buckled down and stuck it in the DVD player.
Having recently had a break-up of my own I’ve been dreading watching this one, but two friends of mine highly recommended the movie as it was a total reminder of what they are having to live with.
Since this is a movie about a break-up, it’s easy to assume going into it that there will be no “happy ending”. Why I would want to watch a movie about two people dealing with the same pain I’ve felt recently is beyond me.
The movie made me laugh quite a bit, however. There were brief moments of fun – but mostly it felt like I was watching the breakdown in communication that I felt with Dominik.
I don’t recommend this movie. If you are in a relationship, don’t bother to bring the pain and heartache that this movie will give you into that. If you are getting out of your relationship, then all it will do is bring up the hurt again.
Movie rating: C-
