4/10
Not a Rom Com

Warning: Spoilers
I guess they thought they were being innovative by starting after the beginning, but I like things to start at the beginning. Call me a stick-in-the-mud if you will, but that doesn't change my preference.

So I didn't like that this film starts about 1/4 of the way through, then goes back to the beginning. I also don't like the voice-over, another "innovative" technique that I think has been done to death.

I also didn't like that she dumped her boyfriend to go out with the main character, and he didn't respect her boundary that she was already taken. Treat each other with disrespect from the beginning, and you'll go right on doing it.

That's what eventually broke this couple up - he didn't keep his promises to her nor keep his eyes to himself. She didn't let him have a say in the decisions that they were supposed to make as a couple.

Both of them blame the other person and don't accept responsibility for their trail of broken relationships. So although it's no surprise that they're both single at the end of the film, they are inexplicably thinking about getting back together again.

This movie goes in my "Watch it Once and Only Once" category.
