DAMN YOU NETFLIX!!! This was recommended to me by Netflix, and after ignoring it for a few months I finally decided to give it a try. Bad idea. The characters in this movie are not likable and the story is unbelievable.

During a one-night stand Fred is kind of manipulated by Mindy into going without a condom, and then literally held in place, which leads to the necessity of the morning after pill. Mindy, in the beginning, is completely neurotic, appears to be a pathological liar, and proceeds to fight Fred every step of the way. They end up spending a very strange day together in which nothing happens to make the viewer think Mindy is anything other than crazy. Fred starts out as a guy who is being manipulated, changes into a guy who can't seem to be honest and forthright, and eventually settles into a cheater (still a doormat and way too concerned that no one think he's a bad guy).

All in all the writing and progression were awful, it is inconceivable that these people end up together, and this is in no way romantic or comedic. The directing wasn't too bad.
