Cristin Milioti is so quirkily endearing in the lead role that she makes it easy to just go with the airy tale. It's an okay romcom about a woman afraid of not realizing her potential, with the underlying clichéd storyline that regardless of who she thinks she wants to be, her one true happiness is standing right next to her. The film starts with a focus on why a woman should want to define herself independently, instead of through her marriage to a man and ends with the typical romantic notion of "it had to be you" for me to be truly happy. The cast are mostly good, Cristin is great and if you like romantic happy endings, you should enjoy this film.
