I'll be completely honest. I only watched this movie for Adrian Grenier and he was barely in it! He might've been in this movie 15 minutes total! And when he was on screen, it was nothing spectacular. He just basically walked around and made minor comments. At least he looked pretty doing it I guess. The writers definitely should've given him more to work with.
Amy Smart who plays Mary, was actually pretty good in this movie until the ending love rant. No one does that. It was very unrealistic. The minor characters were fairly likable too, even Mary's ex who dumped her.
The storyline was unique and I actually enjoyed many of the memories told and shown throughout. But because so much time was spent on this, there isn't time left for Mary, and Adrian's character, James, to develop a relationship. They spend the entire movie apart, aside from the meet cute. They text sporadically, but it's not much of substance that I saw. I could see why Mary started liking James. She was writing a story about his adventures from all over the world, by talking to anyone in his phone contacts. After hearing numerous stories of how he was the best guy, how could she not have feelings? But love? That's too soon. They had spent absolutely NO time together! And James apparently loved her too when they see each other at the end of the movie. That's right. This pair sees each other at the beginning of the movie, then only spent a few minutes together at the end. There wasn't much chemistry because there was no time for it to develop. I'm giving 5 stars for the *plot idea, *touching stories, *Mary's best friend, and **how Mary finds herself throughout the movie.
