While I liked a lot of things about this movie, the plotting was lazy and in some cases .... dumb.
First we have a depressed woman who just dumped her lying, cheating boyfriend and quit her job. She's depressed. So her parents' best idea is to send her a quarter of the way around the world, alone, to a place she has no connection with, to stay in the empty apartment of a friend ... where she knows no one?
It doesn't get more contrived and dumb than that.
Then Niall Matter, who we really like, has a melt down when a door knob falls off? Strike two.
Then she's absolutely forced to take a job at a turkey hot line? Strike three.
Then Matter calls the hot line and just happens to get her? Do you get four strikes?
Don't get me wrong, there are some nice things about the movie, but PLEASE, writers, use your brains next time.
