whoa !! , a lot of mixed feelings, unrealistic reviews up in here..
Aktham_Tashtush23 August 2018
Let me cut it short,, not the best romance comedy ever,, but gotta give them it was enjoyable ,,

The plot for me was original ,, and it peaked perfectly, with that easy connected script ,, i really liked it .. the comedy was quick, wasn't laughing on my back, but had more than few giggles here and there , and the ending of was satisfying with a little funny surprise.

The cast ,, first time watching Milo, Mil Gibson's son ,, and apparently he's been acting for less than two years now ,,but honestly, the man got the acting genes and he did well ... as for Jordan Hinson, Oh, i loved her back in Eureka ,, amazing show, gotta watch it if you didn't,,, and she was good here too,, also liked they brought Colin Ferguson as a guest too,, wished he had more lines though .. :D

anyway,, saw a lot of 1/10 followed by 10/10 reviews ,, Nah,, not that bad and neither that good .. the move is good , enjoyable and is recommended..

At first I wasn't sure, but...
Australian120 August 2018
Already at the beginning of the movie I thought, No, I don't like people who break into homes, this is not my kind of movie. But... separate myself from my feeling about burglars, the movies, the cast did a really good job! The story, without giving anything away, drew me in, I felt for the characters, I could understand how it could happen, if someone is not a bad person deep down and would really like to do the right thing, while the other is a bit of an attention seeking nut case. One thing was the number plate, I expected more to happen about that... I think it is entertaining and funny enough to watch and Milo played his part well. Someday he may be as good or as popular as his Dad, even if there is no Mad Max.

Slow start, but Jordan Hinson pulls you in
renelson-7177122 August 2018
Though Harry (Milo Gibson) isn't easy to sympathize with in the beginning, stick with the movie, because Daisy (Jordan Hinson) brings out the best in him.

Despite the unconventional premise and the sometimes too-light take on a serous topic, there's something compelling about the bond between the characters that kept me invested until the end.

The odd pair up proves there's someone for everyone, and Breaking and Exiting delivered an unexpectedly sweet romance with a twist or two.

Highly improbable but fun.

Warning: Spoilers
The improbable meeting of a thirtysomething thief and a thirties trying to commit suicide in a romantic comedy. Improbable but funny, this film gave me a good time, it is quite rhythmic and short, I got into it well. I recommend it to have a good time.

Good Movie - Fun to Watch
deltablues-0632121 August 2018
Lil Gibson takes after his father, and that's not a bad thing. The "crazy" schtick was one I always enjoyed from Mel Gibson - in movies and in real life! His son has the same characteristics, and I have no problem with that since I always loved Mel Gibson. Milo is very entertaining and coming into his own. But, Jordan Hinson really carried a good part of this film. The fact that this turns into a love story was perfect, albeit expected. Milo and Jordan had great quarky chemistry and the movie worked, and was fun to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing more movies from both of them. Great work!!!

THIS IS A HOT STEAMING PILE OF GARBAGE
chloecampbell-825144 September 2018
I can't tell you how tone deaf this dumb butt movie is. They spend like forty minutes having the most forced and stupid dialogue scenes. The other ten minutes are filled with bad misplaced music and random junk. I can't explain how terrible this pile of monkey doo doo is. The main dude is a sociopath and then magically cares about a girl killing herself when he CANT EVEN KEEP HIS FISH ALIVE. The only MAYBE decent part was the scene by the pool, and some of the montage. I feel like I've watched better adult films then this movie. He's constantly trying to "fix" her when he doesn't even understand depression or suicidal tendencies. Insensitive, ignorant, and don't even get me started on the narration. I want to kill myself after watching this movie.

A big enjoyable dose of... nothing
thekarmicnomad25 September 2018
A guy goes to rob a house and becomes reluctantly embroiled in a young woman's suicide attempt. Finding the conscious he has been missing so far in his life he returns to help her.

There are so many reasons why I should hate this film. I actually can't understand how I enjoyed it as much as I did.

First off there is hardly any plot. This is just a pair of beautiful losers hanging out for a day, talking laughing and fighting. Yet I found it compelling viewing.

In my reviews of "Ocean's 8" and "Focus" I was very quick to wail on the main characters on account of them being scumbag criminals -both leads played by possibly the most two charismatic actors alive. Inexplicably that is not an issue here. I was really invested in what they are up to and I wanted them to turn their lives around. I guess that is this "chemistry" thing people are always banging on about.

If you want excitement or clever plot twists or nudity or pretty much anything outside of a rather standard romance then steer well clear of this. Saying that I really enjoyed this, take a gamble put it on in the background and see if it drags you in.

Too unlikely
Gordon-1115 August 2021
The house is beautiful to look at, but the story is just too unlikely for me to enjoy it. The decisions of the characters just don't make any sense.

Awful, crass and offensive
sarwsullivan18 May 2022
If you're a person suffering from mental illness, this is gross and offensive. Just, glamourising a suicide attempt and turning it into a romance is foul. Also the secret ingredient in his meals is so dumb it's actually hilarious.

Good original movie
manexact25 August 2018
I enjoyed watching this movie, the script is original. You cannot fully predict what will happen in the movie. had some good funny moments. It allows you to kind of get attached and feel for the bad guy.

Not the best work by the dir.
bhatiasexy8 April 2022
I will tell you the problem. The screenplay. I believe it needed more time. Rather then just making it. I wanted to hear the story. However I would love to see more from this director as he has a vision.

But this did not work for me.

SCRIPT IS A PERFECT COPY OF idiots (2012- malayalam)
joelks-893808 May 2021
The script is stolen from a malayalam (Indian) movie including the climax plot twist of where he finds her in the first place.

Unique, might watch again
MermaidMandy0113 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I read a negative review for this movie before seeing it that said something about Harry being a bad person and letting his fish die etc. I still wanted to see it for myself though. First off, his fish is still alive at the end of the movie. Second, Harry isn't a bad person. He's a typical 30 yr old dude who robs houses for a living, likes alcohol, and smoking pot. I don't think he knew he was a good person or has the potential to be better, but the signs were there. For example, one house they robbed he put money in a little girl's piggy bank. That was before he ended up saving Daisy twice. Let me just add you don't even know Daisy's name until midway which is unfortunate because she's a character you want to empathize with and know more about. Milo Gibson looks sooo much like his dad, it's crazy. I would also add that I don't consider this a romantic comedy. It's more of a dark humor or even a drama where two people with their own issues just happen to form a bond. I wish the movie would've ended with the family event at Grandma's that was mentioned two times previous and that it would've been explained what kind of job Daisy does for a living. On the other hand the music was good, and the storyline was different. It's only about an hour long movie so it's really short. I would've liked to see more or learned more about the main characters.

Excellent movie! Loved everything about it especially the end
drgrichychiro3 September 2018
I loved this romantic comedy. Got attached to the characters and felt the sadness, joy, fear and love throughout the movie. This is how I know a movie is well done!

The actors did an amazing job and the movie was well produced to have you transported with them !

I laugh a lot also which made it all worse it ! And I love that they also make it a movie about awareness on a really important issue.

Thanks for a really entertaining evening

A true sleaper
pnfkwfl21 August 2018
One of the best movies I have seen in years. I do not run verbose on this. Suffice to say that you should watch it. Milo did an excellent job. I just loved it.

This movie will leave you happy. And I am a man. This is not some ordinary chick flick. It is a movie that will reinforce your love of life.

Interesting and simultaneously silly
chopprz5 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is decent.... Gibson compelling.

Reviews and ratings are another story: NONE identifying drugs/alcohol.... yet, she swallows a bottle of hydrocodone with a glass (bottle) of wine and now they're getting high.... LMAO.... 'NONE'.

Watch this movie! The haters can go suck it!
ratso73-126 August 2018
Don't know why ratings are all over the place on this one. It's A great freakin movie. I stumbled across this one. Watched it with my girlfriend. Great Date night movie. Story was well written. Jordan Hinson and Milo Gibson, had amazing chemistry. Peter Facinelli CRUSHED it, directing it. It had me from start to finish.

WATCH THIS MOVIE! The haters can go suck it.

Its better then most studio rom com pics Ive seen. And I had a friend who committed suicide so its a great conversation starter to a heavy subject. The subject matter was well handled. But the core is a love story. And it worked. My girlfriend loved it too.

Bravo Peter Facinelli Directing debut.
natpacker21 August 2018
Having seen Peter Facinelli film After Jimmy which dealt with the same subject matter my twin sister and I were curious how his directing debut would be like. First the choice of music was great hope there is a soundtrack soon. But we were very impressed the actors Milo and the writer of the film Jordan Hinson did an excellent job it was like watching a play be performed. Check out both films if you can we recommend both.

So fun!
tarasenkolisa21 August 2018
For such a heavy topic I truly enjoyed this film! In light of the rent suicides of public figures/famous people, this is a critically important topic that we should alll discussing. Seeing how the film deals with this topic brings This to the forefront in a respectful fun way! The romance and story is filled w Momenta that capture you through out!

Original Storyline, Great Acting & Filmed Spectacularly
ryanderemo24 August 2018
10/10

I rarely give a movie a perfect score. This one was an exception that I had to give a quick review.

The directing and acting was incredible. You can tell there is a lot of magic between the two main characters (Milo Gibson and Jordan Hinson).

This is a very "California" themed movie. It was directed by Peter Facinelli from the Twilight films, Nurse Jackie and most notably to me...Can't Hardly Wait.

The theme is carefully crafted to show people that suicide is not the option, and that you must be there for anyone you feel is in that situation.

What's great is that it really shows the characters before and after realizations in a very fun yet serious way. Daisy (suicidal) and Harry (thief) really surprise one another with the basic nature of the human hearts abilities to overcome and supersede.

I think this is a must see "dramedy" that will surely touch anyone that watches. Lots of suspense and also laughter. 10/10
