Five minutes in, and I wanted to strangle the lead actor

Rating: 1/10 (26 September 2012)

And then the writer. Yes. People have relationships and occasionally those relationships break up. This is allegedly based upon the writer's own experiences of his break ups with various girlfriends. Our main protagonist is clingy, whiny, needy, desperate and cries a lot. A LOT. We get it, he's upset that his girlfriend broke up with him. Instead of moping for a while and then picking himself up and getting on with it, our protag drags about dripping like Chinese Water Torture.
So having established himself as possibly the most irritating character in the history of the written word, we are supposed to go on his self-indulgent journey with him as he travels to Hawaii to forget his troubles. Where, naturally, he runs into his ex-girlfriend and her new man. New man is the antithesis of our drippy protag. He's brash, hard and flashy. Normally, I would be rooting for him to get his comeuppance. In this instance, I'm hoping that irritating new boyfriend triumphs.
