Iben Hjejle is both cute and intelligent as Rob's ever suffering girlfriends Laura though her accented English does sometimes expose her European background. There are several amusing cameos throughout the movie as well, but I won't reveal the actors involved. The other outstanding feature of this movie is the music. Music is at the centre of the character's lives, and the soundtrack for Rob's amusingly failed love life. The soundtrack covers an incredible variety of genres and time periods, from Elton John and Peter Frampton in the 70s to Katrina and the Waves in the 80s to Smog and Stereolab from the present.
Genres cover alternative rock, blues, pop and everything in between.
Given the setting and the story, this music never seems out of place. So this is a fun movie. It's worth seeing for the acting, the music and the comedy. I enjoyed this so much that I plan to see it again - not something a reviewer says often. It's the sort of movie you need to see with your significant other.
