So imagine my skepticism when I sat down to watch this well-reviewed, cloyingly unapologetic romantic drama. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be my date movie of the year. When the plane goes down killing everyone aboard, Buddy's guilt is amplified by a year of alcoholism and rehab. He starts by throwing her some work.
Work leads to dates, to love, and to lies on both sides.
It's not brave if you're not scared. Theirs is the only relationship that matters in this movie, resting solely upon their chemistry - that is, if they had any left after the end of their romantic relationship. Not only do they feed off of each other beautifully, scripted and unscripted, but also they truly do look like they're in love. It's a moving experience when you do not know where acting ends and reality begins. But this is an example of what happens when good scripts happen to good actors.
