  A Bittersweet & Sombre Tale
  
  A strong, sombre drama about relationships that, for me, was very accurate in its depiction of male malaise and how sometimes we can take something for granted ... read more »

  Simple idea well-performed.
  
  The dating drama has been done, seemingly, to death, and the situations here are all pretty familiar - a charming but emotionally immature ladies' man torn ... read more »

  The story has so much potential in the beginning, but that's just about the highlight of this film. None of the characters are warm or likeable, its hard to... read more »

  The performances in this film are very good and the story keeps you watching. It should of been longer, but I was left feeling poignant about the characters.

  The worst Brit-flick EVER?
  
  This was so dull, even on fast forward. The actors seemed to be bored by the script, which was full of cliches. Nothing happens very slowly-it's only 70 ... read more »

  Just...Don't
  
  I should start by saying that I usually love films that are mainly dialogue driven and have no real plot. When it is done right. This film doesn't have ... read more »

  unsmirking the sarcasm
  
  Isn't Stephen Mangan (he of Green Wing fame) just a bit too comedy sketch show to convey serious dramatic intent?
  
  Yes is the answer.

  Awful, just awful. Why is it that the majority of British films are plodding, talky, trite pieces of rubbish like this?

  Great cast, script neither here nor there but could have been decent. Altogether just hopeless.

  A decent written realistic low budget little gem with a strong ending
  
  The opening moments of the film centred on the main character stupidly dumping his long term girlfriend for another. After delivering the news a twist of fate ... read more »
