  Bit too much realism for me.

  Perhaps I am too old to be watching and listening to people argue and fight.

  Good but it is not a comedy.
  
  This film is good but I thought it would be a comedy and it is depressingly not funny. As a commentary on relationships it is very good but don't sit down ... read more »

  OK but unbalanced film idea slightly miscast
  
  It is an interesting idea of a rom com about a break up.
  
  It is difficult to see how Vince Vaughn's character and Jennifer Anniston hit it off in ... read more »
