Is it just me, or did no one hear about this movie? Since I’m not in a major release metropolis (San Francisco, New York, Chicago, LA, etc.), I miss a good number of indie movies because they don’t come to theaters here in Denver, or, they’re only there for a week or they only play at a theater way out in the middle of Denver where there’s no parking. But I do not remember hearing about this one AT ALL.

In any case, it’s been on Showtime lately and I watched it one afternoon, procrastinating working on my book. Actually, I caught it midway through, and I had to find it again to watch the beginning (this happens to me a lot on the premium movie channels – sometimes it takes me 2-3 separate viewings to see a movie in its entirety).

In short, totally worth it. Lizzy Caplan is awesome. I guess I must have seen her on New Girl at some point – because she was on it for a couple episodes and I’ve seen them all – but I really only remembered her from Mean Girls where she played Janis Ian and KILLED IT! And the main guy character, Jonathan (Mark Webber), is awesome as well.

This is actually not my first Mark Webber movie, either. I saw him in For a Good Time, Call… just recently, as a matter of fact, and he was brilliant in that, too. He’s not “eye-candy,” per se, but he has a sensitivity and a sense of humor that make him extremely enjoyable to watch.

The movie focuses on Sarah (Caplan), her sister Beth (the unparalleled Alison Brie, whom you may remember from The Five-Year Engagement), and their love lives. Beth is getting married, and Sarah is helping with that while trying to get over her last relationship. As she works through it, she meets Jonathan, who is clearly way better for her than her ex, but it’s a romantic comedy of sorts, so complications ensue.

5-starsThis is not your average romantic comedy. It has a few stereotypical elements to it, but it’s quite obviously an indie film, so those elements allow you to view the film without feeling too annoyed by the stereotypical stuff. I know I’m being vague, it’s on purpose. If you like sweet, romantic, funny indie movies (or Alison Brie because she’s awesome), check it out.

It affects chemicals in the body that are involved in the cause of some types of hurt. There are many medicines which give you things you need to be ready on your own terms. What doctors talk about viagra or cialis? It contains Sildenafil. Also known as erectile disfunction is defined as the impossibility to attain an erection suitable for intercourse. Having erectile disfunction can no doubt complicate dating. Many men take more medicines later in life and some have sexual side effects that will lead to emasculation. Some of medications fuel will. Certain far-famed medicaments can mean screwing with your orgasm. What is the most significant facts you perhaps know know about this?

About the Blog

This is a place to share my love and excessive fandom of film, actors, and television. I gush a lot, and I complain a lot, usually not simultaneously.

I share my take on the latest movies I’ve seen (some new, some new to me, and some classics that are worth a rewatch), and a little promotion here and there for shows or films that I feel deserve a little more attention than they’re getting.

So, kick back, settle in, switch on, tune in, or whatever you have to do and join in on the love for all things that move on-screen.
