At first this movie reminded me little of the movie 'Something Real and Good'. Great and natural story. I think lots of people can learn a lot from the way this man and women treat eachother. It's not like the typical lovestory, but something that can really happen.
However all the positive sides of this movie, i do miss something. I became sad of the end of this movie. I really hoped to see how the relationship of the women turned out. If they ever had contact again. What the man wrote on the back of the hotelcard. Great, honest, real and sweet movie.

The movie is brilliant! Among all other movies in the box offices this one is like that rare jewel that glimmer in between of all. The movie leaves you with the feeling that things can be very simple and makes you feel happy. And it's all about us how to choose to speak and react to other people. Chris Evans did gate job - to work on something that it's not all for the fortune and glory, but for love and the simple things. Admiration!

I don't know about the others but this movie made me feel great! Sooo lightweight... Like all the worries were gone... that everything has a reason to be... reminds me of this last when I forgot...Reminded me of the beauty of things... beauty of life... the beauty of life experiences...When we are mature... we don't act up on any minor thing... we control ourselves... this movie depicts maturity... a maturity I love seeing... the maturity that makes a simple human being a major being... that we can get so much dignity and respect out of simple acts... Maturity at times enhances and raises us so much we cant believe the impact! I know I loved this movie and I recommend it to everyone who wants the relive!

Chris Evans shows some silky talent in his directional debut, he stars alongside Alice Eve in a rather enjoyable, if short, tale of two strangers who spend an unplanned night together. After missing her 1:30 train from New York to Boston, Brooke is horrified to learn that she will be spending the night in the Big Apple, but with no money and no place to stay, she knew straight away that this would be a memorable night, what she didn't know was that the complete stranger that approached her at the station would be the guy she'd end up spending it with.Nick is a struggling musician who travels nowhere without his trusty trumpet, seeing a clearly upset albeit strong woman stuck at the train station, he swoops in and takes his chance. Before We Go chronicles the couples quickfire, one night only tale as they travel around New York like a pair of dreamy kids, with no money between them, they sure can find their own forms of entertainment. What I really liked about the film is the lack of sex, in films like these sex is generally the focal point, but not in this one, there was however a strong essence of sexual repression, but that made the story a whole more interesting and watchable. It reminded me of the films from a bygone era, where they could make an enjoyable film without any sex whatsoever.Certainly one of the better independent films I have seen for a while, both acting performances from the two leads were great, they demonstrated credible professional discipline and had wonderful chemistry together. Alice Eve has always been a personal favourite of mine and it was nice to see that Chris Evans can prove himself as a quality actor, and he isn't simply typecast as the over saturated super- dork Captain America.Set in the space of one night, it was refreshing to see a film so well made in such a tight space of time.Not world class by any stretch of the imagination, and in ten years most would've forgotten Before We Go even existed, but for what it is, it's defiantly a quality piece of film-making and all involved particularly Chris Evans and Alice Eve should be commended.
