I liked this movie far more than I should have. The fact that some reviewers were so drawn into the movie that they had to write "reviews" only to express how pathetic of a man "Adam" was, translates into Justin Long doing a wonderful job portraying a character that describes itself as an alien in the movie.I really appreciated how the character "Allison" was just an observed character that wasn't present for most of the movie. You see her in the eyes of Adam and she only actively participates when she talks to him. Cobie Smulders rarely disappoints. I must add that the movie is visually beautiful, evidenced by many scenes throughout the movie, of which I cite the scenes played over the end credits.The movie really did make me feel different emotions, strong emotions; and for that fact, I praise it.

Ryan Eggold of Blacklist and 90210 wrote and directed this romantic dramedy. Unfortunately he could have done with some help. The story isn't good unless maybe it's autobiographical. A man goes to his ex girlfriends wedding to a seemingly better guy in San Francisco. Justin Long is quite watchable as usual. And his too hot for him girlfriend is played by Cobie Smulders. There are some jokes that would be okay if snappier but they tend to drag on too long until they lose their punch. The wedding itself is pretty painful and finally the ending - what's the meaning?One crucial thing they didn't show is how the relationship ended a year and a half ago.The story could have been tightened and the ending could have been more clever.

I enjoyed this movie from start to finish. You are instantly taken into the world of Adam, which is a world of confusion and discomfort mixed with irrational thinking and uncertainty as he finds out that the-one- who-got-away is getting married. It is very hard not to empathize with his character in this very awkward situation. This theme is carried throughout the film as every individual Adam comes in contact with likely expresses the same tone and feeling. Could something like this happen in real life? I'm sure. Does is happen on a daily basis? Positively not. Which is another reason why I enjoyed the film. It's unusual, but could happen. This Romantic Comedy had me laughing at the parts of the movie that deserved a good laugh. And had me feeling very sorry for poor Adam. All in all, 10/10 for me.

In short the movie is about 2 couple who have been in a long relationship in the past who are trying to move on, Allison (Cobie) invites his ex-boyfriend Adam (Justin) to attend her wedding with her new boyfriend (or future husband), things down the line start getting weird as Adam starts to remember the past and the relationship he had with Allison, and by the end of the movie he tries his best to get her back, but ends up screwing it all up for good.*Note: In real life situation you wouldn't dare attend your ex-girls wedding nor would she even invite you, i think it could have been more sensible if it was centered around for example an engagement party of some kind, because that would be your very last chance to turn things around (if you can), not at an actual wedding where everything is already pre-prepared, so i think in that context the film could have taken a different approach, i was happy though on how well Allison (Cobie) and Adam (Justin) acted with their face impression, mimics and essence of the characters.
