My other problem with this movie is just that in 105 minutes, nothing super revealing happened. It has a collection of drama tropes including "the Pretend Girlfriend", "the Makeover", and "the Race to the Airport". I feel as if I don't know the main characters any better after watching the movie. The movie doesn't go into the guy's love history but it keeps mentioning that he can't forget his first love. It barely mentions what the girl does, other than the fact that she's a college freshman that keeps running off to play with her band. She never mentions any aspirations or hopes. The guy on the other hand has a business and has some ideas about what he wants to do. I think that the guy's monologues are decent because it gives him some personality and makes him wistful. I enjoyed the monologues because I can relate to them.
I did, however, like the cinematic quality of the movie. I felt like it was very clear. The filming gave me a clean, fresh feeling. The filming was enjoyable but I just couldn't stand the lack of plot and development.
Overall, the filming was pretty good, the actors had decent chemistry but the story line was pure crap. Everything would have been perfect if the writers actually sat down and planned before writing out the script.
