Just boring. I liked it at the beginning because I thought it was charming and pensive but it's just too pensive. Too slow. Too quiet. It drags out scenes to three times longer than they need to be, and every moment is stiff or empty or awkward. The characters are likeable or at least interesting in theory but flat in execution. It doesn't help that it's supposed to be a romance but doesn't actually have any romantic chemistry or even real romantic scenes aside from one extremely dry and awkward makeout scene. I wouldn't waste my time with this one.

Not terrible, but also not really that enjoyable either. There were some scenes that I was actually enthralled by, but for the most part I felt pretty uninterested.

Amanda Peet is back on the big screen after 10 years, and I'm so here for it. She gave a great performance as well. The rest of the cast is really strong. The story itself is decent, but adds nothing new to the awkward guy falling in love tale. The best moments by far are between Matthew Shear and Amanda Peet; their scenes are a mix of comedic, awkward, and sometimes cringe-inducing. Wasn't really a fan of how it ended it didn't feel like it resolved anything and when it cut to black I felt unfulfilled and wanted more. But nonetheless, it's a solid directorial debut from Matthew Shear.
