    • Quotes

      Jack: Hey, George... How does this relationship nonsense usually work?

      George: Usually, you go on a couple of dates, see if you like each other. Eventually you have sex.

      Jack: Right. I, uh... I sort of skipped the whole dating thing. So what then?

      George: And then, if you're happy with the action, you become boyfriend and girlfriend. It's really fun for, like, three months, and then you realize it's work. Then you dump her. Or not.

      Jack: Okay, let's say not.

      George: You move in together.

      Jack: I did that.

      George: Right. Well... Then you get married. You start your trajectory of acquisitions. Knives, forks, juicer, barbecue. You move to the 'burbs. You buy a house. You pop some kids out. You fight, you cheat, you separate, divorce, you split the shit, and see the kids on weekends. Then you start all over again.

      Jack: It all sounds so promising.

      George: It's just an outline, Jack.

    a different romantic comedy (in a good way)

    This is a sweet movie that i enjoyed watching! When the movie finished I was left smiling and said to myself that I would see it again. It was cute, sweet, smart, funny, and well-filmed. It even made me cry. It is a witty alternative romantic comedy with some added education on cystic fibrosis and helped raise my awareness of this health issue and added depth to the story line. I liked the characters and the cast of characters fit well together - the advertising agency buddies and their banter, the free spirited friend of Jill's, and the rooftop pigeon! The movie is well-acted, well-written and I enjoyed the way it was creatively filmed. The film had a great message about living life to its fullest!
