Depressingly funny
The film was enjoyable from start to finish

Romcom for nihilists
If like me you bought the German DVD, note there are some title cards in the movie in German but they're not that important (I google translated them), but otherwise no problems with the disc. Hopefully it'll get a UK release soon.As for the film, I absolutely loved it. It's basically two people complaining to and about each other for 80 minutes so if you prefer your romcoms starring Kate Hudson and a smiley pop soundtrack, you'll absolutely hate this. It's the antidote to the usual Hollywood guff and while in some ways it does follow a formula (two people hate each other at first but realise they have a lot in common) it earns its pathos. Keanu can do deadpan comedy like the best of them and Winona Ryder's eyerolling reactions make for a perfect double act.I literally laughed until tears were streaming down my face at several points, ie. the mountain lion sequence. Anyone who's been in a relationship will get a kick out of the little details as Keanu and Winona slowly bond, like how they simultaneously argue and arrange a blanket to cover both their legs whilst watching TV. It's a little gem of a movie that didn't really get a wide release anywhere so I recommend you get hold of a copy.

Brilliant if you like two-person movies
One of the best films I have ever seen since the 'Before' trilogy. I love films that are based on dialogues between two people and it was a well-written, witty film with, of course, an obvious ending but who cares. Full of cynicism and wit. I absolutely loved it.

I will never be turned on again
Iโm writing this review while watching the movie. Thatโs how bored I am. Iโve loved Keanu Reeves for a long time, but I think Iโve never found him unsexy as I do during this.The film is just Keanu and Winona talking. Talking at each other. Talking over each other. Endlessly talking. Keanu must have got the script and wondered how he was supposed to memorise all these incomprehensible lines. Thereโs no other interaction with any other characters. Just the two of them. Talking. Youโve got a huge (!) segment talking about Frankโs (Keanu) penis, which is baletically formed. I kid you not:Lindsay: Would you like to know about you?Frank: No.Lindsay: Yes you would. You're very handsome... And you have a beautiful penis.Frank: I do?Lindsay: Oh come on Frank. Surely people have told you that your entire life.Frank: No.Lindsay: Well it's very nice. It's straight, and you would not believe how epidemic a problem that is. Also it's baletically formed. It's not so big as to ever be a concern, but it's big enough never to be the object of ridicule or scorn. You're in a very sweet spot there.Frank: Are you saying that Keith's penis is not straight?Lindsay: Can you imagine that we would have gone this entire weekend without saying these things to each other?Frank: Balletically formed?Lindsay: That's rightThereโs one of the most unsexy love scenes that Iโve ever seen. They talk constantly during this act of love making, which seems shoehorned into the storyline as thereโs no chemistry during Winona and Keanu. And that tie - take it off. If I was to subject a boyfriend to watching this, I feel we would be both so turned off after watching this scene that we would never touch each other again. I was dry afterwards. I feel I will never feel turned on again.What was with the constant unable-ness to open anything? Thereโs a consistent struggle to open packets of peanuts, chocolate, bottles of wine, car doors and an ongoing discussion about whether an animal they stumbled upon was a mountain lion/puma/raccoon (I joke.)Iโm glad I only paid ยฃ3 for this dvd, as I would have resented paying anything more than that. It didnโt hold my attention and I would not recommend it. I donโt even thinking drinking alcohol would help make this film more enjoyable.

5 stars from me, Marmite for others
I guess it depends on what kind of person you are. If you have a brain, a sense of humour and believe in love, this is the film for you. If you lack any of these, go see a superhero film or watch people blow up stuff.

Unusual
I've enjoyed films with both Keaunu Reeves and Wynona Ryder so I thought I would watch this one. And the blurb tells us the wedding is in a beautiful rural location. The film starts in an airport. Grim. Continues in a plane. Grim. Then outside the destination airport then the hotel where these two guests at the wedding are staying So it takes some considerable time before we see the lovey countryside.......And then I realised this film is a two hander No-one else speaks. So it goes on for a few days then they go back to where they came from.

Twas ok....just.
I can see what it was trying to do. There were some very clever scenes and others far too wordy. Some of the dialogue was clever, some was trying too hard to be clever....and failed. Winona seemed to get into her stride from the start and it was interesting to see KR doing something different reasonably well. I laughed once. I fast forwarded a bit in the middle. It was ok.....just.

With out no subtitles.
I love my films, I have enjoyed watching the film and funny humour. The only thing was for me is no subtitles. All my films I have subtitles, sadly nearly 3 year ago. l had a stroke and my speech is much better now but l donโt always register some of lines of the film without subtitles..
