Pegadinha:

Towards the end of the movie we find out that Justin Bartha's character, Ace, bought his house from his parents to avoid having to pay the inheritance tax when they pass away. The Federal inheritance tax during the year this movie was released was on inheritances starting at $2 million. There are state inheritance taxes as well, but Maryland, where this movie is supposed to take place, exempts direct descendants of those receiving the inheritance from the tax.

Goofs:

Continuidade: When Tripp is tied up in the chair the camera cuts to a shot of his feet turning him to his right and putting the stairs in the background directly behind him. Then the camera cuts to a head shot of Tripp and the stairs are on his left, then cut back to feet and stairs are directly behind him as he taps his right foot.

Citações:

[first lines]
Melissa: I just feel really close to you.
Tripp: You are really close to me.

No, this won't win any major awards or impress the art world's elite, but it is a funny, delightful diversion on a date night. My husband and I laughed all the way through it - as did the entire theater. I go to movies for a diversion from reality and this met the bill. If you don't expect deep meaningful, life altering messages or commentaries on the deep ills of society you will enjoy the movie.

The performances by the supporting cast were delightful and the best of the movie - especially Kathy Bates and Zooey Deschanel. While the chemistry between the leads was lacking spark, their performances were still fun to watch.

The critics need to relax a little and not expect searing dramatic performances from romantic chic flicks!
