A good movie

After I saw the trailer for this movie, I really wanted to see this flick. Indeed, I thought it was hilarious, one of the best trailers I had seen for a very long time. So, I did watch the damned thing and, to be honest, it was not as hilarious as the trailer. You know, with the trailers, it’s always the same, they show you the best bits and while the jokes worked there, there were not that funny when you watch the real thing. Still, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good flick, definitely not. Indeed, even though you can easily feel that it was Gordon-Levitt directing debut, it was still a really solid comedy. Or was it really a comedy actually? That’s the first interesting aspect with this movie, even though it is funny, I can’t say it was actually really a comedy. The second thing I enjoyed is how well written and developed all those characters were. Indeed, especially, Jon , the main character, was quite fascinating with, once again, a really solid performance by Gordon-Levitt. Furthermore, in contrary to 95% of the romantic-comedies, the whole thing was actually grounded in reality and it was just really damned refreshing. Like I mentioned before, you can feel that it was his directing debut and some things didn’t really work like constantly showing the daily routine of the main character. Eventually, it was only repetitive and neither really interesting or entertaining. Still, in spite of it flaws, I really enjoyed this flick, it is a solid directing debut for Joseph Gordon-Levitt and it is definitely worth a look.
