Details

Captures a generational moment - young people on the cusp of truly growing up, tiring of their reflexive cynicism, each in their own ways struggling to connect and define what it means to love and be loved. Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who's having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam's life revolves around his friends — Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam's eye.

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Ole Sandbaek Joergensen Josh Radnor is a lot like his character in HIMYM I think, I mean he seems to love New York as his setting, he likes the arts, Music, Imagery, Lighting and Emotions. All of his passions (or what I think is his passions), seem to blend great into this film and really make a nice and sweet film, maybe a bit of a strange film and plot, but the storytelling really works and I was entertained.This is a easy passed comedy, maybe even a Romantic Comedy, but with more Comedy then Romance. It has a handful of different locations, but centers New York and is kind of rough in its expression, but very likable and witty and charming.I enjoyed this very very much, it is a simple tale, a good story, realistic characters and just fun in many ways.
SnoopyStyle Sam Wexler (Josh Radnor) is a story writer living in NYC. One day on the subway, he finds little Rasheen who lost his foster mom. He's not eager to go back and Sam is in a rush to a job interview. Then he takes him to his friend Annie (Malin Akerman)'s party. Annie is suffering from alopecia and hounded by an annoying co-worker Sam #2 (Tony Hale). Her sometimes mantra is "Thank You! More Please." Friend Mary Catherine (Zoe Kazan) is also at the party whose boyfriend Charlie (Pablo Schreiber) wants to move to L.A. for a job opportunity but she doesn't. Sam #1 is infatuated with waitress Mississippi (Kate Mara).I want to like this more. The characters are indie-quirky and likable enough. However, a couple of little things keep bothering me about this movie. First the truly minor thing is that the kid should be cuter. Don't get me wrong. The kid is cute but he really should be cuter. Second, I kept thinking that this is kidnapping. The movie would work fine if he just kept the kid overnight. The longer he stayed, the more unreal the movie became. It got to be so ridiculous that the other characters are annoyed at him. Finally, the characters need more connections. They don't work together and they aren't roommates. The stories just feel a little bit separated. It would be better for them to be connected and therefore have more easy meetings together. Overall, there are some funny moments and some nice indie moments. I'm just bothered by the unintentional kidnapping.
Metalloki This will be my first review on IMDb. And I thought that I owed it to Josh Radnor and the team that brought this film to us, that I tip my hat in appreciation of their efforts.I, like probably everyone else was first introduced to Josh Radnor like such "Have you met Ted?". I'd seen that he would be directing a film, and was intrigued to see what the outcome was. I read nothing more on the subject, wanting to have as little preconception as possible.Then the time came and my heart sank. I am not a fan of large ensemble casts, and the telling of multiple stories at the same time. Perhaps I'm too simple.I often find it difficult to relate to so many characters. Developing each respective character and their story is a fine balance. I usually get left feeling "Why didn't we see more of this/them, instead of those/that?". If I find one or more of the characters boring, I just turn off during their scenes. Or the casting can be off, and I wish one actor or actress had played a different role in the film. Obviously this is all personal. But ultimately I feel unsatisfied. That the concept could've been better "if"…But I do appreciate it when it's done well. And bravo Mr Radnor, et al, this is very well done. All the players fit their roles. Everyone seemed so comfortable which came across on screen. Not one character or relationship was over/under cooked. I was able to relate and empathise with every situation in some way or another which ultimately got me invested in the outcome.When you read the story line your thoughts may jump to Love Actually, New Year's Eve or similar. These are the films that have previously left me unfulfilled. They may have good moments, but on the whole feel very contrived. But with Happythankyoumoreplease each scene felt natural, as if I were watching a moment of a real life.I can happily say that this genuinely surprised me. A real diamond of a find.Worthy of so much more acclaim than it has received. And deserving of so much more success than it has gained.
GrowinBiz Starring a plank of wood named Josh Radnor, who is capable of two expressions throughout the film, bewilderment and... (ok, just one, but he pouts his lips a lot), this film made wonder if the title wasn't better suited for an adult film. A movie with an incredulous, perhaps creepy storyline, it promotes kidnapping as a legitimate form of adoption and coercion as a legitimate form of dating. Akerman comes off like a Hollywood tour director with her unnaturally happy portrayal of Annie, and her new beau "Sam #2" played by Tony Hale scares the poop out of you, though he's really supposed to be heart-warming. Perhaps the only two bright spots of the film are Kate Mara's charm and the occasional lines of dialogue that are actually good. Unfortunately, by the end of the film I was just happy it had ended, even if the ending was like a TV show that had been cancelled well before the end of the season. So maybe I get the "happy" part of the title, as in "Happyitsover", but the rest should read, "NOthankyouIwantedmoreplease".
