Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
monesque I can't believe this tanked. Look, here's the trouble with rom-coms. They are SO predictable. Meet cute, have problems, get back together, live happily ever after. They really have to be exceptional to get past that predictable aspect. It's been done to death. I sense a new direction in some modern versions. This is one such. It doesn't hew to old standards of morality and Pollyanna visions of reality. In 1930, it would've been banned. It's a bit vulgar. Standard morality is out the window. And yet, there is also a certain, uncomfortable realism here. Ignore that, though, whether you agree or not. What it is, is fresh, different, and exceptionally funny. The cast sells it all quite well, too.
Troy Putland Some rom-coms can be too formulaic. Not I Give It a Year. Sometimes the lead man is funnier than the lead woman, or vice-versa. This film is chock-full of laughs, mainly stemming from Rafe Spall's stay-at-home, laid back, but often lazy book-writer. Less so for his newly-wed, Rose Byrne, who's an uptight office worker. They clearly don't match, and they obviously have feelings for other people. The gags make IGIAY more than enjoyable, as they're outrageous and often embarrassing. Hats off to the foul- mouthed Minnie Driver who's Bryne's sister, and Stephen Merchant, Rafe Spall's misogynistic best friend. The American love-interest Anna Faris and Simon Baker fair less well, but happen to be involved in two of three best scenes of the film.
dareent-amethyst This movie has failed at an attempt to be an entertaining romantic comedy. It is neither funny or romantic. I saw 'I give it a year' because my friend had told me its good, but I've known after only 10 minutes that its not. Frankly, i find it boring and predictable. The plot is somewhat unoriginal although i don't know where they got the idea from. Its slow paced, the dialogues are uninteresting and too long. The actors aren't believable and they, just like the writers and directors of this movie, seems like they haven't put a decent amount of effort into making this a watchable movie. There's also another thing that bothered me a lot, I'm not sure if its just me, but i hate Rose Byrne and Anna Farris' hair. The hair and makeup team certainly didn't do them any justice. Oh i also hate the use of curse words in this movie. Im not one who doesn't like hearing curse words, in fact i curse a lot, but there were way too much unnecessary use of curse words in this movie. Okay I'm done hating on this movie. Its not awful its just not so good (boring!)
Michelle Harrison I really didn't enjoy this.I couldn't even get through the first 30 minutes without getting so bored I'd rather clean my damn house. (and oh, how I hate cleaning my house) I almost fell asleep even though it was 3 in the afternoon when I was watching.I don't really mind if a movie is not that funny, as long as there's a good story in it. Something fun, or heartwarming would have been nice. Or at least something happening, not just some scenes from the daily grind. But the first 30 minutes didn't give me any reason to believe there was even a story at all, let alone it being a good one.I'm not saying, don't go watch this. I'm just saying if you don't like being bored to death, it would be a waste of your time! ;)
