Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

iulya_mihet Coming from Europe, I always expect big budget American movies to be authentic and original and they never are (even the best ones, that are critically acclaimed). So I was really pleasantly surprised by this indie movie, as it finally presents a slice of American life in an authentic and tragicomic manner. The movie has 3 main themes: the struggle of wannabe writers/actors in LA; the struggle to find love or simply somebody to chase loneliness away and the hope attached to starting anew (the events are all taking place during New Years Eve).The movie is filmed in black and white, maybe with the intention to recreate the atmosphere of the Golden Era movies (there are some references to their faded glory along the way). I liked how the movie managed to combine meditations on love and romantic relationships with bits of ordinary life. Also, how the story line was not lacking funny moments, excitement or sadness. I wished sometimes that some scenes were cut short, as the pace was a bit slow, but that is a minor criticism. This movie is a nice reminder that life is not what we see in big budget movies, but it's what me and you live every day, and that is wonderful and full of emotion.

bebebets It had me at hello. I really liked this movie. The female lead was outstanding. She was so talented, had many layers of complexity and acted the part so well. She really drove the story. The male lead was believable. He's just brilliant, the way he effortlessly plays this geeky sort of loner guy who just doesn't want to be alone on New Years Eve. His transformation is believable and you're just rooting for him the whole way through. The best friend reminds me of a young John Cusack. His proposal was so touching, even though his girlfriend didn't deserve it. The story line was simply perfection. It kept me enthralled. It was just a really good movie, in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this.

adi_2002 Wilson, a man almost thirty years is alone on the night of the New Year. He has fantasies with Min, girlfriend of Jacob. It recommended that he put an ad on a popular dating site and is contacted by Vivian, a rebellious girl, strict and that seems to want to do everything in a very big hurry. After they met between the two occur events which reveals that they could match but not before he take her out to dinner in a fancy restaurant and being put in a position to talk to her former boyfriend from witch receives threats and so he have to rush to help her go home to recover some things before Jack comes and gives them fire. Did this for then to go to the party where his friend Jacob will propose marriage to Min. Things take a strange turn when she jumps on him to kiss but he then rejects her. He tells Vivian what happened but it does not upset because both understand the situation and what they wanted exactly happens will not be alone New Year's Eve and eventually Wilson finds what he wanted, the most desired midnight kiss. Although the action takes place in December, in the winter, I have not seen even a snowflake not an inch of snow on the streets and do not know why it was filmed in black and white. Maybe it was hiding the fact that the outside was another season? Anyway a good movie about love differently than others seen so far from where we can learn something because it can happen in real life.

enoughtoil This movie grows on you, so I recommend that you give it a chance. You may well find yourself initially annoyed by the main characters, but after a while they become sympathetic and even, in their own way, heroic. The main female character especially has more depth and insight than you might credit her with having on your first impression. The dialogue is good, as is the acting, and the plot turns are surprising. The scene that takes place in an old movie theater reveals the beauty of a bygone era. The couple in the supporting role bring their own complications and thereby add to the drama and fun. Altogether, an engaging movie.
