Hallie (Emma Roberts) and Owen (Michael Angarano) are a couple in L.A. Their best friends Willa (Dree Hemingway) and Matt (Patrick Gibson) get together and start dating. The four twentysomethings have different levels of commitment expectations which causes simmering conflicts.
It starts like a fluffy cute relationship indie. It tries to be 'real' with their relationships. It has potential but it does not elevate the drama. I wish that Willa would actually cheat on Matt and Hallie is forced to hide the secret. It needs something to heighten the drama. The characters are set for something but the plot is holding back. The story is being too 'real' where the couple are struggling due to nothing more than themselves. It leaves with a flat ending that does not wrap up or break apart.

trying to be 'real'
Really enjoyed it
Was far better than expected and a more real look at relationships. Good cast for an independent film. Was crying out that they were both better suited for the other couple and would have preferred that to the actual ending but you can't have it all. For a low budget indie film a lot better than many have made out.
Better than a lot of the ratings
Yes it's maybe not as shiny and sparkly as how relationships are normally portrayed but it's just as good maybe s bit refreshing. The music is really excellent though.
