This is a simple story. Two depressed young people meet and kind of help each other. Both of them are very likeable characters and you root for them. Simple story but extremely well executed. The rhythm of the film, the dialogues, the scenery, the mood, are all excellent and fitting. Great film, worth your time. Congratulations to the director and the actors!

Excellent!
Katharine Emmer Directed
Josh McDermitt and Katharine Emmer star in this emotionally complex drama. It is the depth of the dialogue that raises this film to more than a simple romantic relationship. It could be a play. It works well because Emmer and McDermitt like each other and their interest in the other ignites the viewer's interest. I cared about these two people and that is the mark of a great film.
Great unconventional romantic comedy
I liked the sound of the plot but wasn't sure after watching the trailer whether this movie would be too indie and too drama for my tastes. I was pleasantly surprised that the movie is quite funny throughout while still handling serious subject matter with maturity. It's consistently engaging and was over before I knew it.
As a great consumer of romantic comedies I can always appreciate one that walks to the beat of its own drum and this one definitely does. Mary and Homer aren't looking for love, with each other or anyone, but love happens anyway. It's a beautiful story of two broken, unhappy people who were able to challenge each other to climb their way out of the ruts their lives had become and find something meaningful individually and together.
