I absolutely loved it!!! and that is said with all my confidence. This movie is the movie lovers movie and shows all it is worth with movie references, spoofs (The movie as a whole is not a spoof) and a few twists from movies previously made. The show is so mindbreakingly clever and witty that after wards the viewer is left with a very happy feeling that they viewed something worth seeing. The film is hilarious for 1 even 2 views and is SO much better then other crap coming out nowadays. I do not want to tell you the end but it is worth it as there is 2 or 3 twists you will NOT see.Overall a fan of movies will love this and even a person who ONCE a week sits down for a movie will enjoy this cinematic Masterpiece. I rate this film 82%.

Brilliant
Different and really good for a low-budget romantic comedy
This is one of those movies that had the potential to be great and immensely entertaining. It's still a good movie, but it falls short in certain areas. The premise is what drives this movie. It's basically about this guy that is passionate about movies, but that is all he does. He watches movies and relates real life to movies and like a lot of people he gets bored with real life. But than he meets this loose cannon of a girl that always likes to go out and do crazy stuff. So yeah, cool premise. But it just needed something more, and more out of the box scenarios. Something to really bust out of real life and maybe even more scenarios where they put themselves in few movie scenarios. Overall though, this is still a different romance comedy that is really good for a romantic comedy.
7.7/10
Neil is intriqued
Cillian Murphy is Neil, who runs a video store. (remember video stores?) Lucy Liu is Violet, who comes into the shop; she's wacky and treats him like dirt, so of course, he's immediately turned on. They have some weird dates. And he follows her to find out where she lives. Takes a while to get going. Like Clerks. Some funny lines in here. Neil is down to earth, and is content just watching movies, while Violet is always on the go. Her hobby is swimming in neighborhood pools. And playing pranks. Constantly. And of course, some go very wrong. But Neil likes the thrill and shock of what happens next. Even when it turns out badly. Written and directed by Paul Soter. The first film he directed. Murphy currently has another film in production. He also had one that shows "abandoned" in 2016. Wonder what happened... funding problem?
