- “What is love? Is it a feeling? A commitment? A live-happily-ever-after pill? I like to think it’s a choice.” – Matthew Taylor (Shemar Moore)
- “Love is the most beautiful thing we can experience in this world.” – Matthew
- “Communicate, associate, empathize.” – Kristin Peralta (Nadine Velazquez)
- ‘People deserve a balanced perspective.” – Matthew Taylor
- “Create the love you want for yourself.” – Matthew
- “Live into your future. Focus on the future.” – Matthew
- I like the idea of an intellectual debate between the two main characters, although the conversations don’t ever go very deep. I liked the discussion about how realistic these “self-help” gurus are or if they just say what we want to hear while they sell millions of “feel-good books.”
- Sheryl Underwood plays herself as a talk show host.
- I’ve liked Rizwan Manji ever since I first saw him in the sitcom “Outsourced” and wish we could see him in more films.
- I like the theme that love is a choice. Choosing to keep a marriage happy is about commitment. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to fall in love with someone is a choice.
- Nadine Velazquez is beautiful, but looks and acts really plastic in this movie. You feel her acting, rather than feel her. I was surprised, because I liked her in the sitcom My Name is Earl: Season 3
- There is a distracting amount of SUPER white teeth and fake body parts.
- Matthew Taylor and Kristin Peralta’s first kiss was painful to watch. No chemistry. Blah.
- Matthew’s ex-wife, played by Denise Boutte, is always super dressed up when she comes to the door. Yeah, like that’s what normal people look like when they’re home doing dishes.
- Bad and choppy editing.
- It’s more rom than com; there are very few things to laugh at.
- Bill Bellamy’s character is so over-the-top that he feels like a cartoon character, especially compared to the other actors who are trying to be more dramatic.
- I had never seen any trailers for this movie before it played in the theater, so I picked it based off the description that Matthew was an author. I’ve gone on book tours with my books, so I thought that aspect of the movie might be interesting and relatable to me. Unfortunately, the movie is more about the drama between Matthew and Kristin.
- Kristin is supposed to be a therapist. Aren’t therapists supposed to listen more than talk? She does an awful lot of talking and bashing, rather than listening.
- I’ve read a lot of movie reviews of this film by people who really liked it, but I left disappointed.
Interesting lines:
- “My book isn’t about grieving, but creating.” – Matthew
- “Just because you have a voice in your head doesn’t make you a psychic.” – Kristin
- Pre-marital sex, talk of teens having sex, and inappropriate jokes.
- There are a lot of skimpy clothes on various women. You see Nadine Velazquez in nothing but her underwear and bra as she climbs all over a shirtless Shemar Moore in bed.
