Being friends after the break-up works up fine up until the point where Jesse finds out that he's having a baby with his one-night-stand and Celeste looses her chill over the news. As it turns out, it's not so easy to still be friends with your ex when they decide to move ahead with their lives.
Why I Liked It:
It's a good, different movie. It's a romantic comedy but it doesn't evolve the usual way and the happily-ever-after comes with a twist. Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg are great for their roles, they look adorable, and quirky, and lovable, and annoying, just like their characters. The film has life in it, the story is good and all the performances are a top-notch one's. The movies is slightly on the indi side of the spectrum, so that makes it even better. Plus, it's available on Netflix, so stream on!
Grade: 8/10
