I can understand the confusing reviews probably come from a mindset of expectation from the movie, considering Iliza was in it. Although many including myself may have looked forward to a goofy, lighthearted laugh, I have to say the story had an abstract depth to it from a psychological point of view. In some ways it touched on some serious issues some of us deal with in relationships, not realizing the overtness in agendas of partners in them. In some ways also, the elephant in the room was addressed. Full marks for that. That said, I'm not sure if the director even realized the power of the script. I felt as a movie, this was all over the place because it touched on so many different societal issues. Maybe the focus could have been on narcissism and how to deal with the trauma it brings to those who don't realize it. Maybe this could have just been one of Iliza's (love her to bits) stand up episodes, I don't know. Watch it if you're able to switch your expectations. It's a good one with a very important message. Don't watch it if you're expecting tears from guffaws. This is a strange one. I liked it though.

So this was advertised as a romantic comedy, but it's not really that. It's about fake personality, something that's a real pain in the ass nowadays, where almost everyone is damaged and has low self-esteem because psychopaths and cunning narcissists get it all, and rub it in. It starts off quite romantically, and gradually the doubts kick in is this guy really what he pretends to be? Then the movie takes a darker turn, and it doesn't recover. You get the bitter truth. The dialogues are quick-witted, acting is good enough to carry the story, there are a lot of small jokes and funny moment that are worthwhile. Don't expect a "happy" ending. This is basically a movie version of "Dirty John" as a comedy. If you like Iliza Shlesinger (I do), go watch it, it's certainly not bad.

I enjoyed this movie so much! I've been here before myself with exes lying to me and faking their parents' illnesses etc. I found myself nodding a lot as I related to so much of it! I thought the main actress was brilliant. She was funny and her acting was really good. Some of the jokes in the movie were a bit awkward so that's why I can't give it a 10. But overall, this was so good and as someone with a short attention span, I didn't get bored at all.
