Review:

A very weird romantic comedy which features Adrien Brody playing the same character he practically plays in every movie, Mark Ruffalo playing practically the same character he plays in most of his movies & Rachel Weisz playing the same character she plays in about half of her movies. Robbie Coltrane was great in his supporting role. The plot & story were fun, easy enough to follow. Had some good laughs, maybe tried slightly too hard to be serious when it didn't work. Rinko Kikuchi had almost zero lines yet had some of the best parts in the movie. It was an entertaining watch. Maybe a little too quirky for some people's tastes but none the less still a decent movie to watch.
