Near the end Dennis Quaid's character admits that he hasn't had any big epiphanies, and it's unlikely that you will either, be you a smart person who dislikes these characters or a dummy who hates them. Ellen Page plays the mirror universe version of Juno, Thomas Haden Church reprises the loveable loser from Sideways, but with a little more weight on his shoulders, and Sarah Jessica Parker shows us that, without New York, Carrie Bradshaw would have a lot less self-respect. All of these actors are capable of more than the script gives them, especially Quaid, who seems to be taking his character way too seriously. This Romantic Dramedy grabs a few chuckles, but it's more drab than clever, and the love story loses all of its cuteness to forced conflicts, and an abrupt ending. There is a Polaroid slideshow during the credits which attempts to soften it all up, but it's rather pointless.

even though sarah jessica parker and dennis quaid did not really spark - it was a great movie. Worth watching - simple yet deep.

This movie is big on character development. The issues that they face are modern and real. Don't expect any direction, but if you enjoy watching people, this movie is for you.

This movie was very slow, boring and a waste of time. Not a single laugh. The characters were very unlikeable.

This movie was kinda hard to get into. It was pretty slow. The best part of the movie was Ellen Page. She was awesome, the way she delivers her lines is always so funny.
