Absolutely amazing. Up there with Woody Allen. So funny, but I also kind of felt like crying the whole time.

I like a lot of the actors involved. Some of it was pretty funny. I guess I felt like it could have easily been much better. The use of flashbacks to mix up the narrative felt like a contrived and unnecessary way to try to elevate the movie above being just a quirky romantic comedy. And it was felt a little hard to believe that the main character ever got engaged to his fiane in the first place. Still, though, good cast and some funny moments and an overall nice story. I did like how Paul Rudd's character loses the girl to Michael Showalter's character in this movie, after things went the other way in Wet Hot American Summer. B-
