Sudeikis and Brie are endlessly charismatic, and Brie's role is also fairly dramatic at parts, allowing her to really show how great she is.
For a movie filled with so much comedic talent, though, there weren't a lot of hilarious moments. The banter between characters was amusing, but I expected a bit more 'com' from this romcom. And I guess that is my biggest complaint. This turned out to be a fairly generic romcom. There were a few moments that seemed to suggest veering off of that safe, paved highway onto an interesting dirt path, but those moments all ended rather quickly, back on the safe banality that is the modern romcom.
