This is a very matured film written, directed and acted properly as it should be. Very enjoyable, allowing lot of people who have once attended the college, graduated, melted into the real world of the livelihood. "Any place you cannot leave is a prison", that's a very profound way to look at life at different period. This film provided you with a well thought through scenario what an adult would face and has to deal with. The age of innocence before the age of reality, care-free 4 years of college, then the cruelty of becoming an adult. This is a very good and subtle film that would allow people like us to have the opportunity of a nostalgic retrospection, looking back where you were once there, and to willingly accept where you are now in life. Growing up and growing old is not a poetically beautified process but a pre-destined necessity.

There are only a few movies out there which have a good moral to it, well this is a movie which comes under that. The movie is about a adult who thinks that only his college days had something meant to it, not his adulthood life. This movie has everything from romance to comedy to drama. I really liked this movie from all aspects, from the moral to the decisions Jesse makes in this movie. In all, it was a great movie to watch.

Great movie, it's a simple story, but aren't those usually the best. I totally got and dig Josh Radnor's philosophy presented here. It's so relatable. Best line in the entire movie is when one guy tells the other "none of us feels like an adult, it's the world's dirty little secret...". It's about being disappointed about where you are in life compared to one's youthful expectations, when one is still at college having this romantic, naive and somewhat illusional perception of life, what it is, what it could become and then as the movie is about to end, coming to terms with where one is right now and embracing it. I loved the scenes where the main character listens to classical music with headphones on his ears, walking down the streets of New York. Finally a fresh use of the New York scenery. Do see it, because it's a gem between so many mediocre movies that get made these days.

I've got a very strange feeling about it. It's ... Somehow I just cannot write it down with exact words. So pure the love is. And so vulnerable it is as well. For the enthusiasm for classical literature and music, they fall in love;and they finally broke up for it. Well, it seems they just hold different opinion about Vampire books and sex, but that traces back to the traditional view of things. Dream is dream after all. It gave me a nice dream and broke it in the end, without a single warning. All of that happened so fast and in one blink they suddenly broke up and the movie ended. I just cannot stand this. For the nice dream, it's "7", but for the cruel ending, I'd cut it a little bit.
