john32935 This is another "small" movie that does what Hollywood movies used to do, that is make us care about the characters on screen.This bright, dialog-driven character study of a male reeling from his brother's death, his best gal pal, and her sister (recovering from a recently ended long-term relationship) leads us up to and through the one-night stand that changes all of their lives forever.The freshness and realness of these characters are brought to life through a mostly-improvised script, excellent acting of the three leads (Emily Blunt keeps getting better), and the direction of Lynn Shelton. A film well worth watching.

SnoopyStyle Jack (Mark Duplass) is a drunken mess after the death of his brother. Her friend Iris (Emily Blunt) sends him to her father's cottage to be by himself. It turns out that Iris's sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt) is also staying there after her recent lesbian break-up. They have some brief drunken sex. The next morning, Iris arrives. Jack wants to keep the sex a secret. Iris confesses to Hannah that she's in love with Jack and Hannah decides to keep the sex a secret also. Iris reveals that Hannah wants a baby and Jack starts thinking about the night of sex. It's an interesting 3 person play. Sometimes it's funny. The acting is well done although Mark Duplass should stop doing the slovenly slob character. He even talks about his swoopy haircut. DeWitt and Blunt are the best and I would love them in their own movie. There is a naturalness to their sisterhood.

sesht Love Rosemarie DeWitt. Love Emily Blunt. They're the sisters.The plot's nothing home to write about, its all about the interactions, the characterization and the acting - Emily Blunt has a good friend, played by Mark Duplass, basically a kinda jerk, who's going thru 'issues'. She allows him to stay at their family's log cabin, where he assumes he will be alone. But, the sister, Blunt's character's that is, is also there. Hijinks ensue? :-). Maybe. However, she's gay. Within a coupla days, Blunt lands. That's it.All my sarcasm apart, I loved watching the characters interact, in spite of the fact that this is mumblecore kingdom, and nothing much really happens. However, this one skirts the boundary that separates this one from made-for-Lifetime-TV fare, and does that with a flourish. I'm sure it has as much to do with the quality of acting on display as well. Blunt and Dewitt are (if they're not, they should be) every man's (wet0 dream, and putting them in the same movie, in roles that are as meaty as anything can get, is a stroke of genius. Duplass plays the perfect foil for both, and it helps that he's not all painted in white. Each character has shades of grey, that makes us dread about all the hurt that's gonna be going' around, and we want all of these characters to come out happy in the end, and that's pure, dumb naiveté. There are some who'll feel that this plot should have had more meat, but I was OK with what it was about. It's also a good addition to Lynn Shelton's filmography, which includes Humpday (Mark Duplass again) and Touchy Feely (DeWitt again).Perhaps there's no need to catch this one at the multiplex (And I'd argue against that, since the cinematography's right up there - the movie looks and sounds real good), but I'd definitely recommend one viewing.

ron-fernandez-pittsburgh This is not the worst indie movie made, but comes close. Story doesn't seem real and the actors trying to act NATURAL with over lapping dialog seems contrived and too artificial. Movies are always better with a written script and actors who don't pretend to be REAL. There's nothing more nauseating than this type of phony acting. The end of the film leaves on 'up in the air' which another drawback. Skip this one and stick to a main stream film. Forget these stupid indies that try to be real and look artificial instead. Better luck next time with these actors, especially Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt. The guy was terrible and should look into a job as a waiter. It didn't help that his character was dumb as could be. And what's with his wrecking his bike? Looks like more stupid improv.
