I watched the movie, entertained from the beginning to the end. I loved the cinematography, the plot, and decent acting EXCEPT the "relationship" between Alan and Jeannie. Though I thought Jeannie was a bad news because of the fortune telling from one of her friends about Jeannie's relationship is doomed, who knows if that was true, she jumped into conclusions about Johnny (her boyfriend from the beginning) without talking to him AT ALL and even broke up with him, y'all was I wrong. Though we know nothing about Johnny, Alan is the WORSE and here's why. He was so rude, didn't take accountability, sexist, and didn't show no love towards Jeannie- I was trying to see why she kept coming back to him? Had to be his purple eggplant, IT HAD TO BE, even her friend thought that as well after the two "broke up". Alan even thought about "breaking up" with her for a while, so why you keep stringing her along then? I was yelling at him and the girl at my tv and I was like-STAND UP JEANNIE. So after less than a month of "dating", it's been two months later right? She and Alan meet again at a restaurant. She tells him about her adventure at Europe/London (forgot which one it doesn't matter), her being lonely, and even missing him so you wanna know what Alan thought? Nothing because he was SLEEPING during the whole story, fking rude b*tch. So after that, they have s*x again because that's the ONLY thing they know from each other anyways. Two months later AGAIN, they are going on a trip to Hawaii so that means they are "together" again yay (sarcastic). BUT before that happens, Jeannie is packing her things and Johnny is helping her, after that, she finds out that Johnny didn't cheat after all...she looking fking stupid, d*mb a*s. So while Jeannie goes to visit Alan before trip to the vacation, she calls her friend who told the fortune telling, then Alan calls, then he says he loves her...but why though? Because of her vagi*a, may not be a fact, let's be fking honest. She goes back to calling her friend, she finally realizes. So I was confused then realized about her relationship being doomed wasn't with Johnny, it was with Alan. So she stops where she going and was like "fk this" so she is like bye. I was cheering her on, not wanting her to walk back to Alan, I was like "Keep walking girl KEEP WALKING". She finally gets away from Alan, hiding behind that first dude from the very beginning. So I don't know why they added him in the story, we only seen him one time so...I don't care lmao. Anyways, they talk and realize they both didn't like their exes, which Alan is now an ex, movie fades to black, it was the end, and I was clapping and hollering in happiness for my girl, Jeannie. I thought the cliche would be her and Alan finally gonna be together in the end, but I was wrong, what a twist and I love it! I won't watch this again but I had a great time watching it, despite not knowing more about the first dude and Johnny. Lesson: know y'all worth and leave if your lover don't treat you right!

"Even as fictional characters, Jeannie and Alan are devoid of personalities, or singularities to engage us, they're two ordinary people with their very common foibles, Alan's paternalistic, sexist view on woman is excruciatingly dated and exasperating, ergo, you might steadfastly rally behind Jeanine, which leaves Lam's strenuous unpicking of a modern relationship moot. You see, Alan is a chauvinistic pig, Jeannie deserves better, as a result, everything goes against Lam's supposedly it-takes-two-to-tango supposition (she is a silly girl who takes fortune telling as read.)"

read my full review on my blog: cinema omnivore, thanks.

This movie goes through 12 significant nights (not consecutive nights) in a relationship between two characters. The movie offers some insight into the repetion involved in relationship cycles from interest through various tensions to eventual disinterest. There are many cute scenes, but it isn't exactly a life-changing movie.
