I don't know about any of you guys but in my opinion this movie was bang on in terms of the ups, and mainly downs of a relationship.
I could completely relate to most of the disputes, situations and emotions they both went through. I definitely know how rubbish Gary felt in the scene where Brooke was crying.
The writers were absolutely on the money with the script here.
I remember I saw this in theaters when I was living w my first boyfriend. I think we were about to break up so we had been fighting quite a bit. When I saw this movie I couldn't wait to get out of there. Don't get me wrong, I like the movie - but after fighting constantly, watching fictional people fight was really annoying.
Worst ex boyfriend I ever had.
I agree.This movie is amazing and JA totally rocked her character,especially the crying scene.Heartbreaking.And Vince in the scene where he prepares dinner and she tells him she's not there anymore,heartbreaking as well.Both rocked.
shareI love the part when she was at te concert, although surrounded by 2000 ppl she felt all alone. It was pretty sad.
share^^ Watching that part again this weekend made me really appreciate this film for the first time. Not much has changed in my life since the first time I saw the film, yet somehow I feel like I can identify with it better, now.

Yes, it was. I could relate to it all the time. Especially the scene where she's crying and saying how she cooked for him, picked up his *beep* from all over the house, how she planned the dinners etc...And all she wanted was appreciation and he was just taking her for granted. And he says why didn't you just tell me so. It's just that it's right their in front of their eyes, and they miss the best, while they focus on being so self centered. I do it all the time. I clean the house, cook all the time, look after everything, plan the movies, plan the dinners...And I'm taken for granted and I cry a lot alone in the room because of this. Because I want to be appreciated and I am not. And I feel like walking away...Looking for something new. Someone who will appreciate all these small and big things I do. I see the drinking buddies a lot in my real life. Such guys can break your confidence and break your arrogance. Finally, you get so drained out that you have nothing left to give, and you just want to go and do something for yourself. Spot on in the movie.

Thank you for addressing the response. I know what your friend means about the 'stuck' part. Sometimes it could be due to other serious reasons. I'm as depressed as her. See, the depression doesn't come from hating the person. I guess the hatred creeps in when you keep trying and trying. And nothing is ever appreciated. But all they ever do, is go about doing their own stuff like with their drinking sessions with friends. I have thought about the money part. It's not about the money. I have the earned the highest figures during these years and I am generous when I have a lot of money. I have earlier had relationships with someone (who I was not with for the money), but where the condition was such that we had enough money during the time we were together. And money could not buy my happiness. That guy was a total psycho. I need to do a lot more things for myself now.
shareAhh you have no idea of other peoples circumstances . .
shareI literally try to watch this movie with my husband (it's one of my favs ) but between his gaming addiction I can never get him to although we played pictonary the other night and I played the charades/game night scene to him off YouTube and said "this is you" he thought it was hilarious and agreed
