Moral of the story

Never lied? What were you watching?

She told everyone that she broke up with Chris when it was the other way around.

She agreed to have dinner with Luke after he called out of work to help her move the entire day with a nasty cut on his hand. Then ditched because she wanted to have a drink with the guys.

I thought she came off as a immature character in this film, who never seems to grow up. She's someone who can be a good friend but would make a terrible girl friend.

Yes, I agree, ludicrous stereotyping by sexually frustrated, socially isolated men. It's an obvious sign when they can't maturely discuss a film about relationships featuring 'real' women, not cardboard cut-outs.

The one thing I found unrealistic, which kind of brought down the whole movie for me, is that it took so long for them to recognize how great they were together. They had phenomenal chemistry, way more than Luke and his girlfriend had. And once they did, that she did not tell him about her feelings for him - and that he didn't either.

I think if he hadn't cut his hand and they had gone out for dinner that night, the issue would have come to the surface and they would confessed their feelings. And maybe even hooked up - the comment "I'll hit the shower" or whatever had clear sexual undertones.

I think the director was showing us how major life directions can turn on even minor events. Like the other guy says earlier in the film that there was somebody who was great for him 15 years earlier, but he couldn't see it. The weird thing is, that is *exactly* what happened with me! Had one of us taken action, things between us would very likely have taken a much different route.

The film kind of saves itself for me by leaving things open-ended - maybe they will get together after all.
