I Want You Back

🤣

A tedious and uninspired rom-com. Charlie Day's natural charm & comedic timing elevates this pointless film. Unfortunately Jenny Slate ruins the whole thing with her irritating, scratchy yuck voice. Given her limited acting ability, Slate is better suited for one-note small roles, as she can only be enjoyed in small doses. Aesthetically challenged, she is simply not suited to play lead roles. Maybe she should consider working behind the scenes. Skip this one. Trust me.

...just because they're chick flicks. Love Charlie Day and so I thought this was worth a watch; I'm halfway in and wow, just nails-on-a-chalkboard bad. I will watch the rest because I don't think anyone should write a review without doing so, and I'll edit this if necessary. I am so sad because I now have no confidence whatsoever in IMDB ratings and reviews. No way the average watcher gives this tripe anything over a six!

Romcom with gentle feelings and beautifully written.. now I don't mean super romantic, nor super funny. It's beauty is in the touching characters, all of whom are human and just trying to do their best. Also, it is unpredictable in its delivery.. you really have no more idea who will end up together than the characters do. Only predictable bit is climax where they all meet back up together at the end. The writing is also quite gentle, thoughtful, but not soppy. I'm 50 yr old guy, and think this would appeal to both men and women. Watch this if you want a nice film to see with your partner or just a Sunday afternoon film which will keep you watching. Not something for the background, at start seemed a little confusing/complicated, but overall a satisfying film. Well done to the team who made it.
