Trivia
Director Leslye Headland said that she wrote the sex scene in the script to be incredibly graphic, but she also put a big disclaimer before the scene in bold print that said "You will not see any nudity during this scene" because she didn't want to scare off potential actors. One of the financiers asked her to revise that scene because they were having trouble raising money because of it. But Headland said that the "kind of fucking they do" is really important to the characters. Once Alison Brie and Adam Scott signed on to play those characters, they both told Headland they wanted the roles because of the way the sex scene was written.

Better Than Expected

After paying to watch it I at first regretted not watching the preview as the beginning suggested it just might be too sophomoric and unfunny. But the film actually turned out to be fairly witty and definitely engaging. Yes, it was predictable but the dialogue and scenes were lively enough to make it not matter. To me there was only one major flaw in the movie and that centered on Adam Scott's character of Matthew. First off, he was so unappealing and unattractive, at least to me, that I couldn't understand the attachment of Lainie to him. Why him, and why for so long? Also, to somehow equate Lainie's attachment to Matthew with Jake's philandering really didn't make much sense. But overlooking these discrepancies I was still able to enjoy watching this romantic comedy, just as being able to predict the ending didn't stop me from smiling at it.
