Can two serial cheaters get a second chance at love? After a one-night stand in college, New Yorkers Gainey (Alison Brie) and Jake (Jason Sudeikis) meet by chance twelve years later and discover they each have the same problem: because of their monogamy-challenged ways, neither can maintain a relationship. Determined to stay friends despite their mutual attraction, they make a pact to keep it platonic, a deal that proves easier said than done. (Madman Entertainment)

One of the best chill-out movies about (non-)relationships, with characters you’re rooting for though they have more flaws than positive traits. The New York setting is ideal, as this is how it works in big cities – you can have loads of sex, but a nice, stable relationship is out of reach. A likable, natural duo with honest and fitting dialogue that doesn’t pull any punches.

Nice! It's almost hard to believe, but this is an American movie, moreover, it's a romantic comedy, and it's still good. Actually, it's very good. Jason Sudeikis is once again in a role where he's good after a long time. More good comedic actors should be getting such roles to show that they can act. The chemistry here works perfectly for me, and it doesn't even bother me that there isn't much explicit eroticism.
