This grueling, training-wheel romance comedy covers a six year stretch of time in which Generation Y boy toy Oliver Martin (Ashton Kutcher) slowly realizes that he can’t wait for his life plans to gel before committing to his affection for his narcissist girl pal Emily (Amanda Peet).
British director Nigel Cole (“Calendar Girls”) toils with newbie screenwriter Colin Patrick Lynch’s script like he’s trying to fit a pound of cheese into a six-ounce container.
There can only be one explanation as to why Ashton Kutcher’s character is an online diaper salesman in the movie.
If real life romance were this abysmal then there would be no Valentine’s Day.
Rated PG-13. 107 mins.
