"I have 100% compatibility with this movie as Zoey would say, who as a coding computer nerd, initially bases love on the strict algorithm of surface level shared interests and mutual likes and dislikes. However, as she and the story evolve, she becomes significantly less rigid, learning that love and attraction are and can be so much more and aren’t nearly as linear as previously thought. Love is more than some obsolete theory, it is abstract, wonderful madness run on passion and ultimately instinct. It surpasses all logic in favor of listening to yourself more deeply.
Zoey comes to learn all this when she pretends to be the girlfriend of a man who suffers from amnesia after hitting his head. Along this journey, she also learns to stay true to her heart and soul and what both are telling her is true. Who someone is can be different then meets the eye and it is only in more intimately getting to know someone that their true colors will inevitably come out!
I lived for Zoey’s love story and the re-getting to know herself aspect of her narrative, along with her true fears around being loved and loving being revealed. She may just be the next on the list to make a spontaneous grand gesture in the name of love á la “Say Anything.” And become the cutest of softies who just, over time, gently embraces life and what it is to be in love. This movie was an interesting, introspective study of the intricate insides of how people connect and relate. "
"Not a bad movie, i was super hyped about it when I first heard this movie was coming out. Especially with the very favorable actors in here. Butttttt it was kind of a let down, the story line was moving way too fast. It had me questioning every character, because they didn’t let us see the deeper side of them. I feel that’s the best way to put it. I understand they only have a “small amount of time” but we have seen time and time again that it’s not impossible. ANYWAYS. not a horrible rom com, but don’t get your hopes up like I did. 5.5/10"
