The CinePearl Take
The film’s biggest strength lies in the chemistry between Jones and Samberg, who trade barbs with a sincerity that keeps the audience invested beyond the typical rom‑com formula. Krieger’s direction maintains a breezy pace while allowing quieter moments to breathe, highlighting the lingering intimacy between exes. Though the supporting cast—especially Chris Messina’s earnest best friend—adds texture, the narrative occasionally stumbles when it leans too heavily on indie tropes.
