I liked this. Not just because it was a story set in New York (though that didn't hurt). I just really enjoyed it. I chose it purposefully because it starred Zoe Lister Jones, who I fell in love with awhile back after watching "Arranged". I searched out some more movies I could watch on Netflix, and came across this one. I thought the plot was interesting. A couple going through what seems to be a flat period in their long term relationship decide to take charge of their own break up, by a systematic plan. A few days off, some specific rules. I really liked both of the characters, the performances were both subtle and realistic. I think that Zoe Lister Jones is absolutely beautiful and I will watch her in probably anything she does. I was interested to see that she wrote the lyrics to most of the songs used in the film. I was really rooting for these two to work it out, and I won't give anything away, but I will say that I was not unsatsified, though I thought I might be. I liked the music, I thought the script was just so-so, yet I thought the character development was really good. Both Daryl and Zoe were very realistic, flawed 20somethings...I totally bought the story. I will say its not for everyone. Its a bit slow at times, and definitely small budget. I think this could be one of those: either you love it or you hate it kind of movies. I enjoyed it and was not sorry I watched it. I would be interested to see what others think of it.
