Can men and women really be friends? Whilst history and experience tells for most people that it is possible it is not however always the case.
This tale, like most such has very ordinary beginnings. A guy meets a girl at a party whom he is attracted to, however she lives with her long term boyfriend. He initially throws away her number, their paths cross again and they stay in touch this time.
He decides to play along the 'friends' part and even seems to be working...somehow.
With the passing of time however their feelings grow and it becomes harder to conceal them yet they try to convince themselves and their common friends that they are just buddies. This cannot go on forever as important life choices ought to be made and if these choices are made on the assumption that they are nothing but friends, it is one thing nonetheless if they are to be more than friends it is quite another.
My favourite bit of this film is the slow built up of the acquaintance, attraction, infatuation. The usual "we fancy one another, jump to bed and then try to figure it out" did not apply to this story and all the better for it.
A rom-com with a heart, and whilst the predictable story elements of such genre were well present its quirky wit and slow development make it a stand out of recent romantic comedies.
