quite truthful in general but from a male view

I got the feeling this movie wanted to be very truthful, maybe even from someones personal experience? But I got so irritated by the "she only cums with me" talk! As if she would ever say so about when he was with someone? For some reason I feel as if they choosed an old guy so he would be less of a threat. And the girl that he meets at the bar, she is portrait as if she doesnt have any other emotions than flirting? The movie should be real, but as soon he tells about why he has his cloud over his head she leaves. Doesnt feel very real or at least abit boringly written.. and the ex-wife, did they change actor when he met her? (Sorry but it kept me being distracted, dont know if they did). The ending feels like a rip-off of eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (which is absolutely beautiful in that movie!). Also morally boring that "i only want to be with you" is like the most romantic ending to this movie. Not sure what would be the best but it could've had another, less conventional ending. Beautifully cut though! And plus for the honest try to talk about relationships today really. Definitely worth to see even tough my abit harsch critic, it raises questions!
