I enjoyed the movie - light and flows well, with good acting (mostly).
I do have an issue with the ending - big one. ... Why must Molly be dating a coworker? Why can't they just be good friends? Why not take this opportunity to break the cliche- and the norm- that any deep 1:1 relationship between male and female coworkers of the same age can only be romantic? Why can't women be portrayed as being absolute professionals who just do their damn work at their job? This not only deflates the movie down to a "rom com", but also negates all the good feminist rhetoric building up to the end. Bad aftertaste.
