As he tries to forget her, his battling inner voices come to life and cloud his mind with conflicting desires.

Sensing time is short, Dave embarks on a sincere and sometimes fumbled personal journey to conquer his fear of commitment.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The lead actors were wonderful but the supporting cast stole the show. Erick Avari as the brainy decision maker in Dave's mind, that doesn't work out to well most of the time, Maggie Wheeler as Dave's therapist, you remember her from friends. Vivica A. Fox and Ary Katz have the best LMFAO scenes in this. During the Q & A Nathan Ives did give a shout out to Herman's Head clearly the inner dialogue of our two lead characters was inspired by this 90's sitcom. This movie is definitely worth seeing especially if you need to laugh about your own f***ed up relationship bulls**t. Lots of great one liners that I would love to tell you about but that would be a spoiler. You will love Carrie's nightmarish re-entry into the dating scene. Go see it.

A smart and funny film about relationships. Unique way of using the "voices" in your head/self-conscious help tell a story. Thoroughly enjoyable, fun and something we can all relate to. The cast is amazing with excellent work from Ross McCall and Joelle Carter. Screenwriter and director Nathan Ives does an excellent job bringing the thought process of what you go through in a relationship to life. This is definitely not a chick-flick! It appeals to both males and females. The story telling through the different parts of your mind is smart and brings it more to life. It's funny when it needs to be and sincere when it needs to be. Definitely a film to watch over and over.

Loved this subtle, well-acted indie film for taking on commitment phobia without making slapstick of it. Both of the lead characters are followed around by the embodiment of conflicting voices in their head -- a great technique for illustrating the conflicting responses all of us have to people and relationships.Film maker and director Nathan Ives admits that the story idea is autobiographical, probably explaining the depth in which the angst of "should I or shouldn't I?" is explored.I thought of it as a little on the "chick flick" side, but the middle-aged man I saw it with thought it gave real dimension to a male point of view.

This smallish movie uses a device that we saw in 1991's Herman's Head. The internal workings of each of the two leads are represented by five characters representing lust and anxiety and the inner child and so on. It is an effective device - and very funny at times - and it is used well in this entertaining comedy which is actually an intelligent romcom.I think most viewers will be able to relate to the inner turmoil, Ross McCall and Joelle Carter are great as the protagonists and all the supporting cast is very good. Maggie Wheeler (you will remember her as the annoying Janice from Friends) plays a sensible counsellor, and in fact everyone is realistic and believable.Nathan Ives has written a thoughtful and funny script which is not particularly predictable and has a commendable ring of truth to the events (aside from the wacky goings-on inside the heads of McCall and Carter's characters of course) This is a thoroughly enjoyable movie with high budget production values and acting in what I assume is a low to medium budget movie.
