Absolutely amazing

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

...I think people are doing just too much when it comes to criticizing this movie.So what if the characters aren't likable? Well I wouldn't say "so what" because character development is important, but I think Fred and Mindy are meant to be "normal," with a quirky, indie twist. And "normally"...people do have one night stands and wind up pregnant, unfortunately. This film is a comedic perspective of real life. And it's kind of a chic, urban adventure. I just love the roaming around New York City this film has, reminds me of...me. And I like seeing it on screen, what the hell. I also like that it's set in a summery time, so it's bright and fun and ironic to how dark this probably could be. I mean I'd punch Fred in real life. He follows Mindy around pretending to like her just to make sure she takes both doses of a morning after pill. And why? Because he's married or in a long-term relationship. It shows two different types of New York lives: Fred is from the intellectual, upper classed part, with a self-centred, jet-setting girlfriend in a big fancy condo or studio apartment it looked like, and Mindy is on a working class budget with a black boyfriend in a small apartment in Brooklyn. Now I have no idea why Mindy wanted to have Fred's child but based on my description it seems she wants his status through his child? I don't know. I think the director just wanted to portray girls who wind up pregnant after one night stands as bonkers and manipulative who try to pass it off as feminism. Maybe it's his version of modern city girls, as the New York backdrop was utilized a lot and very well so perhaps this setting was done intentionally, or convenient considering it's where the director lived... But it was done in a funny way, and it's a comedy! So it worked. Anyway I hated Fred, LOVED the guy playing him. I'm not sure if it was improvising the script or what. But he was funny. Sometimes the script seemed like they were improvising with some direction on where the conversation should go, like very realistic dialogue (stuttering, petty back and forths, laughs, vulgar social commentary), so on that level to film snobs it could've looked amateur acting-wise but pretty good direction wise. But I enjoyed it because it was realistic.The elements were great as I mentioned, the background scenery of New York City, being on the subway-train (a big must in big-city indie films for me), strutting and skipping through big crowds, going to small cafes, convenience stores and pharmacies, apartments with cute and artsy interior decoration (they used the director's apartment for Mindy's apartment), it was all so nice. Their stylish- casual wardrobe. The soundtrack was enjoyable, like atmospheric, bubbly indie music. All these things subtly but hugely make the film, for me. So it's an enjoyable watch. Albeit with flaws. I loved the last scene, I would've done the same thing as Mindy when she saw Fred if not worse.Long story short: the only flaws, for me, was developing Mindy's character. I simply don't understand why she loved Fred so fast and intentionally had his kid but hey girls like this do exist. I also don't like Fred but I think focusing on him as a character too much is unnecessary to critiquing the film as a whole. The things I liked: the setting, Fred's script and the actor playing him, the theme (it's interesting). The pace was good. It's not a boring film at all. If you're into films just to fall in love with the characters/actors and ignore how well a film was put together or not, then this isn't for you. If you can understand the reality of character flaws but appreciate important film elements like plot, script, setting, angles, music, originality yet reality, then this is for you! :D

******* contain some Spoilers *******I normally don't write movie reviews, but this movie is so terrible that I just have to warn others.There are three main characters in this movie: Fred (an extremely dishonest, manipulative and selfish cheater who want's to be seen as a ''good guy'') Mindy (a crazy, manipulative, selfish, borderline and hysterical woman) and Nelly (A cheater who counts condoms). In short: all three of them are ass-holes.Now, Fred and Nelly are in a live-in relationship, and Fred thinks that Nelly treat him as his personal assistant because she keeps asking him for favors. And he, being an selfish ass-hole, dislikes doing favors for her. He also thinks that she is a control-freak, because she asks him not to walk around the apartment with his shoes on. But being the manipulative coward that he is, he doesn't got the guts to have an honest conversation with Nelly about it. Instead, he secretly 'rebels' against Nelly by cheating on her with a lunatic named Mindy. This lunatic tries to con him into a relationship with her by becoming pregnant - although they've just met and don't even know each other! And just as a side note - Mindy says she is a'catholic' and therefore believes in sleeping around with each and everybody without taking an after pill!!! Then she drags him around and introduce him to her crazy family as her 'boyfriend'. And Fred thinks that all this annoying insanity is 'the best day in his life' and he falls in love with this devious creature called Mindy. So, he leaves his 'controlling' girlfriend because the controlling, needy, crazy, devious, manipulative, hysterical, borderline, selfish, phony, hypocritical, shallow, promiscuous and bad- mannered MINDY is so much better!So basically, he left a 'control-freak who doesn't respect him' for another control-freak who doesn't respect him. This is really where this movie became so senseless and annoying that I stopped caring about what's going to happen to these scum-bags. To hell with Fred and Mindy, the two devious frauds who really do deserve each other. And the director Khoury who thinks that being a lunatic is the same as being a ''free-spirit''. Everyone in this movie, including the director, needs serious mental help.In short, don't waste your time on this rotten movie. You would hate to meet devious frauds like Mindy and Fred in real life, so don't waste your time on watching them on a TV-Screen. This is seriously the worst movie ever.

I should have gone with my gut instinct and avoided this movie but Netflix kept rubbing it in my face so here we are. I'm going to give you the short version and the long. The short: it's really bad, don't watch it.Now, for the long version: I'm going to break this up into categories because I'm a neat freak and that is what I do. Characters: He's an arsehole. She's an arsehole. Everyone is an arsehole. The little brother might not be one, he didn't get enough screen time for my arseholery-ometer to give a reading. Oh, and Jim is alright. He's just hurt but I'd say he dodged a bullet! Mindy is presented as some crazy woman, whom you expect to change and with whom you might side in the end, but no, the very last frame and I still think she's unpleasant and rude (not to mention sexually and psychologically manipulative, and if truth be told a rapist but I'll get to that). Fred (terrible name for a character! A very non-name for a very non-person) is just too worried people might think he isn't the nice guy (which he in fact isn't). They're all bad. Plot: Really? Like, really really? If someone started having sex with me whilst I was asleep I'd get the hell out of there and go to the police because that is rape! Sex without consent is rape! Also, ignoring the fact that he wanted to use a condom is unacceptable. This put me off the entire movie! Get it together writers! Cinematography and staging: New York in the summer? Check. Nice but not too posh flats? Check. Montage of the couple laughing and touching? Always having a cab show up at the right time? Running in the middle of the street with complete disregard of personal safety? Check. Check. Check. Really what I want to tell you all is: don't watch this movie. I watched it on Netflix during my free month trial so I didn't pay anything and I still want my money back. I refer you back to my short version: it's really bad, don't watch it.

Cringe-worthy the entire time. He sticks it in the crazy. Well, technically, she rapes him. And refuses to stop to put on a condom. Because, hey, what's more fun that getting pregnant or an STD after a one-night stand? He hangs out with her for an entire day to make sure she takes both pills, but can't tell her this because, oh yeah, she's crazy. She tricks him into going to the apartment she shared with her ex, who is devastated over her breaking up with him (so every time she whines about how she's getting over a long relationship, it's a put-on). She tricks him into meeting her family, in which her father insults him every minute (and yeah, I understood the French dialog). Turns out Fred has a girlfriend. Girlfriend insists they adopt a cat even though he is allergic and their lease won't allow it. She is a witch-with-a-B and kinda crazy too. She cheats on him, too, don't waste your sympathy. He breaks up with her. Finally, a scene where something goes right. Then he runs over to crazy-chick's apartment. A scene in which I lose all hope for this movie. But wait! She wasn't there! He hasn't seen her in 5 weeks. He sees her on the street and charms her phone number out of her. Apparently crazy is contagious.
