I had never actually wanted to see this flick,but due to its surprisingly decent critic and user reviews I finally gave in.And boy do i regret it!Its neffect is more pronounced since I have been watching such quality films lately.
The title says a lot about the basic premise.Peter and Sarah have been going out for 5 and a half years when suddenly Sarah announces that she wants to break up.Peter is heartbroken and shattered to bits.His friend and step brother advices him to go on a vacation,where he ends up meeting Sarah and his new boyfriend(who is a rather annoying character).The film drags on about his stay and is rather predictable with Peter meeting a cute receptionist and Sarah feeling kind of jealous eventually.The film never recovers from such a bad start and continues to be consistently below average.
The characters are our regular characters in such sex comedies.I would rather say a couple of characters will annoy you to bits and will make it harder for you to continue watching this!Acting is almost non existent and the best performances come in the form of small, not-so-important characters who force a smile on your face.There are certainly some funny sequences but it doesn't add up at all!
This film is predictable and never fails to catch the audience by surprise.Even the comedy is not well executed.Its a disaster that you will love to miss!
Rating:1.5/5
