Never heard of this movie (title is a twist on a quote by Irene Dunne) but thought it could be an interesting offbeat indie. Wrong! There's too many reasons to avoid it, I listed the most obvious ones.
Plot. What plot? Oh wait struggling actress (Jules) who can't figure out who she wants to date or anything else in her life. There's no sense or purpose in this storytelling. Jules is clueless and aimless at 25. Really? Which leads me to the next big issue.
Casting. Judging by the acting there seems to be a severe lack of talent, chemistry or both. Everyone looks older than their characters' ages. So the emotional immaturity of the characters conflicts with their appearance. Plus the mashup of characters don't mesh. Maybe it's the writing?
Dialogue. The awkward conversations and interaction between characters in every scene is cringe-worthy. Who talks like that? Example: scenes of Jules' first date with her director (whom she just met that day). If a guy spoke to me like that I'd walk out not "fall in love". It's not just poorly written or acted it's just plain bad!
Directing. It's Brian's debut so he's a bit "green" but I can't help wonder why he chose THIS project. I looked to me like everyone was just winging it. Amateur hour at best. And the reasons go on from there...
One last point, it was very difficult to believe Jules gets hit on by every guy she meets (even if they were all losers). More comedic than realistic.
You've been warned. Watch at your own peril. My rating is actual zero stars.
