Although touted as a romantic comedy this film contains more drama than comedy and this is down to the fact that the lead character has depersonalisation.
Anyone expecting the normal Matthew Perry performance (sarcastic, slightly neurotic but likable guy) will be disappointed as here Perry ditches many of these traits to put in a mature and effective performance that makes the audience root for his character Hudson. This may be a different type of character but is no less enjoyable.
Lynn Collins is good as Sarah,Hudsons love interest and her warmth just shines through while Kevin Pollak also provides comedy support in the best friend role.
While this film contains slightly more swearing than perhaps is needed it is still an enjoyable, warm and at times thought provoking piece that sadly never got the mainstream recognition it deserved.
