Thought it'd annoy me and it didn't. Rashida needs a big vehicle to be the lead in-- she's charming, hilarious, pretty, can do drama and comedy and switch between both effortlessly, etc. Samberg showed he's got chops too. Some really strong and truthful scenes, some really funny moments...

... but some contrived stuff too. With Jesse as such an obvious bum, it definitely paints a one-sided picture... yet the film tries to give Jesse some depth later. I felt it should've focused on either solely Celeste or given Jesse more depth and screen time. Some clutter with the supporting character scenes didn't really add too much. The handheld "indie" direction moving in and out of focus for artsiness annoyed me.

Still, worth seeing. Good date flick-- my lady thoroughly enjoyed it.

And the soundtrack kicks fucking ass.
