A basic romcom with a slightly more interesting premise. The film never really figures out what it wants to be though, bouncing back between comedy, romance, and sci-fi, with none of the genres being all that effective. It's still a fun exercise and a brave attempt to try something a little different.
Whitehall and Woodley make a decent onscreen couple, but their chemistry is limited. The sci-fi elements needlessly complicate the plot and the comedy is hit-and-miss, but you can't fault the film for trying to break the mold. It's not a terrible film, it's just that the potential was there to do better.
