CGiii Comment

Where has all the Araki anger gone?

It really is so desperately BLAND and FLUFFY and FEEBLE.

Araki stated that he was paying homage to the great screwball comedies of the 30s...

BOLLOCKS, this is a blatant attempt to break into the lucrative RomCom market - where has Araki's integrity gone?

This is a sterile, fun-for-all-the-family Disney doppelganger.

It's also called SELLOUT.

The(ir) Blurb...

An average, calm mid-20s girl named Veronica restarts her dead dating life all of the sudden, but with two guys: a sensitive failed writer named Abel and an airheaded drummer named Zed. At first she despairs. Then she finds a way to date both without their finding out. Then she tells both about it. Then Abel and Zed meet each other, and, after much initial conflict, they wind up living together and evolve into a very odd yet happy threesome. However, as time goes by Veronica starts growing apart from them, while Abel and Zed become brother-like (and kid-like). So when a director starts courting a pregnant Veronica, strains ensue. Will Abel and Zed be able to grow up and save the day?
