I don't mind that these aren't the most poignant or well-written movies. It's a rom-com; that's not why you watch them. But this was hard to watch at times. It's one thing for them to be constantly competing over a guy, but Kate Upton's character is just awful. She steals her friend's airline miles, locks her in an unsanitary public bathroom, doesn't care when she has a panic attack on a hot air balloon, endangers everyone by blinding the guy flying the balloon, tries to drug her friend, doesn't tell anyone that she accidentally drugged the guy driving the car which led to them getting in a car accident, punches her "friend" in the throat, and probably more I'm forgetting. Alexandra Daddario's character may have competed for the guy, but she always looked out for her friend - warning her about flashing people in a bar, tried to keep her from getting hurt in the pool, and genuinely caring for her friend.
From the get-go, you know Upton's character a terrible person. Daddario seems to get in trouble with her job for asking a kid to read from whatever he's hiding, which happens to be inappropriate. Upton's character gets fired for intentionally trying to deceive companies into buying illegal North Korean cosmetics. At least there's a semi-happy ending when they stop living together so Daddario can get her sh*t together without Upton around.
