Liked the concept, enjoyed the look of the trailer and then sat down and watched the film. I don't think I've ever see a film with such an accidentally claustrophobic and unrealistic fictional landscape, well certainly not a romcom, anyway. From the very start it feels as though the story is being told an inch away from your face, creates a very unsettling and hard to describe tone, like watching a sub-par Woody Allen neurosis-laden "comedy", but, with camera work that mimics the closeness of Ridley Scott's 1979 Alien. Sadly, the protagonist came across to me as completely self absorbed, hyper- confident and deeply smug. A major issue with Cooper and this character he's created, is age, he looks as though he's 30'years old and yet is playing a 22 year old babysitter/children's party host with a heart of gold, which regularly just feels deeply odd and unsettling. Absolutely bizarre film, I couldn't make it to the end.
