The film keeps getting better and better and despite its subversive stance is in fact exactly the film that it's trying to upend, namely a romcom. However it's smarter than most, from the beginning in which it looks like JT is late for a date - he is, but it's another date. The story is by Harley Peyton (a Twin Peaks writer), David A. Newman and Keith Merryman with Gluck getting a credit for the screenplay with them.
Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake are very natural and likeable. With Patricia Clarkson, Jenna Elfman, Richard Jenkins, Woody Harrelson and Nolan Gould as the kid who keeps stuffing up his magic tricks. Yes that is Masi Oka on the plane, and Emma Stone and Jason Segel.
Harrelson has the best little speeches, like how he loves women. "They're beautiful, majestic, mysterious, mesmerizing creatures, smart, empathetic, superior to men in every way." Plus Clarkson - "I'm hungry. Got any gin?"
