An American romantic comedy; A story about a young woman who struggles to move on with her life after the death of her husband, when a brash New York writer forces her to confront her loss and the ambiguous circumstances of his death. The theme is about the timing of moving on during grief of a loved on. It's poignant and humorous, but rather inconsequential as it meanders through scenes of defensiveness, shutting out, letting in, pushing away, time and again. It becomes cloying and sentimental when it shouldn't because Jason Sudeikis and Rebecca Hall are attractive to watch , but, alas, convention wins the day. Nonetheless, it is well directed: the comic tone never betrays the pain associated with grief.
