Overview

Quinn, a neurotic man, is diagnosed with a harmless eye condition and soon after his life spirals out of control. He second-guesses his plans to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Devon, after his beautiful coworker, Kelsey, confesses that she has a crush on him. After a conversation with his best friend, Jameson, he clumsily tries to explain his doubts to Devon, but his possible proposal turns into a break-up. When Devon flees to Paris, he follows her in a last-ditch effort to win back "the one."

Although Quinn may strike some viewers as more annoying narcissist than self-deprecating charmer, he's a vivid creation.

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

This derivative comedy, in addition to not being particularly funny, gives off a sense of telling us more than we needed to know.

Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
Rotten

[A] Woody Allen-lite comedy ...

Rotten

The danger in writing, directing, producing and casting yourself in the same movie is that there's no one to pull you back from the cliff.
