7/10
A dialogue based play that marks the fourth movie Ryder and Reeves do together.

Somebody must have said to them "Get a room already" so they did in this romantic comedy about very articulate and attractive yet magically single people that consider live pointless and hopeless and then enjoy their misery together way too much. The other characters in the movie were on purpose left in the background which basically makes this a two people play.

I have to say that the dialogue was witty and fun, but it went for too long and lost of its quality as it went along. Then it got to the mandatory romantic connection between the two characters, which felt a bit pointless. I mean, it's funny to watch the two grumpy old men from Muppets comment on the destination wedding of annoying people, but then making them fall for each other at the end is just gross.

Bottom line: wholly predictable, all except the dialogue which was actually fun up to a point.
