There are fun and funny sequences here... as a band of merry and manipulative friends run well orchestrated "plays" to score hookups and have fun. It starts off clever and witty, but then starts to get bogged down in some deep rom-com muck and loses its footing in the second act. Felt like it still might be salvageable, but it failed to exit the quagmire of romantic predictability and lost the edge it began with. Didn't hate it by any means (and loved the baseball angle), but what started as something vibrant ended up being more formulaic and cheesy than it shoulda been.
Love the way the friends interacted, and genuinely liked Mac (Gina Rodriguez), but her attempts to fight her way out of "oops, first date sex" zone and into an "adult" relationship using ploys and dishonesty were a bit too contrived for me. And we all saw the ending coming from a mile away... the tried and true "gee, everyone knew but me?" card. Not a bad film, but nothing special either.
