While the idea of telling the story of a relationship out of order isn't half as a quirky or original idea as the interviews with the cast on the DVD would lead you to believe there is still a lot to like about this modern musical adapted to film by the director of PS I Love You.
The main selling point/draw is Anna Kendrick. Not only is she very pretty and funny, but she's also a good singer, who shines in every number.
Her male counterpart was less engaging, but to be fair, when faced with Kendrick, I think anyone would come off second best.
I'm not saying this is the best musical of all time, or even of the last few years, but it has its moments if you're in the musical mood.
