Wilson (McNairy) is a 29-year-old loser
in LA who’s desperate not to be alone on New Year’s Eve. His best friend
(McQuire) talks him into signing up on a date site. He meets Vivian (Simmonds).
Films with nothing happening but a young
man and a young woman who don’t know each other walking around a city talking
are highly over-rated. If not even Ethan Hawke can make me like that kind of
film, this one probably can’t either.
McNairy has some appeal (though his
character doesn’t) but Simmonds is anonymously cute with little charisma. I
hope the midnight kiss comes soon because it’s boring, unlikely and faintly
unpleasant.
