The whole story feels so refreshing and the characters are so beautifully written that you can't help but fall in love with them. There's these two big guys in the movie that are side characters but they ended up being my favorite with their distinct funny and lovable personalities. They're almost like Disney movie characters but for adults. You also can't help but fall in love with the setting as well since it takes place on Hawaii. The chemistry between actors is unmatched. It's like they're all on the same wavelength and can riff off each other with no problem. Everyone understands the assignment, even the side actors and extras, and it shows in their performances. It's kinda hard to describe the feeling you get from watching this movie, but I guess some words that help describe it are: feel-good, cozy, hilarious, sincere. Mila Kunis looks more beautiful than ever in this movie, it's like she's a goddess or something - she's glowing. If you haven't fallen in love with Mila Kunis yet, you definitely will in this movie. Kristen Bell gives a wonderful performance as well playing the sort of villain in the movie. She taps into her more sentimental dramatic side, without also neglecting her funny side, and it balances the rest of the comedy in the movie so well. Russell Brand is hilarious as the cool yet self-absorbed lothario singer. Jason Segel, who also wrote the movie, plays the heartbroken yet funny main character who ends up finding hope and moving on with the help of Mila's character.
It's a well written rom-com movie that feels very refreshing with all of it's wonderful characters and hilarious moments. They've perfected the Rom-com formula with this one, this is how you make a comedy breakup film. It's a must-watch.
