I enjoyed this movie and though the ending wasn\’t wrapped in a pretty bow that is life. As far as the ending I interpreted it that the field on the hotel card that he did not check off said\”would you return\” or \”do you plan to return\” then when she flipped it over it probably said something like a year from now or we will see and his number or something. I think the hotel art they did as well can be used if one or both go back there and flip it…intention being for a sequel? I thought Chris Evans was endearing and charming and their was chemistry so it was believable. The movie was entertaining and made you actually feel something. Just my thoughts…

OK it\’s not Before Sunrise, but it was a pretty good movie in it\’s own right, especially as a directorial debut for Chris Evans. In fact, if Before Sunrise and its sequels hadn\’t been made (or if I hadn\’t seen them first) I would\’ve been pretty blown away by this movie. There was a lot of great dialogue, and they did a great job of not over-acting, which would be easy to try in a movie with this type of pacing.

Also two thumbs up for using "I Don\’t" by Margot & The Nuclear So and So\’s during the scene in the dinner where Nick and Brooke talk about her husband…I love that song and it made a nice, soft backdrop to that conversation.

It wasn\’t. While I love The Playlist, I think they are excessively and needlessly hard on films when it comes to reviews – just for the sake of it. It\’s like some critics will give 4 out of 5 or 5 out of 5 to almost everything – The Playlist goes the opposite route, in that most movies are shit and the only films that are deserving of A\’s and B\’s – are movies that are the best thing since sliced bread.

I would watch Chris Evans read the phone book, so I guess I\’m biased, but I also thought it wasn\’t that bad.

It\’s certainly no "D", which conveys awful.

I don\’t think it was a harsh review. Yeah, sure, he\’s likeable but that\’s not some redeeming quality, especially not in film. The movie wasn\’t great, not saying it was awful, but it\’s a good learning experience.

It is a way too harsh review. The movie is actually pretty charming and Chris Evans is incredibly likeable here. It is his first directorial effort and on that level, it completely delivers. I am sure you wish you could have made this movie. A B- at best and a C at worst.

This is way too harsh a review. A great first shot at directing. Maybe there have been some changes since you saw it last year. Comments about the barely audible "indie" soundtrack and overly shaky shots sounds like those of a frustrated x-film student.
