   Si te molesta la humanidad, crees que vivir no tiene mucho sentido, pero peor es morirse jajaja, si no crees en el amor y te la pasas criticando cualquier pensamiento esperanzador en ello, está película es para ti y seguro te gusta jajaja.

   Realmente ví está película, porque está actor no me gusta jajaja, si, si, así soy, y como nunca lo he visto en una película "romántica o comedia" decidí darle la oportunidad, pero sigue sin gustarme, claro, esa es una opinión muy personal. Sin embargo no le quita lo buen actor que pueda ser para otros y en algunos personajes.

   English Version

   If you don't believe in love and you spend your time criticizing any hopeful thought about it, this movie is for you and I'm sure you'll like it hahaha.

   I really saw this movie, because I don't like this actor hahaha, yes, yes, that's me, and as I've never seen him in a "romantic or comedy" movie I decided to give him a chance, but I still don't like him, of course, that's a very personal opinion. However it doesn't take away from how good an actor he can be for others and in some characters.

   

   Desde que inicia la película, uno espera ver esa boda del ex y que todo gire en torno a ello. Ver más personajes en escena, diálogos etcétera, pero no es el caso. Aquí solo verás a los protagonistas hablar y hablar y no parar de hablar durante toda, literalmente toda, la película. Nunca verás a otras personas, bueno si, pero a lo lejos, muy lejos y como mega extras, sin un diálogo.

   Se quejan, critican, se creen mejor que otras personas, argumentan cosas, incluso algunos los llamarían "misántropos" y son tan tiesos que en la única escena donde hay contacto físico, no sé jajaja, es horrible, muy seco, sin pasión, sin deseo, sin ganas y sí, hablan mucho incluso en ese momento, tanto así que una especie de Puma que los veía (porque fue al aire libre), le dió sueño jajaja y por esta escena supongo que no es apta para menores de 12 años.

   English Version

   From the beginning of the film, one expects to see the ex's wedding and everything revolves around it. To see more characters on stage, dialogue and so on, but this is not the case. Here you will only see the main characters talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking for the whole, literally the whole, movie. You will never see other people, well yes, but in the distance, very far away and as mega extras, without a dialogue.

   They complain, they criticise, they think they are better than other people, they argue things, some would even call them "misanthropes" and they are so stiff that in the only scene where there is physical contact, I don't know hahaha, it's horrible, very dry, no passion, no desire, no desire and yes, they talk a lot even at that moment, so much so that a kind of Puma that was watching them (because it was outdoors), made him sleepy hahaha and for this scene I guess it is not suitable for children under 12 years old.

   

   En fin, si te gusta ese tipo de humor, quizás te agrade la película y la disfrutes. Yo a la mitad me puse a hacer otras cosas y dejé de verla, al otro día le dí continuidad para ver si al menos luego me iba a gustar algo, pero fue más de lo mismo. Y no, no soy la única persona que critica está película, tiene muchas críticas, tanto de prensa como de la audiencia y entiendo la razón a la perfección.

   Al final y solo al final, es que ambos personajes notan lo triste y solitaria que son sus vidas, vidas que asumen son un fracaso y deben seguir así. Rescato el final, ya que asumo que el protagonista tuvo que ser bastante valiente y dejar mucho orgullo atrás para tomar esa acción.

   PD: Nunca verás como tal, una boda.

   English Version

   Anyway, if you like that kind of humour, you might like the film and enjoy it. Halfway through I started to do other things and stopped watching it, the next day I continued watching it to see if I was going to like it, but it was more of the same. And no, I'm not the only person who criticises this film, it has many critics, both from the press and the audience, and I understand the reason perfectly.

   At the end, and only at the end, both characters realise how sad and lonely their lives are, lives that they assume are a failure and must stay that way. I rescue the ending, as I assume the protagonist had to be quite brave and leave a lot of pride behind to take that action.

   PD: You will never see a wedding as such.

   It is interesting to see how an actor can play different roles than the ones they are usually given or in which they are usually typecast, when we mention certain actors we only imagine them in the roles that made them famous, so seeing them playing totally different roles can be something that impresses us, but it could also show us their quality as an actor.

   Days ago I saw, thanks to my husband, a movie starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, obviously when I read the title and saw this pair of actors I didn't know what to think or expect, especially for Keanu who I am so used to see as John Wick or Neo, without forgetting his performances in Point Break or Constantine.

   This movie introduces us to a couple of unbearable adults, who attend a wedding, in Lindsay's case, she is the ex-girlfriend of the man who is getting married and sadly it seems she has not forgotten him and goes according to her to close a chapter of her life, at the airport she coincides with Frank, at first they seem to hate each other and even argue, but then they realize that they are the pair of problematic guests with whom they do not know what to do.

   Both are unpleasant, they notice that for some reason they have been placed together to share all the activities, after many arguments, because they always want to have the last word, they seem water and oil, they realize that even being so irritating to each other, they are attracted to each other.

   Now, the interesting thing about this movie is that first, although there are a lot of actors, the only ones you will see having dialogues are the main characters, being a couple of perfectionists and hating the world so to speak, they seem to hate everyone, they criticize the party, the bride and groom, the other guests and they attack each other, which brings us to the other interesting point of this film, if you analyze the dialogues, that is to say if you pay real attention to them, there is a lot of depth in them, bordering on the philosophical, they are long dialogues, with black humor in which both protagonists seem to be experts, reaching the point of irritating because it seems that they will never shut up.

   For all of the above, this film is not from my perception suitable for all audiences, because you have to think, analyze the dialogues and how two adults who seem talented and successful, can be so bitter and lonely, which at the same time makes us reflect on whether we have not gone through or are living something similar.

   Thus, this film makes us reflect and analyze why the protagonists can become very irritating and at the same time reasonable, it makes evident how foolishness or stubbornness can isolate us or prevent us from giving in a little to achieve some things, since we can not refuse to give our arm to twist even with the simplest things.

   In closing, we could say that this film seems more like a play, since as I mentioned there are only dialogues between these the main characters, it is important to note that the critics are or were a little divided about this film, but I think it is because not everyone is made or prepared for what we can read or interpret from these dialogues, plus as I mentioned if you have a little critical and analytical mind, it makes us reflect a little to ourselves.

   Es interesante ver como un actor puede interpretar papeles diferentes a los que usualmente les dan o en los que suelen encasillarlos, al mencionar ciertos actores solo los imaginamos en los papeles que los hicieron famosos, así que verlos interpretando roles totalmente diferentes puede ser algo que nos impresione, pero también podría demostrarnos su calidad como actor.

    

    

   Hace días vi, gracias a mi esposo, una película protagonizada por Keanu Reeves y Winona Ryder, obviamente al leer el título y ver a este par de actores no sabía que pensar o esperar, sobre todo por Keanu que estoy tan acostumbrada a ver como John Wick o Neo, sin olvidar sus actuaciones en Punto de Quiebre o Constantine.

    

   Esta película nos presenta un par de adultos insoportables, que asisten a una boda, en el caso de Lindsay, es la exnovia del hombre que se casara y tristemente parece que no lo ha olvidado y va según ella va a cerrar un capítulo de su vida, en el aeropuerto coincide con Frank, al principio parecen odiarse y hasta discuten, pero luego se dan cuanta de que son el par de invitados problemáticos con los que no saben qué hacer.

    

   Ambos son antipáticos, van notando que por alguna razón los han colocado a ambos juntos para que compartan todas las actividades, luego de muchos discutir, pues siempre quieren tener la última palabra, parecen agua y aceite, se dan cuenta de que aun siendo tan irritantes el uno para el otro, se atraen.

    

   Ahora bien, lo interesante de esta película radica en que primero, aunque hay un motón de actores, a los únicos que verás tener diálogos es a los protagonistas, al ser un par de perfeccionistas y odiar al mundo por así decirlo, parecen detestar a todos, critican la fiesta, a los novios, a los otros invitados y se atacan ente si, lo que nos lleva al otro punto interesante de esta película, si se analizan los diálogos, es decir se les presta verdadera atención, hay mucha profundidad en los mismos, rayando en lo filosófico, son diálogos largos, con humor negro en que ambos protagonistas parecen expertos, llegando al punto de que irritan porque parece que no fueran a callar nunca.

    

   Por todo lo anterior, esta película no es desde mi percepción apta para todo público, pues obligatoriamente tienes que pensar, analizar los diálogos y en como dos adultos que parecen talentosos y exitosos, pueden estar tan amargados y solos, lo que al mismo tiempo nos hace reflexionar en sí no hemos pasado o estamos viviendo algo similar.

    

   Así, esta película nos hace reflexionar y analizar porque los protagonistas pueden llegar a ser muy irritantes y al mismo tiempo razonables, hace evidente el cómo la necedad o terquedad nos puede aislar o nos impide ceder un poco para lograr algunas cosas, ya que no podemos negar a dar el brazo a torcer hasta con las cosas más simples.

    

   Terminando, podríamos decir que esta película parece más bien una obra de teatro, puesto como mencione solo hay diálogos entre estos los protagonistas, es importante señalar que la crítica está o estuvo un poco dividida en cuanto a este film, pero creo que se debe a que no todos están hechos o preparados para lo que podemos leer o interpretar de estos diálogos, además que como mencione si se tiene un poco de mente crítica y analítica, nos hace reflexionar un poco a nosotros mismos.

   I quite like Keanu Reeves in a specific capacity and I always root for Winona Ryder to make a comeback because I think that given the correct environment she is actually a wonderful actress. It seemed like teaming the two of them up would almost certainly result in some sort of magic but unfortunately this movie is just terribly terribly dull.

   

   It isn’t just boring, but the lines seem forced and the dialogue takes place in an absurd manor. When I say that I mean that no one talks the way that these two do throughout the film. Their sentences to one another are too…. artsy and deep while still attempting to appear as though these are off-the-cuff statements by two people. It is also meant to be a comedy, but i didn't even come close to a laugh.

   The story is that Lindsey (Ryder) and Frank (Reeves) are heading to the same wedding that neither of them really want to attend. Of course they are both single. They don’t know each other but immediately rub one another the wrong way from the very start despite the fact that what they started saying was pleasant enough.

   

   Some people just annoy one another – I can certainly relate to that. However, luck keeps bringing them together such as being seated next to one another on the plane, having adjoining rooms at the hotel, and being seated at the same table at the rehearsal dinner.

   

   One particularly bad scene is where Ryder opens what she believes to be her closet and it turns out it is a door that leads to his room where he is in a state of undress. I mean, have you EVER opened a closet and walked into it without, i dunno, having a look first or maybe turning on the light? This is how people fall down elevator shafts i guess. Maybe it is because I have never had a walk-in closet that was as big as a living room complete with sofa and television.

   It’s dumb. It’s like Blended(Adam Sandler movie) but without the occasional laughter (this film is not a comedy – I don’t know what you would call it.) The dialogue, which is meant to be thought-provoking and dare I say, inspiring, is delivered in a wooden way (especially from Reeves – no real surprise there) and to say that Ryder and Reeves have zero on-screen chemistry is an insult to chemistry, screens, and the number zero.

   This movie received mixed reviews and for the professional critics that said they liked it, i have a difficult time understanding how. Because Reeves is attempting to do something other than action? This film pulled in under 600,000 dollars, which is just an afternoon of shopping (without shoplifting) for Ryder.

   Keep in mind that I like both of these guys but this film just has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It takes about 8 minutes to be bored out of your mind but because you WANT IT TO BE GOOD you hang on, waiting for a twist that never comes. Then it is over and you can’t believe you wasted an hour an a half of your life on this turd. I’m sure there is someone out there that likes this, but I am not that guy, nor will I ever be.
