2010 Directed by Josh Radnor
Synopsis
Go Get Yourself Loved
Captures a generational moment - young people on the cusp of truly growing up, tiring of their reflexive cynicism, each in their own ways struggling to connect and define what it means to love and be loved. Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who's having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam's life revolves around his friends-Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam's eye.

I'm a sucker for this movie, I really am. I especially enjoy the show stealing scenes with Pablo Schreiber & Zoe Kazan. They're naturals. My only slight criticism is the persistent use of Jaymay throughout the film, overkill.

Really enjoyable small film. Only heard about it via Netflix suggestions, but really liked it. Mainly for the parts with Kate Mara in them, if you know what I mean... Eh? Eh?

I adored this film, such a wonderful debut by Josh Radnor as a director.
You feel good after watching it, the story is simple, it might have some clichès but it's sweet and charming and you can relate with some points of the story.
The performances were good. -
In 2012 I came to the realization that I didn't dislike Josh Radnor as much as I previously assumed I did. In fact, it was quite the opposite. I adored his sophomore writing & directing effort, Liberal Arts, so much that I completed a 180 degree turn on my thoughts toward him. I initially wrote him off as one-dimensional, wooden, and lifeless actor based solely on seeing him in a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother, a show which I never found much to like from. After seeing all of the talent on display in Liberal Arts, I quickly saw that I judged him far too fast and never gave him a fair shot.
It's probably better that my…

Part of the No Rewatch November 2012 Project.
A simple enough movie with a series of plots that more or less tie together. None of the plots are particularly compelling on their own, but added together you end up with an enjoyable little movie.
Some of the stories are built on a few too many gimmicks, or maybe I should call them "character quirks". They're mostly just fine but don't do what the filmmakers wanted them to when it comes to making the characters likable.
The acting was fine and I tend to give a little leeway to any movie about a writer so that's going in it's favor. The meaningful moments felt mostly forced which all culminated in a…

O Ted Mosby, η Zoe Barnes, ο Buster Bluth, ο Dimitri απ το Weeds (ή οποινδήποτε έπαιξε στο Wire) κι η Ruby Sparks σε τέλειως διαφορετικούς και άκρως χορταστικούς ρόλους. Ωραίοι χαρακτήρες, ενδιαφέρουσα μουσική και πλοκή και φυσική η Νέα Υόρκη. Josh, τα κατάφερες, μπορώ επίσημα να πω ότι δε σε βλέπω πια σαν αυτό το μίασμα της τηλεόρασης, ονόματι Ted Mosby, και μου αρέσουν αυτά που κάνεις.

Washington Square, are you still there?
Do you still have drugs, jugglers and bucks to spare?

First impressions: "Dude, this is going to be boring." "Let's hope Josh Radnor's character doesn't end up a lot like Ted Mosby." "Judging by the description, I feel like this is almost a How I Met Your Mother rip-off, but not exactly...?"
And I ended up being the emotional teenager that I am. I liked some parts and hated some, but that's what I liked about the movie. In short, it was a nice one.

Delightful.

"My mother warned me about guys like you," Kate Mara, in her traditional too-much-eyeliner, tells Josh Radnor in this, Radnor's big-screen/writing/directing debut. But Mr. Milquetoast isn't even an Amish mother's idea of a bad influence; and he's certainly no Woody Allen, but just like Ed Burns and every dorky white guy I went to film school with, he wants to be, making a real "physician, heal thyself" moment out of a mid-film dis on Allen's oeuvre. The picture's only saving grace is Tony Hale, who's so dashing compared to Radnor that you wish the alphabetically-ordered cast list weren't just a gesture of false humility. Alas, this is a vanity project through and through.

Bonito filme independente e despretencioso. Boas atuações de atores pouco conhecidos. Nota 7.1.

Very indie, very "first movie" and VERY written but there are some great moments here; the last 15 minutes in particular were pretty moving for me. I feel like the film suffers a bit from involving so many characters and so many stories but overall it's a decent watch.
