A funny boy-meets-girl movie that primarily takes place over the course of a full day. Without giving too much away, it’s about two women striking up a conversation with one of them unwittingly becoming a matchmaker. The consequences are hilarious and lead to a bunch of amusing scenes. The movie stars Simon Pegg, who plays a 40-year-old man trying to reconcile his feelings of loss over his divorce, and Lake Bell, who plays a socially awkward 34-year-old woman. She’s become cynical about romance because of compounded past hurts.
The story is tight, focusing on an evening about two people acquainting themselves with each other and at the same time, learning something about themselves. I watched this film because of Simon Pegg, who makes any movie funnier if it’s a comedy. I’ve listed below in chronological order the movies I’ve seen where he (or his voice) is featured.

Hmmm…I think I watched a few parts of this movie, but I could be mistaken. I’m not sure if it’s the kind of movie I typically watch, however, I’ll keep it in mind! Thanks for the review!
