Review of Brand New Old Love

This movie took a VERY basic romcom plot and somehow made it boring, not funny, and almost depressing. The whole marriage pact thing is as old as time. There's almost nothing original to be done with that concept and this movie proved that. Both characters are 30...(SO Old) and not going anywhere in life so they decide to get married...blah blah blah I'd hoped for a little comedy but unfortunately the director decided against that. Ultimately the two characters are supposed to end up making each other better and moving forward, but that's not what happens here. Instead, the male character end up pulling the female lead into his whole "people don't change" concept and they decide to both be directionless losers. I've always found aha cash cute and funny but in this movie she phoned it in. Not sure if that was her fault or just really bad directing but in the end, it was not her finest role. The rest of the actors will probably never be seen again, say for the roommate.
