Kate (Olivia Wilde) and Luke (Jake Johnson) work together at a craft brewery. They have one of those friendships that feels like it could be something more. But Kate is with Chris (Ron Livingston), and Luke is with Jill (Anna Kendrick). And Jill wants to know if Luke is ready to talk about marriage. The answer to that question becomes crystal clear when Luke and Kate unexpectedly find themselves alone for a weekend.

“A genuinely affecting film so charming and inviting, you'll feel like you're hanging with your own drinking buddies.” – Tara Aquino, Complex
“A FORMIDABLE INJECTION OF NEW BLOOD TO THE ROM-COM GENRE. With the genuine laughs that keep stacking up, Swanberg keeps zigging where others would be zagging.” – Matt Barone, Complex
“In its close observation of characters torn between their heads and their hearts, the film is as penetrating and wise as New Wave master Eric Rohmer often was.” - Kenji Fujishima, Slant
“FUNNY AND POIGNANT. Everyone in the movie is great.” – Mark Lisanti, Grantland
“Olivia Wilde really shows off her dynamic acting chops while also looking crazy hot. One of the more realistic unrequited love stories that has worked in a while.” – Eli Kooris, BlackBook
“Its heady mix of belly laughs and sweet romance is intoxicating. A feel-good film with many moments of genuine laughter and an infectious sense of fun. With characters that are constantly drinking pints, playing pool and going skinny-dipping, the film delivers a great energy that makes you want to make friends and join the party.” – Flossie Topping, Screen
“Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson have crazy palpable chemistry together, and are really funny.” – Cory Everett, The Playlist on Indiewire
“A surprisingly potent exploration of the uneasy space between friendship and romance. It gets to the heart of the matters of the heart with disarming doses of both charm and wisdom.” – William Goss, Film.com
