What Works Well: Connor's gay friend Greg (Jaboukie Young-White) adds a few moments of levity.
What Does Not Work As Well: This is a limp romantic comedy with barely any romance and just a bit of humour. The three main characters allow irresponsible behaviour to run their lives (Olivia is also having an affair with a married man and neglects birth control; Jenny respects her conservative parents except when she is engaging in threesomes and unprotected sex), and then they all moan endlessly about how hard it all is. Somehow this soulless exercise in obnoxious characters getting what they deserve is dragged out to close to two hours.
Key Quote:
Connor: I thought you were on the pill.
Olivia: It's hard to remember you know. You have to take one every single day.
