Will add my thoughts after I watch it one or two or three or four times tonight.

Awesome!
Sason:
I've finally seen this movie, on Isle of Wight last weekend.
My impressions:
Jake and Anne are great. Good chemistry between them, good acting. As for reminders of BBM I was reminded of Lureen exactly two times, one when Anne's character was on the phone, and once I heard Lureen's voice when Anne said something I've now forgotten. And there was one or two moments where I briefly saw Jack Twist in one of Jake's facial expressions. Other than that, it was hard to connect the two actors with BBM, I think.
The story is crap. Very predictable, very shallow, very Hollywood.
The viewing was very enjoyable, since my co-viewers all are hardcore Jakeaholics, and there was a lot of stopping the movie and going back and forth in slow motion while commenting on and drooling over various Gyllenhaalic undressed body parts.... ::) ;D :laugh:

you mean discussing and analyzing the movie in an objective and meaningful way, don´t you?

I only watched it once last night. Maybe I had built it up too much in my mind, but I didn't like it much at all. Jake and Anne's acting was fine, but everything else just kinda annoyed me. Reminded me one heck of a lot of "Sweet November" with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron from many years back. I won't list the things I didn't like, for fear of having to get into a point-by-point discussion/dispute with a team of Jake-a-holics, ha-ha. I'll give it another go this weekend; perhaps it'll grow on me.
