So am I imagining things, or is the ensemble rom-com the latest trend in such movies?

I can see where it would work well: Movie romances usually don’t have an actual 90 minutes worth of plot in them, so instead of coming up with even more preposterous contrivances, you can just shove like six relationships in the same amount of time; plus, it lets you get around seeming prescriptivist by having all sorts of different endings for different people.

So the weak theme of this movie is people who discover they’re in bad relationships, and where they go from there. Since I already mentioned it’s an ensemble thing, you can pretty much assume that some people fix their relationships, some people end them, and some people have a different relationship. It’s a little bit of everything for everyone!

Anyway, as movies of this sort go, this one isn’t particularly stupid or offensive, although neither is it particularly great. Recommended with rum.
