Looked really good. I will definitely be renting it.
No Blu-ray? C**p.
Really great film with excellent performances by both Hawkins and Marsan, both of which I had never heard of before this movie.
But even though I have seen this 2/3 months ago, I haven't got a clue who that guy on the cover is.

I wanted to see this, I'll rent it.
This is a great film and I cannot wait to own it, but why is there no blu-ray?! Oh well, the coverart is fine I suppose, but the guy on the cover is only in the film for maybe 10-15 minutes. I would have prefered the hand drawn poster, but whatever the film is a true gem.
Worst cover art ever. That dude's in the movie for like 5 minutes. Good movie by the way, Hawkins really earned her Golden Globe.
hes her boyfriend. she hooked up with. funny film. worth a rental :0)
Yeah, awful cover. Thankfully the movie is great. Very sweet film. And Hawkins is absolutely fantastic.
America gets a commentary, then. I say thee 'humph'.
Once again, a cover that makes a genuine film look like Because I Said So 2.
A brilliant film that deserves more than this rom-com cover art treatment. *sigh* I suppose more people will rent it...
