Peter (Charlie Day) and Emma (Jenny Slate) thought they were on the precipice of life’s biggest moments – marriage, kids, and houses in the suburbs – until their respective partners dumped them.

"unexpected results"?? I think we know the endgame here... that said, I'll watch because of Charlie Day.

It was predictable as fuck. But, I liked this one a lot. The whole thing was cliche but enough rom-com differences to keep it somewhat fresh. Day is so likable and Slate good too. I especially felt her pain. They had good chemistry. Fun movie.

It was not bad and funny and better than most rom coms.
