Good movie, but the main protagonist is still a romantic. I'm not even quite sure what to make of the movie. All women are sluts, but keep trying because "autumn" could be the one? Or a lot of men are stupid? Or "there are a lot of good and bad women", summer was just a slut? Or stop being a romantic - but then the main protagonist is still thirsty after women in the last scene.

It's a movie that doesn't say too much.. it tries to straddle the line. Also, the romance itself was not realistic. The girl was way too hot for the guy. in real life the guy would be dating a whale instead of a hot girl. Or perhaps not dating anyone at all.

When I first saw the movie, I liked it a lot too.. but the more I thought about it, the more "blue pilled" the movie seemed to me. The main protagonist is a simp that gets shiet on, and he ultimately doesn't learn anything, but continues his simp ways. The only thing that changes about him is that he finally "moves on" from the girl. But a simp that "moves on" from a girl..... to another women, is still a simp.
