Simon Pegg and Lake Bell are on good form as couple who end up on the wrong date, and ensuing complications are fun, but film doesn't have a single shot in it longer than about five seconds, which then makes you start wondering whether the performances were created in the editing room - I'm sure they weren't but it makes you wonder. Also you yearn for the space -- think of Preston Sturges.
It's an Andrew Dunn film (and it looks like one), edited by that Paul Machliss fellow again. Ben's a TV director and I think it shows (this is where Machliss comes from as well).
Harriet Walter is in it.
