That monkey thinks he’s a DJ! I’ve heard it theorized that a million monkeys scratching on a million turntables randomly over an infinite amount of time will eventually recreate the Beatles’ entire discography.

This particular movie has been lying among my collection for quite a while now but I could never get myself to watch it. Reasons may be many such as the fact that I acquired it at a time when I had started hating How I Met Your Mother and I just assumed that the movie was basically the same thing stretched across a movie platform, considering that it stars and is also directed by Josh Radnor who also happens to play Ted in the show. I had also acquired solely because it had been garnering some rave reviews at the Sundance. Now, having finally watched the movie I have concluded that it is a heart-warming film set in one of the busiest city in the world - New York (I have this growing fear that feel-good movie set in cities is becoming something of a cliche or is it already?)

The movie tells the story of close friends as they discover and re-discover love in New York City. Sam Wexler (Josh Radnor), a down on his luck writer who is having a hard time getting his new book published. Giving him his dose of encouragement is his best friend Annie (Malin Akerman), an Alopecia patient. Also in the picture is a committed couple, Mary and Charlie (portrayed by Zoe Kazan and Pablo Schreiber respectively). Sam’s life takes a turn when he gets close with a kid whom he finds on the street while at the same time falling for Mississippi (Kate Mara), a waitress. Sam’s life becomes heavy with the burden of commitment and the way he makes through it becomes the rest of the story. Annie on the other hand has many complexities which she hides deep within her but they start surfacing as she gets close with Sam #2 (Tony Hale). Mary and Charlie have been dating for over five years and there haven’t been much in differences till now. Charlie, tempted by prospects in Los Angeles, is planning to shift up there while Mary vehemently rejects the proposal. New York has become home to her and shifting all of a sudden becomes hard to think for her. To add more to the heap, she discovers that she is pregnant and is yet to decide how to break the news to Charlie.

The movie’s strength lies in the interactions between the various well-sketched characters. They feel real and not at all forced upon. I could totally relate myself to the conversations that the characters have. Apart from that, the performances are quite good. The story is a little cliched but the presentation makes up for that. And the soundtrack just stays in your head long after the movie is over. When compared to other movies which may fall in the same genre, this one will stand out for being pretty straight forward without too much drama.
