Celeste and Jesse Forever



What I liked:

  • Rashida Jones is stunningly beautiful, smart, funny, and a wonderful actor.  She's just fantastic in this role.
  • Jones co-wrote the film with Will McCormack, who also stars in it.  The story is smart, funny, touching and realistic.
  • Andy Samberg is great.  It's nice to see him play a sensitive, more reserved role than we are use to seeing him in.
  • Jones and Samberg have great chemistry together.  
  • Superb supporting cast: Ari Graynor, Eric Christian Olsen, Rob Huebel, Elija Wood, Chris Messina, Emma Roberts, Rececca Dayan, Rich Sommer, Chris D'Elia, and Sarah Wright.
  • Chris Pine!
  • I loved the opening.  It really captured the rise and fall of their relationship in warp speed.
  • Excellent soundtrack.

What I didn't like:
  • Not enough of Olsen.
  • This most likely only bothered me but I thought that the timeline of events was a bit confusing.  Sometimes it felt like months had gone by when it was really days and vice versa.  

Grade: A
