I'm not going to blab the story to you but I am going to say that you should watch it, watch it before 'Liberal Arts'. This film is Josh Radnor's directorial debut where he tells the story of a freelance writer called Sam (played by himself) in his search for work and love, where he only finds one. Don't let the English marketing poster scare all of you away because although it does not seem so, this is not just another Rom-Com, I mean it is but the ending is unexpected and the story, theme, all the other aspects apart from the romantic interest are not like any other Rom-Com in my opinion. Radnor goes beyond the genre to deliver a heartfelt tale about how love is not always where you expect it to be, or with whom you want it to be with. (I'm not making the whole it's not another Rom-Com thing very convincing am I?) OK, watch the film and you will love it, I promise.
I also want to say that 'Liberal Arts' is good but not as good as this film. Both directed by Josh Radnor but 'HappyThankyouMorePlease' just has something that 'Liberal Arts' doesn't although I have to say that I fell in love with both the first time I watched them. They both also have Josh Radnor in the leading role so if you have a crush on Ted Moseby (How I Met Your Mother, also played by Radnor) then definitely watch them, or even if you just want to hear Ted Moseby swear.
Both films are available on DVD worldwide on Amazon.
