   Oh, wow. I'm actually blown away by the comments here. What a bunch of pretentious blowhards the two of those commenters are.
   
   affie was right on the money. A gorgeous movie with absolutely terrific acting by Simon Pegg. The music is brilliant, and the pacing doesn't falter. It reminds me a lot of Walter Mitty, but in a very good way.
   I also agree with affie about

   the affair

   . Seemed like that was quickly glossed over, although as far as I remember he didn't have

   an affair. I seem to recall that he considered it, but fell asleep instead. However, that doesn't change the fact that not only did he consider it, but he also went on a date with her afterwards. So, I guess it's still cheating, which is most definitely wrong. It really should've been touched on more

   .
   Other than that, it's brilliant.
   
   I'm sorry for the commenters that have stone cold hearts, but I for one fell in love with this movie. It's very sweet and hits all of the right notes. A true gem. 6 years 1 month ago

   Truly remarkably gorgeous movie, really fun to watch. The best performance of Simone Pegg I have ever seen, just wonderful. Hopefully I can apply the lessons he learned about happiness in real life. Only thing I find horrible is he actually betrayed his wife on his search to find happiness. With all the laughing and the music throughout the movie and at the ending they cover it up, ignore it completely like it's the most normal thing in the world, but he f**kin' cheated on her. So should we just add "cheating" to the list of finding true happiness? With all this cheating in movies and in real life I'm drawing the conclusion that monogamy in relationships is exceptionally rare.
   Anyway, really fun movie. 8/10 9 years 2 months ago
