Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A Disappointing Continuation

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. Although classified as a ROMCOM there is basically no comedy in this. It is a depressing look at how so many relationships end up. The acting was superb, the directing was above average and the lessons learned and note worthy.Over all I would say 7.5

This is a film that wants you to take a deep breath, that wants you to get context before you take the plunge into its depths, which though admirable, hasn't been executed to its fullest potential, and yet it has a heart. The actors do their job, and at some point you get past their insane hotness, which is complimentary, of course. The story revolves around an impulsive (maybe slightly drunk?) wedding and its implications for a very young couple, who haven't yet rooted themselves in terms of what they want from life. The film gets into the rut of a possibly accurate on an average, but an over used male stereotype, that of a lazy ass, porn-watching, XBOX playing deadbeat young husband, but the catch here is, he's insanely attractive and kinda sweet, which helps. The glossy young couple were maybe meant to begin that way, maybe we were supposed to look through the eyes of an outsider, to whom everything would look glossy, but impractical. An unlikely, but possible theory. But anyway, the movie doesn't remain template driven for very long and soon gets it's own if not full bodied, at least a decent upper half. Any movie that makes me uncomfortable, puts me in a different frame of mind than what I walked in with, is worthy of watching, so go ahead, it's a decent attempt at the fallacy of impulsive decisions leading to happy endings, but with a hot cast.

I gave it a 7, my feeling was to give it a 5, not because the acting was bad, not because the directing was bad, on the contrary, acting, directing was good, but because, having been in 2 marriages which ended, first one after 22 months due to her indiscretion and the second one lasted 21 years and again, due to her indiscretion with a work colleagues, ended. So... If you are newly married or contemplating marriage, then watch this and LEARN! This movie is about a lesson in fidelity or infidelity, of seriously knowing exactly what both parties want out of life. If you have split, then don't watch it because all it will do is remind you of the hurt, the disappointment, the sadness of an ending.

Young newlyweds encounter a series of challenges during the first year of their marriage. I do admire the story that this film tries to send about the every day struggles of young couples and how easily they can be seduced unfortunately 'Paper Year' did not transfered that good on screen. The actors do an alright job with the script that was handed to them but they could have done better i'm sure of that plus fans of Andie MacDowell will definitely be disappointed since her screen time is limited in about 4 to 5 minutes which i found it to be very disappointing considering the fact of how good of an actress she is. Overall a really disappointing romance drama about love and cheating. (4/10)
