Pierce Brosnan decides that enough is enough an takes himself up to the top of a building on New Years Eve ready to jump after being convicted of sleeping with a minor, losing his TV presenting job, prison sentence and eventual messy divorce. As he stands on the edge enjoying his last cigar, he is disturbed by Maureen (Toni Collette) who asks him if he is going to make a move soon as she is waiting to do the same. Moment later, the annoying Imogen Poots and Aaron Paul are all on the same roof with the same intention. The group form a pact where they will not try to take their life before Valentines Day.
Parts of the film where really engaging and I really enjoyed the "Maureen" story, Imogen Poots is someone I really do not understand, she seems to have sprung from nowhere and is in almost every film released this month. But, I am not a fan.
Nick Hornby has produced some fantastic novels and High Fidelity for me is one of his best, but I could not really engage with the characters in this film
A little long winded, some fun bits, but mostly just plodding along
