Love hurts, though not too badly, in Nicholas Stoller’s romantic comedy about a doe-eyed couple whose rose-tinted dreams of marital bliss are undone by the pressures of everyday life.

Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) works in a Los Angeles loans office and is keen to impress her boss Mr Jacks (David Paymer) and beat sycophantic co-worker Stu (Reggie Lee) to the vacant assistant manager’s position.
