Product Description I Give It A Year is a brand new comedy
from the writer of Borat and Bruno that lifts the veil on the
realities of the first year of marriage.Starting where other
romantic comedies finish, I Give It A Year asks what happens
after the epic romance and the fairy-tale wedding? When the
confetti has been recycled and the presents packed away.Since
they met at a party, ambitious high-flyer Nat and struggling
novelist Josh have been deliriously happy despite their
differences. As those luminary philosophers DJ Kool Kat and Paula
Abdul once decreed, it appears that opposites attract, Josh is a
thinker, Nat’s a doer, he’s laissez faire and she’s quite
anal….but the spark between them is undeniable.Their wedding is a
dream come true, but not everyone shares their excitement.
Family, friends and even the minister who marries them aren’t
convinced that they can last.As they settle into real life
together, their apparent incompatibility only makes Nat and Josh
more determined to make it work, but soon the absurdities and
flaws they once found so endearing are irritating the hell out of
each other. Chloe, Josh’s ex-girlfriend, and Guy, Nat’s handsome
American client, could offer attractive alternatives…….. With
their first anniversary approaching, neither wants to be the
first to give up, but will they make it? Amazon.co.uk Review
If you're one of those who sits through the average romantic
comedy and instantly tires of the formula, then the makers of I
Give It A Year very much have you in mind. For this is a film
that starts with the wedding, and then charts how things,
bluntly, don't go to plan in the twelve months that follow. The
couple at the heart of the story are played by Rafe Spall and the
always-excellent Rose Byrne, and neither of them play characters
who come out of this particularly well. If there's a problem with
I Give It A Year, it's that it's hard to root for the key duo, no
matter how much fun the performances are. However, very much in
the film's favour is the quality of its jokes. Director Dan Mazer
has form working on the likes of Borat, and his ability to
generate a giggle, whether comfortable or not, is very much to
the movie's credit. Furthermore, Mazer wisely stocks his film
with some excellent supporting players. We don't see enough of
the likes of Minnie Driver on screen, and her cameo here is a
welcome one. Furthermore, Stephen Merchant's wedding speech is
pitched exceptionally well, balanced cringe and laughs adeptly.
And Anna Faris adds another good comedic role to her own resume.
I Give It A Year is sometimes a little raw, and certainly not a
first date movie. But it is a funny one, and it is a movie that's
willing to take some risks with the genre in which it finds
itself. For that, and many other reasons, it deserves real
credit. --Jon Foster
