On New Year's Eve, Wilson, a twenty-nine-year old guy has just had the worst year of his life. He emigrated to Los Angeles, has no date, no concrete plans and every intention of locking the doors and forgetting the last year ever happened. That is until his best friend, Jacob, browbeats him into posting a personal ad on Craig's List. When Vivian, a strong-willed woman hell bent on being with the right guy at the stroke of midnight responds, a chaotic, sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching journey through the black and white streets of L.A. begins. In the waning hours of the year, emotional vulnerability and bitterly honest humor seem to be waiting around every corner.

| IGN Movies UKChris TillyObviously heavily influenced by the likes of Swingers and Before Sunrise, it nevertheless manages to find its own voice, combining sentiment with cynicism to create a very modern romantic comedy. |
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsShot entirely in black and white, this endearing, low budget indie offers as compelling a combination of character development, credible dialogue and surprising plot twists as you're likely to encounter between now and New Year's Eve. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesSmart dialogue, an impeccably crafted story, and eye-catching LA locations make this low-budget feature by Alex Holdridge the most worthwhile date movie I've seen in some time. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWe increasingly admire the quality of the acting: Both actors take their characters through a difficult series of changes, without ever seeming to try, or be aware of it. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWonderfully romantic and romantically bittersweet. It's not about forever; it's about now. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonIt's a great feeling, isn't it, falling in love with a movie about falling in love? |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertHow incongruous that while veteran studio heads prepare slates of comic book movies, the slackers behind this $12,000 gem have made one of the most mature films of the year. |
| Uncut Magazine [UK]Michael BonnerHonestly one of those films that, when you see it, you're hooked. |
| Hollywood ReporterSura WoodAn amusing ensemble piece about the troubles of dislocated twentysomethings attempting to find their way through life and love. |
| Empire MagazinePatrick PetersLovingly photographed in a monochrome that recalls Woody Allen’s Manhattan, this is a slickly scripted rom-com. |
