Review:  At the heart of this film is the above question of balance compared to friendship and romance between Wallace and the chapel. Their worlds collide at a party in his house during a conversation seemingly mundane in a kitchen. Lit a spark and does not appear immediately, but beware, the mutual attraction.


Wallace was no medical studies to be what the doctor ordered and Chantry (Kazan) worked as an illustrator. Wallace is satisfied with his quick wit and she feels drawn to his intelligence. Later in the evening, she left Chantry has a boyfriend (Spall) would be wondering where he is, before dropping the "Why are we not friends?" Line.

Wallace agreed because although I prefer not to "friend zone" is addicted to just forget this beautiful young woman who makes you feel more alive than ever. But then again after dinner to melt their friendship begins really collide.

Wallace is perhaps a little too shy and awkward (imagine a much younger version of Hugh Grant's lover boy roles stuttering) to be too direct. Wallace friend, the experience of Allan (Driver), which also meets a girl (Davis) in the same batch, Wallace advises on matters of the heart.

Radcliffe plays the sensitive paper, semi-nerd so for some tender scenes, shows empathy with this loser, and wishes that he "happily ever after" ending were. Chapel of Kazan, who is torn between her boyfriend and success of Wallace, is this dichotomy without melodrama.
