Let us preempt this by saying that boys and girls here stands for any relationship either same-sex or otherwise it is made clear at the start of the film; it is again about finding the true partner the true other half and of course this theme has been running through all of literature all of filmmaking since it's inception.

Here it is a very interesting iteration on this theme. It shows how sometimes something which looks like gold is only glitter.

It is interesting to see that his friend's girlfriend finally rejects him when she sees that he seems to have some kind of seer power Which makes everything predictable and therefore extremely boring; he does look quite boring as a person kind of guy who keeps his cards really so close to his chest but you can never see or guess how he feels.

The fact that the tale spins around and ends up somewhere we thought it might but were never really sure is very well done here. In many ways beyond being a film about boy girl girl boy it is more of a film about predictability and chance and the fact that the story is always wider than the human mind could possibly imagine

Funnily enough at the start of the film it looks like it is going to be a shallow fest of cliches but in the end it is anything but; this feeling is only there for the first 10 minutes if that, so by all means carry on with it it is a film that has depth in the end and one could even argue is philosophical

A fairly refreshing iteration on the boy girl story; totally worth a viewing.
