My Last Five Girlfriends

Hilarious and twisted look at the confusing world of relationships.

This wasn't that great, well it's British. It has some nice concepts and quotes about love and relationships... I'd watch it just for them... its kinda funny too

It was a light and enjoyable story.

Pretty good, it's a bit like a British Version of 100 days of Summer, funny an inventive an a little quirky, not bad at all. I think it's passable as a boy friendly Rom Com too. Not bad at all.

This is the tale of a British dude (Brendan Patricks) who recalls his last five girlfriends and blames them for things not working out and telling his bitter tale to the audience. However, as you flashback to the tales you begin to see that at least part of the overall blame is upon him, especially in regards to his insecurities about love. The last girlfriend which is analyzed for the longest part of the film is more âher faultâ? if you want to take sides and it's a pretty obvious move of self sabotage on her part. The tale is a bit slow but it picks up. There are some interesting interrupt moments as people and things in his fantasy âspeak to himâ? and give him advice. Usually bad advice when they aren't making him feeling insecure about his chances of making things work. There were some interesting theories and focuses. Look for âRomantic Terrorismâ? and âThe Male Guide To Sulkingâ? If I was involved with some of his exes I'd shoot myself dead. Really. Others were just fine and even lovable characters so they did a good job not making them all unlikely prospects. His last girlfriend, Gemma, was played by Naomi Harris and for the movie buffs one of his earlier irritating girlfriends, Olive, was played by Jane March (âThe Loverâ? âColor of the Nightâ? and 2010 âClash of the Titansâ?). Questions love and the feelings that go with it. He questions whether love is real and not just a stomach ache. There are some good points that romantic love is a learned ritual and not something you see in all cultures over the world though it is certainly the most popular as it takes human beings to a higher level. And, like a lot of broken heart love tales, it ends on a hopeful note of him meeting somebody new (we just see her from behind) and then immediately ending. Based on pop-philosopher Alain De Botton's book, Essays In Love (U.S. title On Love).

The basic idea of this movie was clever, and imaginative. I love quirky, and this was definitely quirky, but sometimes quirky isn't enough. I usually like quirky English movies, especially, but this one just seemed flat.

Visually engaging, quick and many neat scenes, acting very believable, wild imaginative twists and touches.....real fun stuff and a teensy message about relationships in there somewhere i believe

Why would you adapt this book?! That said, it was rather enjoyable.

Really funny, full of laughs

Found this on Netflix Instant Queue and after spending half an hour trying to find a decent, short movie that neither of us had seen, my girlfriend and I finally settled on this one. It's not bad! But it's not great, either. If you've had any serious relationships, you can surely relate to some portion of the film. It's British and has a quirky, independent film feeling to it. The cheesiness that almost made me turn it off a few minutes in eventually grew on me, and I also grew to appreciate the strange artistic metaphors. Probably not the best couple movie. It portrays failed relationships rather than cute, successful ones. But there's stuff you can relate to and plenty of intimate/silly relationship humor thrown in too. Not a must-see, not a can't-see. If you can't decide on a Netflix movie and really want to watch one, it might be worth your while.
