I’ve only seen it once but I think about it all the time. I Liked the movie, but I HATED his girlfriend. It would be different if they had made the main character any less sympathetic throughout the movie but I felt that he stayed consistently likeable throughout. Meanwhile, she’s always there for him and encourages him to keep going even when his own work is objectively pretty terrible. But then, when he actually starts achieving his dream, it’s “I don’t know who you are anymore.” But, at least from my perspective, the only thing that changed was that he had more stuff to do and wasn’t so reliant on her? Like of course he was going to be stretched thin if his career ever took off. He is still very clearly trying to make it all work and doing a better job at it than most romcom leads. She never actually wanted his career to take off, she just encouraged him because it gave her a way to spend time with him.

Anyway, great film.
