It'll take you roughly five minutes to realize that Noah is going about things the wrong way; it'll take him more than 90.

It's like being at a crowded restaurant and eavesdropping on the same bad first date over and over and over again. You'd probably want to move tables.

How the movie plays with time and its different scenarios elevates it above your average laundry-folding, background noise rom-coms.
