After his long-time girlfriend dumps him, a thirty-year-old record store owner seeks to understand why he is unlucky in love while recounting his "top five breakups of all time".
This film's got that quirky, heartfelt vibe I dig. John Cusack nailed the role with a vibe that's all too relatable for anyone who's ever obsessively curated their music collection. The film's mix of humor and heartache hits a sweet spot, exploring the complexities of relationships and the solace we find in music. The soundtrack alone is worth the watch, but the dialogue and pacing keep the energy flowing. It's a chill yet engaging experience that feels like hanging out with a friend who gets you.
