This is one of those movies you will see at 3pm on cable. It's predictable af and we've seen this type of romcom 1000 times over
To be fair there were 1 or 2 laughs in the first third of the movie but than it falls flat on it's face with cliche's. The acting was bad but the directing was terrible, the color scheme was wrong for a romcom and the movie just looked like crap.
If you have nothing better to do and the movie is on TV you might leave it play while you are browsing on your phone.
- a guy who's down on his luck falls in love with his pretty coworker but then messes things up and than he fixes it and as they kiss the camera pans over and fades into a black screen - the end.

Had some laughs early on, then became a rather cliched dumped-guy-meets-girl-who-was-right-under-his-nose relationship film. The ending was so abrupt it seemed like they really didn't know what to do. Not horrible, but wouldn't really recommend.

Krumholtz and arquette are at their usual slovenly pathetic selves and the guy that lost his girlfriend was the usual loser... the only good part of this film was about brooklyn decker because she kept her obvious assets well concealed , perhaps too well ... anyway, i liked her a lot ... lets see more of her.

I really liked this film. It was passable on all levels. Didn't go beyond being just good and passable. Brooklyn Decker is alright in this, not as hot as she could be. The main actor I like, I guess he plays the role well. And David Arquette revitalizes himself in this too.
The movie is about an office worker who gets dumped by his girlfriend, and turns to online dating. After a few encounters, he learns he loves his coworker.
The movie is alright. It's passable. It had the office worker aspect going for it. And it also has the trials and tribulations of dating in there. Makes for a good movie.
Would recommend

It said i would be blacklisted if i gave away the movie. so i promise i won't even talk about it.....
So there i was sitting at the keyboard and knowing i couldn't actually talk about the movie while reviewing it was kind of an exciting moment......
so i relate to the characters, because, well, i just broke up with my girlfriend.....is that a give away? maybe i should just stop here.....jeez.
i really liked it, the movie, not my relationship, i was a bit tentative when i started watching this movie....because I was worried I would see my new ex in all of the ladies...and I kinda did....but it made it fun....sort of....
I found myself laughing out loud, by myself, alone, just me.....oh god, maybe I should call someone......so I found myself at peace with everything, while it was on, and I'm okay with that for now.
It was a pleasure to watch, and enjoy, and to HAVE to laugh when i might not feel like it, is SO good for me.....I didn't even know I needed to, but I feel oddly better after watching it.
OK, maybe I should leave my number here, I am not into ya know, "blumpkin" either., in case you were thinking I was....I promise.....god, is that a give away.....never mind, I didn't mean it....I should go.....but I feel I will miss my new friends in this movie......its that good. I can finally relate...
That's all i dare say.....oh, and David Arquette has a bad rap, no he doesn't, but i must say, as much as he might deserve the rap, he does have star power. Is that a thing? Sounds astrological...in the movie.....he pulls it off, whatever they were going for, and even though I think most of his character's role got put on the floor, as in cutting room.....because the dude is barely in it, he is, but you don't have to dislike that he is, really....so get over yourself. If you are hater's, you can put away your hate shooters.....he does good, for the movie.....that's all I will say.
My first review...WOW, I finally did it, after, what 10 years....its been building up I guess.......so there ya have it. thanks for reading. I'm sorry if I didn't refer to the movie that much, I thought I shouldn't actually refer to it at all out of fear, the IMDb police might come a knocking.....Casual Encounter's is a stand alone work of cinema, fun fiction if you will. That I give it a thumb up. (or should i say two thumbs? I almost used a penis reference instead of my thumb, but didn't want to offend anyone. Or have you thinking it was small. Like a thumb, kinda by itself, without the other fingers next to it. Anyway, so I left it out {the reference, not my penis, really}.....shoot, I'm rambling...OK, i'm leaving now.)
P.S. They are pretty average thumbs i guess, as for, ya know, how thumbs go....after all. OK, I'm depressed again.....I wonder if I should consider thumb surgery? Now that's a scary thought. Anyway, the movie is good. Feel free to enjoy it. In fact maybe I will watch it again. So I don't have to be alone right now. OK, so, goodbye I guess, or whatever. Carry on. Maybe I shouldn't review anything else for awhile...or see if anyone like's my review?
