Quinn, a neurotic man, is diagnosed with a harmless eye condition and soon after his life spirals out of control. He second-guesses his plans to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Devon, after his beautiful coworker, Kelsey, confesses that she has a crush on him. After a conversation with his best friend, Jameson, he clumsily tries to explain his doubts to Devon, but his possible proposal turns into a break-up. When Devon flees to Paris, he follows her in a last-ditch effort to win back "the one."
Acting
Simon Helberg's genuine panic—because he lived this.
Writing
Semi-autobiographical script co-written with his actual wife. Awkward.
Production
Paris looks gorgeous, almost worth the emotional destruction.
Director
Simon Helberg
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Simon Helberg and Jocelyn Towne are married in real life; she co-directed him playing a version of himself trying to win back a character based on her. The layers are infinite.
This bombed at 4.8/10 partly because audiences expected Big Bang comedy, not raw relationship autopsy disguised as rom-com.
