Neil, a self proclaimed film geek and owner of Gumshoe video, has always been content to live vicariously through his favorite films noir. But when he meets Violet, a real-life femme fatale, his mundane world gets turned upside down and the line between reality and the movies quickly begins to blur.

I loved it! The style, the story, the quirkiness. Lucy & Cillian were perfectly adorable.
Really underrated romcom, one of my favourite couples
It’s a weird comfort movie, typical manic pixie dream girl meets brooding closed off boy. It’s pretty cute tho. And funny
I'm impressed that this rom-com doesn't check all the saturated plots of rom-coms, not the greatest, but still a fun watch!
Thought I'd hate it, turned out very amusing
I typically hate romantic comedies, but this one? I love this one. Finally, something unique.
Surprisingly good and original rom-com for the time. Slightly more twisted take on the manic-pixie-dream girl. I really enjoyed it!
The goofiest most bizarre of rom-coms. A light hearted must watch.
