- Tagline Ally's looking for the best ex of her life
Can 19 wrongs make Mr. Right? When Ally Darling reads an article that leads her to believe she’s going to be alone forever, she begins a wild search to find the best “ex” of her life. But Ally’s quest to reconnect with her former lovers goes hilariously awry, from a puppeteer who’s more wooden than his puppet to a gynecologist with a spotty memory. Through it all, Ally might just find the man of her dreams in the last place she ever expected.

| 26:28 | This film wouldn’t work without Facebook. |
| 27:37 | She has a keyboard imprinted on her face, how have they done that? |
| 33:30 | Assuming he is her future boyfriend, and that is a safe bet, it’s weird that he’s going to know all about her exes. |
| 36:32 | “Well, he clearly doesn’t understand what Facebook is for.” |
| 40:08 | Two of her exes live next door to each other? Small world! |
| 41:19 | That is the worst English accent ever. I love it. |
| 43:06 | My Fair Lady reference is the best bit of the film so far. |
| 47:41 | “It just feels like this quest you’re on is a little nuts.” Indeed so. |
| 51:21 | Segways! |
| 52:04 | “Looking at somebody’s playlist is like reading their diary.” |
| 1:00:31 | “Just because it’s dark doesn’t mean you have to whisper.” |
| 1:09:18 | Why does being married mean you know about fonts? |
| 1:12:22 | She is completely irrational and I want to punch her in the face. |
| 1:18:39 | Is it wrong that I am still pondering how she did that hair extension trick. I don’t know much about hair. |
| 1:24:28 | Ah, just what I needed to turn this film around… a wedding. |
| 1:29:00 | Her little sculptures. God, what does she see in that guy? |
| 1:34:35 | Bit of Honda product placement there. |
| 1:37:17 | Well, I like that, it’s the first rational thing she’s said in ages. |
| 1:38:28 | She’s ruined his show! That’s not romantic, that’s evil. |
| 1:41:51 | That’s Natasha Bedingfield again, isn’t it! Is she actually employed by Hollywood? |
Thoughts
I’ll admit, I wasn’t too keen on watching this one, but we had a double movie night and I was already sitting down. Let’s go!
Oh how I hated it. Granted, I wasn’t exactly coming into it expecting great things but it was worse than I could have imagined. It was very similar to Bad Teacher, in respect of the fact that the lead character was completely hideous, so that I didn’t think she deserved the happy ending. I didn’t particularly want to watch her get it. There were just two redeeming moments, one with the My Fair Lady Mention - and Martin Freeman was fun - and the moment she pondered whether she shouldn’t have just waited in his apartment. A fabulous bit of self-awareness, that the rest of the film was sadly lacking.
