Luke and Kate are co-workers at a Chicago brewery, where they spend their days drinking and flirting. They're perfect for each other, except that they're both in relationships. Luke is in the midst of marriage talks with his girlfriend of six years, and Kate is playing it cool with her music producer boyfriend Chris. But you know what makes the line between "friends" and "more than friends" really blurry? Beer.

This funny movie is an unsung/under-appreciated indie hero. Set in a Chicago brewery, it's a simple tale of two beer-lovers (played by Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson) who spend most of their days flirting, even though they both have significant others. It's a sweet story and also a really simple one – so simple it didn’t even have a real script, director Joe Swanberg just let his actors improvise.

I enjoyed the movie and the characters although it was maybe a bit slow overall. Don't come in expecting a Hugh Grant style romantic comedy because even though it has some big names it is not at all a typical Hollywood film. The movie is like a collection of very "real" moments with normal people. It's definitely not for everyone and I probably wouldn't say its a great movie but I'd watch it again.

What a great little gem of a movie. I really wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did, but this ended up being one of my favorite films for the year 2013. Now, if only we were able to buy the movie rather than have to rent it over and over again!!!
