Like Crazy is a very straightforward trans-Atlantic idealised Hollywood romance - he designs furniture in L.A., she works for a London magazine - of which the trailer told almost all of the story and holds no surprises whatsoever. The film is basically a two-hander, and it is to the credit of Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin (two strong young performers) that they give the couple credibility and some charm, in spite of the romance's increasing naivete and narrative silliness. The unfussy direction and use of improvisation both help to give the film a reasonably natural feel, but the film overall, whilst pleasant and undemanding, does not really go anywhere.
