Love the comic twist to this unnaturally love story. The hiccups I found were in Anna Kendrick's character, Martha, not having a back story. She said she was a t-rex but it leads straight into her drinking and showing her insecurities, nothing about dinosaurs. No mention of her past, except her college friend saying Martha has regressed to college drunk Martha and when she tells Sam Rockwell's character, Francis, she could be a professor with her degree. Francis's past is told to us by others throughout the movie but Martha is portrayed as a crazy girl right up front without a set history. The plot is a bit confusing too. People hire Francis to kill people but he won't so he kills the people who hire him, cool. But then out of nowhere a mob family appears and they've killed a guy and try to explain it by having James Ransone's character, Vaughn, tell his buddy why they've killed him and what the whole plot of the rest of the movie. This is a no no in screen play writing from what I am learning...in writing for TV and FILM class in college. What Vaughn does is called forced exposition. Even when Vaughn did this, it made it even more confusing.
