I Give It a Year is a 2013 romantic comedy film, written and directed by Dan Mazer in his directorial debut.

Ambitious advertising executive Nat and struggling writer Josh, experience love at first sight at a party.

Their wedding goes smoothly despite many friends commenting the marriage will not last, an embarrassing best man's speech, and a coughing priest.

When Nat returns to work after the honeymoon, she is tasked with a presentation for Guy, an American who is rebranding his solvent business.

Changing the topic to Chloe, Josh's former flame, Nat discovers they had not split before her four year Africa stint.

At Christmas, Nat discourages Josh from attending her work party so she can flirt with Guy, but he annoyingly insists.

Looking for Nat's Christmas present in a lingerie shop, Chloe has Josh help fasten a bra.

The night ends with all four leaving together and Nat telling Guy she needs to discuss work with him, while Josh helps Chloe hail a taxicab.

The website's consensus for the film reads, "It's nowhere near as inventive as its reverse rom-com premise might suggest, but I Give It a Year is disarmingly frank -- and often quite funny.

"[6] Stephanie Merry of The Washington Post wrote "In addition to some trite set pieces, writer-director Dan Mazer serves up nothing more than conspicuous cynicism masquerading as comedy.

"[7] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote: "The result is funny and plausible, with a fair bit of newly modish Bridesmaidsy bad taste, though I kept getting the sense that the romcom template meant Mazer couldn't really let rip with pure comedy pessimism and cynicism in the way he might have liked.

"[8] Olly Richards of Empire wrote: "The jokes are strong and delivered by a very talented cast, but the heart isn't there.
