Losing Control

Losing Control is a 2011 American romantic comedy film written, produced and directed by Valerie Weiss about a female scientist who wants proof that her boyfriend is "the one."

The film, in its defense, is far too vacuous to be accused of having any kind of agenda—it just happens to get its politics wrong along with everything else.

We're told that Losing Control is "loosely based on Weiss's own experiences," but it would be more accurate to say that it's heavily based on Weiss's own experiences watching terrible movies.

[5]From John Anderson, in Variety: You can't lose what you never had, and while "Losing Control" is a thoroughly likable, playful comedy, there's never a sense that writer-director Valerie Weiss is in total command of film's tone, pacing or comic content, which is considerable.

[6]From Steven Rea in The Philadelphia Inquirer: Losing Control nicely mixes comedic absurdity with weightier career vs. commitment themes.
