Storyline
Young writer Sam has a crush on Birdie, the cute and quirky barista at his local coffee shop. When his conventional attempts to woo her crash and burn, he takes his efforts online, creating an Internet profile embellished with all of the details that would make him Birdie’s dream guy. When the harebrained scheme is a surprise success and Birdie falls for his exaggerated alter ego, Sam must keep up the act or lose his dream girl forever.

A self-aware laffer that indulges in rom-com contrivance up until the point it judo-flips them to its own ends.

The Dissolve
As contemporary romantic comedies go, it’s by no means an embarrassment, ranging from politely bland at its worst to very nearly inspired at its best. It could have been so much more, though, had its makers been prepared to grapple with the genuinely thorny, surprisingly incisive idea at the movie’s center.

A Case of You is perfectly enjoyable as far as indie rom coms go — just not particularly original.
42
The movie is about as generic as modern romantic comedies get.
40
While this unrelentingly midtempo movie milks Brooklyn for its chic, it manages to denude it of its color.
