I like the concept and the movie is watchable but it could've been better.
Chris Evans and Michelle Monaghan star in the quirky romantic comedy Playing It Cool. The story follows a struggling screenwriter who falls for a young woman at a charity gala and attempts to formulate a friend that soon grows into something more. Evans and Monaghan have good chemistry together and handle the comedy quite well. However, most of the jokes are hit and miss; particularly the reoccurring gag of Evans imagining himself in the stories that people tell him. Additionally, a lot of the characters are underdeveloped; which hurts the plot. While it delivers some laughs, overall Playing It Cool is a rather formulaic and uninspired comedy.

Fun and quirky romantic comedy. Evans and Monaghan play off each other well. Evans is such a great lead. Good supporting cast as well full of stars you'd at least recognise. I've seen some boring rom coms lately. This wasn't one of them.
