Review of People Like Us

I don't think this movie deserves 7+ rating on IMDb and that's why I put a rating of 1. In reality it's a 5 star movie (out of 10) primarily because Hollywood is always trying to make a happy end even for illogical cases like the one this movie presented. ! SPOILER STARTS ! The guy was being a jerk and a liar (and that's his choice, I don't mind him being a one) and then, after he was thrown out by his sister from the apartment, he got immediately changed into a much better person, got his girlfriend back, made peace with his mother and established family ties with his sister and her son. So it's basically a fairy tale about an ugly duckling that became a beautiful swan in one day and w/o any intervention from Mother Nature. Pretty much on every front he succeeded and that what made me really upset. It's just not a realistic scenario so it's OK for movies like 2012 or Transformers but it's not OK for this movie that pretends to be a real life scenario. During a course of the movie I was thinking about how he would get away with all the lie he built up and I was really disappointed how easy he managed to settle down all the bad things he did.
