We know technically this isn’t a romance movie but – being us – we can’t help putting our two cents in on the relationship. Our first instinct on this was to give it two well manicured thumbs down – he’s been burned by her and although he’s willing to forgive we figured once he moves to Boston it will eventually fizzle out.  And frankly we found his behavior a little childish. Granted she left him hanging a lot, but they agreed she was going to put in her year of dues and that it was going to be a tough. There were several times we wanted to tell him to just grow the hell up.

But after giving it more consideration we started having second thoughts. Although Andy pretty quickly trades in her values for Versace we’ll go with the idea that underneath it all she’s still a decent person who eventually learns that life is about more than labels. And we have to think that Nate has a bit more drive than his granola persona lets on; anyone trying to make it as a chef in a big city probably has a few ambitions of his own. So it’s possible that they’re not all that different from each other and can make a good go of it. As a potential journalist and chef, both of them are pursuing careers that are creative, that could ultimately allow them to be their own bosses, and that theoretically they can do anywhere.

We didn’t get a fantastic chemistry vibe out of these two, but we can see them being one of those couples that has an interesting life together. Best of all, he won’t care if she doesn’t always look her best.
