This was definitely a fun and entertaining story to read. The dialog was punchy and witty. The structure flowed nicely and was well paced.
The story is one several people can relate to. We've all had that person from the opposite-sex that we wanted a relationship with, but ended up getting stuck in the "friend-box"; if this isn't you, then you're probably the heart-breaker that's pounding the last nail into the "friend coffin". However, the characters in this story pretty much became life-long friends out of necessity with no genuine love interest for the other -- or at least any feelings that were conscious to them.
It was entertaining to watch these sexual-repressed, support buddies bust out of that dreadful "friends-only prison" and acknowledgment their love-interest towards each other. We should all be so lucky.
Although the visual effects were great, I really didn't land on the reason I should go to a theater to see this. The title implies that there's some grand sophisticated plot, but needs more suspense.

Great read.
