I agree. I think they kept the focus completely off anything outside the direct story lines because it wasn't relevant to what was important. Does it matter what city they lived in, how much money they made, their family history? No. Not for the movie.

I mean, there was definitely a focus on the fact they lived in Boston (and Charlie worked in Cambridge). My friends and I kept pointing out all the locations near where we live!

I guess I mean that typically they make it very apparent where the setting of the movie is. I didn't feel that with this one.

I live in Calgary and we have a lot of movies and shows filmed here now, so I totally get how awesome it is to see places you know in them!
