Clearly, a number of people like this movie. However several of us that just watched it disliked it a lot. It is likely a question of taste. Our concern with the movie was not the acting. I thought that the actors and actresses did a great job. Basically, we found the plot disturbing.
The problem is that the movie is billed as a romantic comedy, yet several of us saw very little romance in it plus we did not find a single line in it funny enough to be a comedy. Many people complain about violence in movies.
But I find that there is something worse than the standard gangster or war violence for movies and that is individual cruelty of one person to another. That personal level of cruelty to me seems more disturbing than normal violence, perhaps because it seems more immediately real. And this movie had some of that in it. Had the movie been billed as a drama and tragedy, we could have dealt with it better. If you are looking for a sweet romantic comedy to watch for a nice evening with your family, this movie likely is not it. Of course, then again, as we see in movie reviews, there are a lot of different tastes and it is clear that some people did like this picture.
There are other movies that seem to follow this same genre saying that they are romantic comedies but not everyone will see them that way. The 'Story of Us' was another movie billed as a romantic comedy that I could do without. 'Not for Everyone' would be my advice for 'She's the One'.
