There is virtually nothing good about this movie. It had no charm. It had almost no plot. It wasn't funny. It wasn't well acted. The "connection" between the two romantic leads was about as believable as a unicorn falling in love with a giraffe.
Rom Coms aren't supposed to be the tightest movies of the cinematic sphere. The boy always gets the girl. Two people who deny their love always get together. Obstacles impede forward movement until they finally give way to the inevitable. That's the genre. We all know where it's going, and it never changes. That said, as a viewer, we should want to see the two romantic characters unite. We should care about their obstacles and yearn for them to wake up to the reality and possibility of the power of their togetherness. In this movie, I couldn't have cared less about everything. It's surprising, actually, because the cast is not a bunch of indie unknowns. I recognized every major character (except the female lead) by face, if not by name. The budget couldn't have been tiny. And yet, this was a movie with as much substances as Wonder bread, and was about as unappetizing at Wonder bread as well. Terrible acting. Terrible script. Terrible story. Not a single romantic moment. No chemistry. Idiotic tropes. The one thing I enjoyed was when the movie was over.
Rom Coms are notoriously terrible, because most of them are sloppily done for quick commercial release for mindless profit. Occasionally, if there are just a few redeemable qualities, Rom Coms can be fun to watch, if in the mood or late at night or if mourning the loss of a love. This movie, however, had almost nothing to make it worth even a look. Save yourself two hours. Avoid this like the plague. It's a waste of time. It's a waste of space. It's a waste of effort.
I've seen worse, but this movie is truly bad.
