7/10
A likeable, easy watch.

Wow, this film really seems to polarize people. Everyone seems to have become hyper-critical about everything these days, if a film isn't the best film someone has seen they seem to rate it super low and trash it.

For me this was an enjoyable rom-com, sure it won't win an Oscar, but why would you want it to.

A funny-heartwarming tale of a fish out of water romance which hits most of the right notes for me when watching a light-hearted romantic comedy.

Beautiful scenery and a positive and cheerful message with many enjoyable characters, including the goat.

My wife and I enjoyed it's feel good message and came away from it feeling happier for having watched it.

Also a great look at New Zealand and it's culture, especially as found in the more rural areas of NZ. As someone who moved to NZ from abroad, I can say that the people are nice like that.

I think a lot of reviewers thought that such a friendly community was unbelievable, I feel sad for them if they are so jaded.
