Accept that it's a fantasy rom com and it's likeable enough.
I like this movie despite it's flaws. Yes it has supernatural fantasy elements. So what? Not a /the problem.
The story is formulaic - boy and girl meet, hit it off, connect, problems, guess the rest. The twist: not so twisty destiny element. Fairy god-crab? LOL. Ok I can roll with it. The crab was cute. Magical food. Sure. Mystical fog. Ok. It's a movie, so if one can suspend reality for other fantasy films, you can for this.
I felt there was potential to be more and better. But the occasional cringe lines couldn't be saved by the decent actors.
The two main characters , plus the three main supporting characters, are all likeable and fun. There were moments of great connection between them all.
But there was some dodgy script and dialogue. It really let it down. There were some plot holes but it's clearly not intended for the Oscars.
Verdict: There's better rom coms out there for your time. But if you are a SMG fan, or a diehard for rom coms, go for it.
