User Review

Great movie – funny, romantic and poignant

Rating: 10/10


From the majority of other comments written about this film, it would
seem that there are a lot of bitter, cynical people out there.

I watched this film last night with my wife and we both loved it – we
laughed a lot, and thought the 2 main characters perfectly complimented
each other – their chemistry was wonderful and utterly endearing, and
you actually gave a sh*t about what happened to them.

Maybe I'm a sucker for a good romantic comedy, but I'm astounded by the
negative comments posted on this site. Some posts criticise the
dialogue, but, well, isn't that just how people actually speak? I
generally do not give out lengthy monologues re: my emotional state,
and can appreciate a movie that deals in real language. It doesn't make
the film any less appealing or worthwhile.

Go and see it with an open mind and, if you have a heart, then you'll
love it.
