The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
