That was captivating, even for a film with a rather short runtime, it felt like I blinked and it was over. I really enjoyed several moments, the characters are unusual but very endearing, the soundtrack was fun, and I liked some of the cinematography.
I enjoyed it. But for a film to earn more than 3 stars from me, I feel it needs to offer something more. This was a fun, solid rom com, but to reach a 4 or 5, it would personally would like deeper themes, a more intricate plot, or a visually unique style. It doesn’t quite do any of that, so as a purely enjoyable watch, it caps out at a 3.
Perhaps, as I watch more films over time, I might even rank this one higher. It achieves exactly what it sets out to be. Maybe not every film needs complex character relationships, a winding plot with a legendary twist, or for every scene stylized to perfection. Sometimes, the best films are simply the fun one perfect for a casual watch.
