3/5
It is always a pleasant surprise when a filmmaker decides to make a romantic comedy in which the focal points are middle-aged people. Go to Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT 02/08/2022
It is always nice to see a romantic comedy that is wiling to go beyond the confines of twenty and thirty somethings. There is a lot to like about the film, though odd pacing and a lack of emotional impact are noticeable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

А. С Dec 22 Could have been written in any country. That’s why the story is universal and finally someone made it! This is why Holiwood sucks. (Deliberate misspelling as they do not deserve to be spelled properly). Precisely because of the “paradigm”. See more Jeremy L 01/30/2024 Fabulous acting. Solid entertainment. See more b 01/19/2024 It's listed as a delightful comedy. Nope. It's a clunky compilation of a parallel of Romeo and Juliet with The Office style side interviews. The cast is very good but it completely fails to be a comedic tragedy or a dramatic comedy because it doesn't commit to either. The real tragedy is that they could have made a really great movie but you end up frustrated and angry at everyone for messing up their own lives. See more Read all reviews
