Aug 3, 2019 I'm getting kind of a late start with it, but after watching it, I enjoyed it, and thought the way things worked out is pretty realistic, and that it would definitely be relatable, not just for young women, but young men as well in the same situation. over all good movie, even if it is a bit corny.
