The Irish-born actress Katie McGrath is in movie industry terms "so hot right now"... The less said about her new movie, however, the better.

Rated: 1/5

Guardian

Both the blandest of romcoms and a film about film-making that displays zero feel for the way films are made.

Rated: 2/5

The script is so contrived, predictable and utterly cringeworthy that it is hard to care whether the two lovebirds will fly off into the sunset together.

Rated: 1/5

Sweet story although not put together well. Scenes are disjointed, but the story is predictable. Still, it's a very enjoyable watch.
