Audience Member A mature relationship comedy where two strangers pretend to be engaged. Pretty standard set up but, unlike the typical American rom com which devolves into hysteria and melodrama, these characters stay within the bounds of credible behavior. The movie is all the better for that. Appropriate to a film about a soundtrack composer, the score is quite good as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member While it did try to be a unique and original movie I think it tried to hard at times. The film has that simple sweet love story that all comes together by the end and it makes you chuckle here and there. But it really isn't all together that different from most formulated mainstream rom comedies. The story-line and character aren't interesting enough to hold your attention for the whole amount of time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
