The film's ending was indeed a happy moment, but not in the intended manner.

Guardian

That convention-flouting title misleads: this winsome affair lags lamentably close to the modern romcom average.

Rated: 1/5

Time Out

This Scottish romcom is a great advert for Glasgow, but it delivers an awful warning to filmmakers about shooting a script that's seriously unready.

Rated: 1/5

It's main problem in truth stems from the fact that Gillan and Webber have no spark between them whatsoever.

Brit romcom about writer's block has brief nudity, cliches.

Shadows on the Wall

The cast gives it what they can, but they are underserved by choppy direction and a simplistic script that never breaks the surface.
