      Audience Member promising premise that fails to deliver thanks to irrelevant side story lines, unappealing characters and a totally predictable ending. melanie lynskey could have chosen a better film to make her NZ comeback with... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I knew it would be cute and it didn't disappoint. It's got the best quote I've ever heard...."My head feels like it's been deep fried in the Colonel's secret recipe" Nice piece of work and a good twist at the end! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice little romantic comedy from New Zealand. Melanie Lynskey (Heavenly Creatures) makes a very charismatic lead in a likeable role. Quirky characters make for a colourful story, but ultimately the finale becomes predictable and falls kinda flat. Still, I'm all for supporting film from my native New Zealand and for a mindless afternoon on the couch, you can't go far wrong with this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A slow movie but not bad at all! I quite like it =] brought up some deep thinking Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
