I'm not too sure what's wrong with this film. I usually like this kind of films but to this one, I couldn't pay attention ...

A nice film. Flimsy plot. Characters you actually route for. Not overly long!

A nice little rom-com coproduction by the Irish and Luxembourg a Film boards and starring Brian Gleeson son of Brendan as a likeable young Irish lad working at Dublin Airport customer services desk who is reunited with an old flame from the U.S. Played by Canadian actress Jessica Pare. As she has to spend the night in Dublin they agree to have a night on the town. One for a nice night in with your better half.

Love is nice, but comic foils have all the fun.

Film Ireland Magazine

Standby brings a breath of fresh air to the rom-com genre and leaves on it a decisively Irish stamp. A must watch.

For all Pare's toothy charms and Gleeson's good-natured bumbling, a tangible chemistry between them feels absent. More's the pity.

A sweet little movie that will have you rooting for the leads and stay with you once they've moved on.
