      Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media A banal, humorless, overlong attempt at romantic comedy that fails on almost every level, from depictions of rural citizens as moronic and easily goaded into comic violence all the way to suggesting that a reserve of bogwood can save a company. Rated: 2/5 Apr 25, 2022 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation You can see possibilities here and there, but for the most part, this “Shrew(d)” bogs down in the details.

      peter M Woowww this movie was so poor ,it was a challenge to finish it. Probably with original language might give a little more back. But the English translation was seriously poor. I mean who talks like that? I do not even talking about the acting , each character so overplayed like you watching a Bollywood parody in a European environment. Literally everyone angry ,and impatient. The scenes super unrealistic , but not the comic way when you feel thats fine at least is funny. Save yourself for this Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review ashley s A waste of time and a destruction of the supposedly rom-com movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It was bad, really bad. The plot is extremely bland and predictable. The characters are pretty childish, it feels as if they behave like teenagers, not adults throughout the movie, each and every one of them. Confess it, you only wanted to see it because of the six-pack of the leading actor. That's all this movie offers: eye candy. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Love watching the scenery of different countries with a 4k UHD tv, it's like travelling without leaving the comforts of your own home or exposing yourself to Covid-19 in a country where your travel insurance for health is not honored because your country has put travel bans everywhere you want to go. Unlike the previous Wyrmwood movie I just watched, the quality of the picture is fantastic in this movie...it's the finer details you see that makes watching low picture quality flicks unbearable to watch now. Like eating delicious home cooked food, then having to go back to canned food that may or may not be expired sitting in your pantry for God knows how long. I am assuming this film is shot in Poland, the landscape with the mountains and valleys look awfully like what the lower mainland of BC in Canada looks like though but the housing architecture is very different. It's much better watched in the original Polish with English subtitles, it sounds more natural and you aren't distracted by the lip synching though you have to be able to read which some people find too much an effort to do these days. Polish sure sounds like Russian though to the untrained ear. I find foreign film directors have very different styles in making a movie and to watch the subtle differences in them doing so makes it worth watching for that experience alone.
