Leah McKendrick was inspired by the love she has for her own sister in telling this story. She has a solid foundation and vision for her film. It’s not just an easy rom-com but also a meditation on death, grief and moving on. Go to Full Review

Mattie D @Sunflowermovielover554 6h I think this movie captured sisterhood so well. The guy falling in love with her through the voicemails just shows how powerful a charismatics personality can be on other people. I also love the fact that it wasn't like she was waiting on this great love, she was just longing for the bond her and her sister shared which she ultimately found out was impossible. The move on scene perfectly summed up the whole story and left her with a new beginning. Definitely would recommend for a cry and a laugh. See more Janet B @JunoB 7h It was ok, watchable - there was some clever dialog - but then even that petered out - if it was 20 minutes shorter, it would have been better. Male lead didn't have that much to do and he wasn't funny or witty. See more Jessica. S @Jessibaby 12h Absolutely Amazing movie. I loved the story line, the acting was on point. Very good script. A real feel good movie, makes you want to believe in love again. I loved it!!!!! I can't wait to rewatch it. See more Joseph M @RTX440 1d Romcom of the year, will leave you in tears!! And im a 6'4" 250lb country boy, we dont cry !!! Lol See more MCCB T @RT80046346 2d I have tried to get through this movie multiple times but just couldn't. The writing is horrendous. The characters are so annoying and the whole food truck business obviously had no thought put into it. A trained chef putting ice cream on store bought tortilla chips and then topping it with popcorn is the revolutionary idea?? See more Kathryn B @RT569053218 3d This movie is actually quite good (especially by Netflix romcom standards). It did well to emulate that kind of 90s romcom that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan would’ve starred in. They reference You’ve Got Mail actually in the movie so they are clearly aware of this.
