Deb G Nice light movie and it kept me watching unlike a lot of other movies I turn off half way through. Liked the premise for a Rom-Com. Not sure if it was in the writing or directing but I couldn't help but think it had a lot of unrealized potential. It seemed to be missing something to help really follow & understand the main character's emotional journey or thought process. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review Ryan B Completely unwatchable even during a time I was happily binging the very worst of modern rom coms. I feel like it’s important to mention that I caught this on TV towards the end of a brutal ten day illness that found me stuck in a hotel room with only slightly more than basic cable for comfort. And during those two weekends the networks seemingly colluded to air nothing but J. Lo rom-coms, none of which I’d ever seen and all of which I found surprisingly watchable in my less than lucid, feverish state. And then came this one. I didn’t get 20 minutes in before I had to turn it off. Two dimensional characters would have been an improvement, to say the least.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Sarah T I don't know what to make of this movie. The main character wavers between allowing herself to be treated like absolute garbage, and treating others like absolute garbage. This behavior is threaded with rhetoric about feminism, and by the end of the movie it seems to be saying that feminism is allowing yourself to be treated horribly so that one day you might find a guy who won't? I'm not sure. I'm not sure the movie is sure. The only thing the movie seemed certain of is that '80s movies are problematic but some people still love them. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Ooo M This movie was less of a romantic comedy and more or a romantic tragedy.
