If you love your light hearted romance, or, RomComs (I don't really understand that. Because they are really comedic, but a few laughs along the way) then I think you will love this.
I think it was well written, well thought out, quite clever, without trying TOO hard to be the smartest ever. You know? They didn't over complicate it all.
A great movie, to snuggle up with the one you love, after a hard day at work, or to relax with on a quiet Sunday.
Great, light hearted romance has been a little lacking lately. Possibly due to COVID? But this one was simply wonderful.
Ok, so, like most, it was slightly predictable and has been done before in different guises and budgets, different actors, different places.
But it was unique enough to stand up and stand out.
The actors were all great and believable as their characters. Very much so. So, you can sort of be a fly on the wall, really watching it unfold. Almost be part of it. Absolutely no complaints about any of them. The chemistry was there with all of them.
Together with the whole team of crew and people involved, should consider this, a great product, well wrapped, nicely polished, sound was great, with no music louder than the talking (I hate that) no hollow echo, lighting was natural and worked to improve the movie, rather than trying to be noticed.
One small thing that didn't work for me. Which is ironic, considering the characters job. The make up was really awful in places, for the mail lead. We were joking about him being a cage fighter in his down time and needed to cover the cuts and bruises! I don't know if he had been unwell and pale maybe? The make up was so heavy, we thought maybe it was COVID, so make up had to work from a distance and put it on a spade and throw it at him from 10 feet away.
Because of the overall quality of this movie, I guess there must of been a reason and I apologise if my little dig causes offence! Not that anyone will read this, especially not people in the movies!
I gave it a 9/10 because it was excellent overall. But the predictable story, while comfortable and still enjoyable, something completely different would be a brave and risky, it would be refreshing.
Really really great film. Gentle, clever, well polished and presented, great sound and light, character, storytelling, everything was almost perfect. But is perfect even possible?
