Un pequeño contratiempo

Describing this as a romantic comedy may not quite fit this film, however, its as close to a genre description you may get. Perhaps the first half of the movie is frustrating as each scene seems to be a repeat of the previous and the movie doesn't seem to be progressing. It then transfers from being comedy to drama but still it makes no sense. But when the movie enters its final phase it becomes a beautiful story and all the previous parts fall into place. Whilst it maybe difficult people should persist with the film and reach what is a beautiful ending.

Long Story Short was hilarious, sweet and at times a little sad and touching.

It had a very small cast, but they were all great.

Rafe Spall was hilarious in what felt like a scene that ran for almost the entire movie yet was never boring or slow. He pulled off both the comedy and the tragedy of his character with his usual brilliance.

Zahra Newman and Ronny Chieng were perfect in their supporting roles, bringing a lot of emotion to the story and their characters.

Noni Hazlehurst and Dena Kaplan were both wonderful with strong portrayals of their characters despite having only a few scenes each.

Josh Lawson has done a great job with this quirky little film which he wrote and directed and appears in briefly.

It was refreshingly nice to see an Aussie made film that never focused on the fact that it was Australian. This really could've been set anywhere, but the NSW coastal setting was still very much appreciated.

A solid rom com which tackles the "curse with a lesson" device in its own unique way and succeeds. Highly recommend.

I watched this movie with my wife and the both of us enjoyed it quite a bit. There were some nice funny parts, the 2 leads did a great job and I really enjoyed the story. It is so true that as humans we have a hard time grasping the true value of something until it is lost. The parts with Sam in the future made me a bit sad but I really enjoyed this movie and gave my wife a big kiss after.

For a comedy romance, I won't think this is topnotch, this movie totally shouldn't classify as this kind. Snapshot of 10 years in 30 mins is the ground of the story. We are busy for living, ignore the details, miss the precious time with closed ones, I feel is what the writer research many elder life stories. For a middle age man, I can't disagree so much about the blueprint and feel everyone should makes all our regrets controllable whatever it takes. That's not difficult, watch this movie makes you know how things can be done properly. This is not just a comedy but so many life physiology inside.

Not my genre usually but after several glasses of wine I actually enjoyed it.

The acting was excellent, the story was good and kept me entertained even if you could second guess what the next scene was likely to be.

It was entertaining, don't try to analyze it too much.
