This is a rom com, so one cannot expect an oscar winning script or a Christoper Nolan universe.

However I found the film nicer and more relatable than usual, due to the leads being plus 45, but without stereotypes or actors/actresses who have undergone too many cosmetic surgeries.

It felt real, with the struggles of a woman who does not realise how unhappy she is until reality hits her in the face. Also the scenery was beatiful, and the fact that people talked in German, English, Croatian and with real accents, made it more real than the usual Hollywood rom coms.

I found the "Macron" reference and jokes specially funny.

This movie is so fresh and cute just real, plus funny.

The actors are great, the story is familiar but still different.

I like that it is a romance about 40+ people and is just so Croatian with jokes and the way Bogdan, as Josip behaves it is so typical but in a good way. The island is, of course, beautiful; colors, people, food, flowers and the atmosphere is very island-like.

It is just feel good, relax and have a good time movie with very good actors.

I gave it 10 because as a Croatian I'm very happy with this movie's representation of people and land usually is just klishes used for all East European countries but not this movie. Go check it out!

I enjoyed this movie because the lead actress was a mature woman who looked her age with a few extra pounds and wrinkles , provingthat you can attract a man without botox and a slim body. I hadnever heard of Naomi Krauss but found her portrayal of the taken for granted wife and mother captivating. I can truly understand how the handsome Bogdan fell for her. Yes, there are many cliches but overall it was a refreshing feel good movie with fine performances and absolutely gorgeous scenery. Enjoyed it so much that I would love to see a sequel! Maybe its not Shakespeare but this chick flick was entertaining and fun.

The story is cute, the views are absolutely wonderful, but what I really loved about this movie was that they took a real woman to play the role, not trying to look younger or perfect, just a normal woman showing a normal body and her wrinkes. It makes women like her, to feel good about theirselves and believe that they are also worth of having a new love story in their lives.

The actor is very charming but also not perfect, has a beer belly which for most of women is not important. Usually the men are the ones who want perfect look women.

The soundtrack is also very nice. The movie has some funny parts that will make you laugh.

Zeynep just lost her mother and on her funeral day, she gets to know about a house her mother had bought in Croatia. On the same day, she realizes how she is taken for granted by her ignorant family and to top it, the husband cheating on her. This pushes her to the extreme where she instantly decides moving to the house in Croatia, her mother had bought. It is there she meets Josip, his ways to make her value the house she wants to sell and she truly understanding her mother which helps to seek her own happiness.

This indeed was a truly heartwarming watch, neatly performed by everyone. The comic tone adds the extra layer to this multilingual rom-com which made the whole subplot involving Zeynep realizing her roots in Croatia all the more special. The chemistry between Zeynep and Josip was another highlight. With stunning visuals, this simple story truly runs high on human emotions and the crazy yet funny final act stands out in the way all the issues are sorted out without going overboard.
