Seuls ensemble

Deserves more than its current IMDb rating.

It's a classic, chick flick, lazy Sunday afternoon watch & I enjoyed it.

The male lead is charming, the female lead is wounded/manipulated & the villain of the piece (not that there is a real villain) is self-centred & unaware.

Easy to follow, well written & acted. It's accessable stuff. Just what you want on a lazy day.

It's probably a 6, but, I gave it 7.

... it's an achievement getting through this romantic-drama without fast-forwarding many sections... there are just sooo many parts that either take forever getting anywhere, or large sections that are just completely predictable as to be intensely boring

... there's not anything tremendously off with any of the acting or the film's production values... it's just when there is entire control in the hands of just one individual, it can prove an issue as evidenced here... outside of having the pandemic as part of the storyline, and not an interesting part, this movie just seems empty.... smiling alot of the Katie Homes smile just isn't enough to make this worth the time.

I feel I have been a bit harsh on this film, as I did really enjoy watching I, and found it to be a bit better than reviews had me believe.

It wasn't a wholly original premise, although the Lockdown element added something fresh. I can understand this film isn't for those who like high action or a steady flow of punchy one liners.

However, despite the gentle pace, no huge peaks or troughs, and a pretty tame/simple concept, I was fully engaged throughout the film and thought it was very watchable. Yes, big things are ignored, or/& wrapped up/over before they're really ever a 'thing ', but I just liked being in the company of the characters and watching them navigate the pandemic with existing stresses and life situations.

I'd not deter anyone from watching this, and I appreciated most performances. But, its not something I'd rave about either. I think it's best being one of those films you stumped across and decide to give a try, and end up having a pleasant 90mins viewing experience.

I quite enjoyed this movie, it describes what went on and what people went through in the city. With all the awkward moments. I remmwber thinking it was going to be two weeks, then everything shutting down, remember not being able to hug my family, staying away from friends, my building not allowing friends to come for a meal, friends dying and hearing of people passing, and working all day and stepping outside for the 7pm cheer - in my opinion it's well done. And then getting better here and worse in other countries. And if it seems slow, that's because that's how those days were. Well done!

And the love story is a nice background, or the other way around.

It's not bad, the story is nice, and kind and warm in parts, but... there are so many cringe-worth moments in the movie that I had to watch in two parts (and I almost gave up).

It is apparent (to me, at least) that the script needed more iterations and finessing (to remove the cringe moments for starters).

Also, none of the "couples" had much chemistry, I think the movie would be much better off with slightly older (mature) male counterparts and a more relaxed and relatable relationship between them.

Maybe in a few more years, with proper distancing from the pandemic, a refined script and more time to proper audition and cast the 2 main male characters the movie could have been much better.
