Prise au jeu

I can never understand critics ratings on Rom-Coms so I never really pay attention when it comes to these kind of movies. In my view, for these to work you have to have a strong talented female lead, good script and be creative with how the love transpires, even if you give some of the clues early. The lead actress, Gina Rodriguez was on point because she was cute, funny and human. Most of us regardless of age don't understand our own feelings and she eventually got it which I thought played out well with the script. Where they messed up with her is that I really never understood the reason for the "one night stand" process or maybe they didn't flush the reasoning out clearly. I think the male counterparts were weak because Mr. Lucifer didn't seem to fit the gorgeous, supposedly adult male part and Mr. Wyans seems to have good chemistry with Gina but his mood was to negative looking for some reason and he was pessimistic most of the time so the obvious was noticed early in the movie. I won't spoil anything by talking about the romance and love areas of the movie. I think these type stories should be short limited series, like 4-5 episodes to flush out all the back stories like the Koreans do with there kdramas, which are excellent at this kind of material.

Overall, good job by Gina Rodriguez and she pretty much carries this across the finish line!
