So I've been a fan of Leighton Meester since the Roommate movie, and I've only recently become a fan of Robbie Arnell (because of the Upload show on Prime Video--I love that show!)
I also happen to love romcoms where both the leads are good looking, don't we all?? Lol I think that Robbie and Leighton have decent chemistry in this film. Not as good as Robbie's chemistry with Andy in Upload.
There are a lot of funny moments in this movie and honestly, it bounces all over the place, plot wise, but essentially remains a comedy. I'm really shocked that such a serious scene was included in a film like this. The supporting cast was great and had me wishing I had a family like this by the end! The ending scene (not the sister scene but the family running scene) was really funny.
I didn't really feel like Robbie's calks with his job were believable and so by the end of the film, I didn't even care. Maybe if we were shown his boss getting angry on the other line or on a zoom call, it would've felt like there were more stakes. We only ever see Robbie working in his laptop like ONCE!
I don't think this film was meant to be taken too seriously. It's a film that knows what it is and just asks its audience to sit back and have some laughs.
