More than you would expect
I liked the chemistry that was between the two main characters and the fact that they would eventually end up together was a little prominent, but the storyline was much better than what you would expect just from the title of the movie alone.
It's nothing too complicated or twisted, but I feel like it's a good enough of a movie to watch on a lazy day and it also left a good feeling in you afterwards. I would recommend if you're looking for nothing too sensitive or serious, just some good swapped movie to watch.
Standard Rom Com formula but very charmingly done
Predictable and Cliche but overall cute
Probably a 6 but I watched it on a good day...
It's the same. But the same is good for me
Did you know
- GoofsWhen designing the app for Brooks, Murph says "Object C Infrastructure." A real developer would never refer to a programming language this way. It's also clear that he's using VSCode to write the app, which is unusual for a developer writing an iPhone app. Most likely they would have used Xcode on a Mac.
- Quotes
Lady with Brooks Walking: You want to know how you can tell if you're meant to be with someone? Just sit and have a conversation. Some people, when you talk to them it's like trying to listen to classical music on a radio with no antenna. You can push that dial back and forth all you want, but you only get the static. But when you're meant to be with someone, and they truly are the one, you just sit, start talking and a Beethoven sonata will begin to play.
