    Bad, But I Loved It

    Totally sappy, cheesy, silly, but sometimes you need a movie like that, right? This had me laughing at quite a few moments, because it really was sooo sappy. It's kitsch, but you should totally watch it on a night where you are entirely ambivalent to what you watch, and you think to yourself, why not? If my rating was based purely on the enjoyment I received from this movie, it would be much higher.

    Heartwarming

    We loved this. Watched it with my 6yr old. Was feeling a bit cranky before but all happy & chilled after. A good wholesome film. Yes it's cheesy, but that's what we signed up for & it's also funny! Loved the goat

    No chemistry whatsoever

    I love romcoms but there was absolutely zero chemistry between the actors. Even the last kiss, it was just awkward! Why do you win an inn by just clicking an email and writing an essay. Best acting by Charlotte and the goat. Plus: the scenery of NZ.

    Sweet love story

    I have to wonder if the other reviewers have ever watched a romantic comedy. A health relationship takes months to curate not just a weekend. I enjoyed the lead character. The balance of male and female characters without one being dominated over the other.

    Oh come on. It wasn't that bad.

    Without comparing this film to every romcom ever made; and this coming from a homegrown kiwi, it was good in its own right. Love the use of the kiwi lingo and hows the film represents kiwi lifestyle in the "wopwops", as we like to say. It was relatable and culturally respectful, which made up for the not-so "bad acting" as everyone likes to point out.

    • Trivia
      The high street of Beechwood Downs was filmed on location in a town called Thames, 1.5 hours from Auckland. In one shot, the name "Thames" is visible on a shopfront on the side of the screen.
    • Goofs
      When eating her sausage on bread sandwich, Gabriela very weirdly and conspicuously takes bites of ONLY the bread. This is because actress Christina Milian is vegetarian.
