A Great Lighthearted Romantic Drama
There are so many positives to this movie, I almost feel bad starting with the poster: it is so misleading!
You look at the poster and you thing this will be just one more of those crazy silly comedies. This couldn't be any farther from the truth.
This movie is deep and thoughtful, with intertwined stories very well connected and rooted in reality.
You watch it and it makes you feel all kinds of emotions:
In SUMMARY: an almost perfect script, filled with great actors, all very well cast on each role; you'll feel all the emotions and you'll be grateful that you have picked this film to watch at the end.

This movie is deep and thoughtful, with intertwined stories very well connected and rooted in reality.
You watch it and it makes you feel all kinds of emotions:
- there is a light comedy that makes you chuckle on many places and, best of all, it never feels forced.
- there is unlikely romances that you can't foresee how this could possibly happen, and it catches you by surprise slowly developing into something nice and beautiful without any of those "magic moments" that so often happen on rom-coms.
- there is also a bit of drama that makes you cry and feel deeply for the characters and move you along the progression of the story in a very natural way.
In SUMMARY: an almost perfect script, filled with great actors, all very well cast on each role; you'll feel all the emotions and you'll be grateful that you have picked this film to watch at the end.
