I dislike rom coms for some very good reasons. There is rarely good chemistry between leads, there's always a childish huff involved, there's usually a cheating or suspected cheating that goes on, they're not really romantic.
This story is boy meets girl, they fall in love, fate parts them but they manage to get back together.
It's a beautiful, fabulous story, a true romance. I actually believed in every character on screen and could relate to many of the scenes. All rom coms should follow this path from now on.
The acting from everyone is sublime (Haley Lu Richardson always is), the dialogue is never cheesy, the photography is beautiful and the direction smooth and brilliantly paced. The narrator constantly popping up is a great idea and Jamil makes this work so well.
This is one of the best rom coms ever made, I love it.

95% of all romcoms are irritating. This is one of the 5%
The perfect remedy for a tough day.
It has been a while since I've watched a rom-com and this was a lovely way to get back into it. I was taken away by the chemistry between Haley Lu Richardson and Ben Hardy in this film. I absolutely loved them both and hope to see them on screen together again. Some great work done from casting to performance and soundtrack to deliver every emotion possbile to us and this film is indeed an emotional rollercoaster but very much worth it. Every tear, every laugh and everything in between.. so so so worth it.
While some might call it "cheesy," it's cheesy in a good way.
Give it a watch when you need a pick-me-up!
Predictably clear cut yet still heartwarming
There's no sort of twist in here you just go with the flow where you know the ending goal will be. The journey is what makes it good. It's simple, direct, and wholesome. No wishy washy drama. It has a quiet tone to it. It's like looking at a fire while huddled in your blanket and drinking your cocoa for the thousand time.
I was touched by a certain part of the plot since I can very much relate to it and I thought it was done quite well. The acting is believable. The song helped move it along.
The main characters are nice and sweet. Their lines were heavily dosed on cheesiness partnered with good chemistry and overall everything just screamed wholesome and fluffy...which really that's all I ask for when I'm strapped in my cheesy rom com mood.
