It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I guess we never know why people act the way they do. No one can judge.

The film is nothing groundbreaking or new to the genre it falls under, however what it lacks in originality it makes up for in the acting and cinematography. The narrative is nothing original and it won't revolutionise the genre, however it is nothing less than beautiful, each element from the soundtrack to the shots chosen to the actors themselves seem to anchor well to the narrative curating an enjoyable journey about a generic couple of which the female protagonist seeks to find another person for the male protagonist. The power of this bond and community between all of the elements mean that the majority of viewers will be left with a tear in their eye. However I digress the film is not flawless, providing it exemption from the generic which has been identified in other reviews, the film is slow and lacking in some places and certain key events seem brushed over; a greater focus on these events would of likely made this film at least an 8*. The slowness of certain points does little to hamper the overall film however it is still identifiable and may leave a bad taste in some viewers mouths. Overall the film is a beautifully crafted product however its much alike a beautifully crafted table which has been manufactured for mass distribution. It is beautiful yet generic and leaves a positive impact but not a lasting legacy.

Love this movie. Best Netflix original romance yet! Not a cliche romance about cancer. Has the F word and the beginning scene has the two main characters under the covers kissing fully clothed but other than hat no other scenes.

It's not a bad film. It's definitely watchable and I did get a little teary towards the end, so I wouldn't call it soul-less either. It just doesn't have enough soul and it doesn't have enough originality.In fact, I've recently come up with a category of films that this would totally fit into. It's called "scripts that could have been written by an AI". A successful AI mind you - one that has been fed every produced script on the same topic, but also one that cannot produce anything genre-defying or ground-breaking. So here's the recipe it operates on:-Take the "Love Story" (the 1970 film) premise (as used by a million other films between then and now).Add a specific take and tension to the story, as previously done by films like "My Life Without Me" (2003)-Create good chemistry between two stereotypical protagonists (the "loveable and deceptively sexy nerd" male and the "strong, funny, and beautiful" female)Add the sidekicks: the "mischievous, promiscuous, but supportive best mate", the "(much older, quirky, and wisecracking) unlikely friend", the "overbearing but still loving" mother, plus a couple more distinct-enough-but-not-too-memorable-so-as-not-to-overshadow-the-protagonists characters.Make the photography and styling InstagrammableAdd a pleasant soundtrackCast a veteran actor in the old-but-quirky role-Cast a hunk recognisable from an extremely popular TV series to attract the fandom-Lightly sprinkle on top with quotable wisdoms about the meaning of life and deathAnd there you have it. Served lukewarm on Netflix.
