One of the best films i have seen
... View Moregood back-story, and good acting
... View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
... View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
... View MoreThe movie follows Lucy, an offensive stereotype of an autistic woman (which I can only assume was unintentional since I doubt the screenwriter has even met an autistic person at all), who on top of being too pitiful to live is just a horrendous person all around. She always uses his painful shyness as an excuse to just not clear up the misunderstandings (especially the one that kickstarts the plot) and end the movie right then and there. She even goes out of her way to stalk around in the apartment of the guy she's pretending to be engaged to, which only adds credence to my theory that she was written to be a terrible stereotype of an autistic woman and set disability representation back by three decades. All of the other characters (save for Peter, I suppose) are terrible as well. Jack develops feelings for his brother's supposed fiancee without even thinking about how much this might affect him, and the rest of the family pretty much just abandons Peter when they find out that he'd been engaged to a woman who was already married (to be fair, though, I don't think Peter could've known she was married at that time). Yes, this movie is so bad that I actually ended up feeling sorry for Peter, a character who's not supposed to be sympathetic in the slightest.I will give the movie this, though. Lucy and Peter don't get married at the end. Honestly, I think that's for the best since their entire relationship was based on a lie.If you want to watch a good rom-com, please do not watch this offensive tripe. It will make you scream and cry with rage like I did, and just make you question what life is.

... View MoreAfter a lonely woman saves the life of a complete stranger, she's mistaken for his fiancé and slowly becomes integrated into his family, due to his coma. As her true identity couldn't be verified by anybody, everything seems to be well, until his brother shows up, whose character is about to play a very important role in the upcoming events.It's a lovely and romantic comedy, set in the heart of the winter holidays, which tells an improbable love story about two complete strangers who fall in love without their will and as much as they try to resist, as close they eventually become. It creates a warm and enjoyable atmosphere which lasts until the end. The actors play their roles very convincingly, making you care about their characters while keeping you eager to find out what will happen next and how it's going to end. Besides all of the above, it also manages to make you laugh from time to time, even out loud, just to spice things up a bit. It's a very good movie for everyone to enjoy, especially around the holidays, but not only.
... View MoreThis movie is your typical chick flick where a poor woman explains why she's marrying a stranger (she doesn't love) by saying at least she'll get a holiday and she won't be alone anymore. That last bit thrown in there because women can't be alone apparently. They need to marry someone even if they're the brother of the person they love. Meanwhile, the single bloke she's marrying is sleeping with a married woman behind her husband's back. Charming. Hard to like any of them really.
