Getting to Know You

I saw this movie on Amazon Prime and decided to give it a try. I was ambivalent about my expectations. It could have been just some silly slapstick, or an over the top attempt at humor, or overly sappy. It avoids all of that. While the story line might be slightly implausible, in the long run, the characters act appropriately. I wanted the story in end differently, but the ending I wanted would have been too cliche, so kudos to the director and writers for avoiding it.

I don't believe I had seen any of the actors before, so I had no expectations. The cast did not disappoint.

Overall, it's a really good movie.

If you ever come across this movie in search for a genuine heartfelt love story, you really don't have to look any further... This was very much in line with films like Richard Linklater's "Before Sunrise", where the dialog flows so naturally along the movie and the connection between the main characters is so palpable that you sometimes even forget about the storyline; you feel as if you are right there with them and even begin to feel the same feelings. It's just wonderful. If one of the main objectives of a film is to move you, then this one gets top marks. You could guess this movie wasn't made on a particularly high budget, but you definitely don't feel it throughout: good sound, good photography, great actors... Very well done. Highly recommended.

Not the cinematic or crazy deep type of movies, just a very sweet movie with some humour. Perfect for holidays or when you want something bright and easy. I liked it.

Not 100% solid all the way through. Some of the plot contrivances are forced, but nonetheless, surprisingly touching here and there - and the unpredictable plot keeps us guessing and involved to the end. NIce to see a movie without villains or violence.

If you ever encountered someone for a brief period and wondered 'what if', you will enjoy this film. Not hilarious, but some comical moments and no sap. Recommend.
