Prophezeiung... Liebe

This film had all the ingredients of a great Rom Com. It had beautiful and talented actors and actresses. A funny and sweet story line. A gay best friend, a lovely crazy Indian family but the over acting in it was just awful. It completely ruined it. It was a real shame.

Hero Fiennes was barely in it. Still it would have been acceptable if the acting wasn't so overtly odd. The main characters were constantly at each others throats in quite an agressive way. It did not give you that warm fuzzy feeling inside.

I struggled to watch it all the way through the first time. I won't be watching it again. I know the actors are good. So it must be bad directing. Costumes and design were great, music was fun! Could have been good..... but it was sadly pretty awful.

It's seems so sadly wasted! The story telling is a bit clunky as the writing is lacking in freshness. Maybe the fault is in the editing or the directing, but this film is really lacking in oomph! It's like hoping for a delicious piece of chocolate cake and having to make do with a biscuit.

The group of actors that have come together is inspiring, and they could have been so wonderfully utilised. They are all so talented and could have added a real champagne sparkle to this project.

The locations are also great as they show off lovely pockets of London.

I'm sorry to say that this film lacks in sparkle, charm and romance, as the leads have little or no chemistry. Some of the supporting cast are wasted, Sindhu Vee and Adil Ray in particular. These two talents are not shown to their best advantage; such a shame.

All in all, not a good rom-com.

My wife and I were looking for some interesting entertainment and settled on this movie, made by Amazon and streaming on Prime. The past few years we have watched lots of, I am reluctant to admit, very marginal "made for streaming" movies and were skeptical, but this is a really fine and entertaining movie.

I had never seen Simone Ashley before, she plays the main character Pia. I just couldn't take my eyes off her, she is gorgeous, but best of all she is a really good actress and her performance here is very authentic.

The basic story is this - she is single and soon turning 30, her younger sister is getting married soon, the sister and her mother are strongly encouraging Pia to find a suitable husband. But she has a career as a photographer and co-owns a studio with her gay friend. But business isn't great and they may go under.

The story has many complications but most things are resolved in good, meaningful ways. We found it to be a worthwhile, entertaining movie.

In theory, this should have been a good British romcom. Simone Ashley is delightful leading lady but was let down by the total lack of chemistry between her and the guy supposed to be her love interest. He felt horribly miscast. For some reason, they share only about four scenes together and every one feels stilted and unnatural. There are some good ideas, some genuinely funny scenes and enjoyable characters but the whole thing just doesn't quite click into place. It's a bit of a vanilla watch but left me wishing that it had a little more pizzazz ..... and a different actor as the love interest.

It was okay... There were some funny parts, some cute parts. But if you're looking for a fantastic (even, good) rom-com, this movie isn't it.

I watched this movie for Simone Ashley and Hero, because they're both so beautiful and amazing actors. What could go wrong, right?

Well... The main couple (pia and charlie) had approximately 4 scenes together... and there was no chemistry in any of them!

There were a lot of cliche tropes, a lot of stereotyping, a lot of random cussing, and a whole lot of cringe.

The movie wasn't bad, per se, but probably (definitely) not a movie you would want to see again.
