The other Zoey

I wouldn't describe this as Romcom

The love interests don't have much screen time or development and the two leads have very average chemistry.

I think there is a certain disappointment with this movie because the trailer was misleading. The love triangle was very anti climatic and there wasn't much comedy.

I enjoyed the character of Zoey purely because Josephine Langford has such great star quality . I watched this due to me being a fan of hers in the after series and she did not disappoint. I also liked the friendship between her and her best friend, that added a different and interesting twist.

The story itself is fine if you're looking for an easy watch but if you had expectations for a 90's style romcom like me then it doesn't live up to the hype.

I am a total romantic comedy sucker, whilst at the same time, completely hating the relentless steretypes and tropes, and being sickened by the internalised misogynistic/ paternalistic biases usually on display. I am always on the lookout for a truly NEW romantic comedy. This movie isn't quite that, but I think it's trying to take a step in that direction.

The romantic set-up uses a ridiculous range of tropes; my MOST hated here being; a smart person making a series of stupid decisions. And kudos to the 'amnesia' trope. The choice of amnesia in particular was a clue that the writer was deliberately using obvious tropes in an attempt to subvert them. It does a good job of showing rather than explaining this, so at least it assumes the audience is smart.

Whilst it's generally inoffensive, it is never quite moving, either as comedy or drama. Still. It is trying to say something...maybe the very simple "Don't close yourself off from love". And the cast is diverse, very natural in their characterisations, and of course, very beautiful.

Though it's nothing challenging, it is enjoyable, and I think, can claim to be uncommon in its lack of implicit misogyny. Feel reassured it is watchable. Purely for entertainment.

It's predictable, something to watch when you don't want to think too much. I don't watch a lot of romantic comedies, but for some reason this one caught my attention and I even laughed at some scenes.

Just don't go in expecting too much. I actually think that some scenes are performed robotically on purpose, as some kind of "creative intent" or some other lie they're telling this days. But the images are generally beautiful and I liked how the movie looks.

It's so bad, but I couldn't stop watching it.

6/10 - it's not a movie anyone must watch. Go for it if there's nothing else and you want something light.

I feel like the best way to describe this film is like "watching Wattpad." Everything they do in this film doesn't feel lifelike at all and I think that's what made it amusing.

Acting was mid, nothing crazy. If u wanna watch this movie, just manage ur expectations. Some parts are kinda cute and some kinda little random.

I feel like Zach is such a cute character, especially after the incident. Pretty predictable plot. This is one of those movies you watch when you don't feel like seeing something very extreme, where you have to pay attention to the details to understand what's going on.

I recommend watching it if you're in the mood for a basic romance movie.

Oh my gosh, Zach was absolutely ADORABLE. He's seriously one of the most endearing love interests I've seen in a romcom! However, I do wish we could have had more actual interactions between him and Zoey, cus right now their feelings felt a little bit random and pretty underdeveloped... Which is a shame cus I think their dynamic had a lot of potential, especially since I love the opposites attract trope.

P. S. The plot made zero sense. I mean, did she really just fall in love with some guy for saying he DOESN'T believe in love? And did she really think that the best way to start a relationship with him was by pretending to be his cousin's girlfriend?? Make it make sense, please.
