Retrato de un amor a ciegas

Some parts were very funny, others the comedy felt forced and was too much. Jay was the best comedic character and the actor is very talented.

Charlie and Pia really lacked chemistry (does nobody screen test anymore?) which alongside the minimal amount of screentime really didn't make the romance element exciting.

I did love the character of Pia and some of her family moments but it was a bit try hard.

Best part of the film was Jay & Pia's friendship! So if you're looking for a classic romance which makes you feel warm inside, this isn't the one due to the lack of romantic scenes & chemistry alike!

I do not mind a good adaptation, but atleast work on it! How do you manage to get the comedy AND the chemistry wrong? This movie is a prime time example of that. Indian representation doesn't make everything good, Bollywood has much better romcoms if you want to see the culture. Peak overacting, loud expressions, the only saving grace is its colourful aesthetic! Wasn't expecting much from the actor, but even Simone fell flat in this, the dialogues were okay but their execution was bleh, the closing dance was cool but of course you have to have one because it's stereotypical, plus you already know the premise from five blind dates so this movie is giving nothing.

Really watched this movie because of the videos I watched online and it was extremely meh -.- both the leads had no chemistry and even more extremely less screen time with each other. Even the Indian representation could not make me finish the movie. I was expecting so much more! Simone and Hero were okay, but it'll take more charm to successfully keep the people hooked. Atleast one of the main characters should have more charisma to pull it off! There was potential comedy but the timing was off so it didn't hit! Hollywood needs to bring back 2000's romcom era because these don't hit the same way :(

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'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.
