6.8 stars.
I'm gonna write this review, no editing, off the top of my head, it's terrible and the grammar stinks, but I'm taking too much time on these reviews and it's only for myself and for future reference I am the audience. If you read this, hello, and sorry for the terrible writing, but I've not the time for polishing anymore.
This is about a woman who has dated a lot of men and can never figure out who is the right one for her after many years. She goes through man after man after man and at one point she has an ah-ha moment about how almost every guy she's dated in her whole life has broken up with her for no apparent reason when things seemed to be going so well. What she finds out is probably no surprise, and everyone around her knows exactly what is going on with her and why she has difficulties getting guys to commit to her, they are just making preemptive breakups before she has a chance to break their hearts first, unbeknownst to her, but fully understood and sensed by them on a deeper level.
She has always been a cynic from a very young age, and they are careful to show us this when she talks about how confused she is about Romeo and Juliet, it's about tragedy and death, but her mom tells her all girls like Romeo and Juliet and it's peculiar that she doesn't. So we find out that from early on she's always been cynical about true love, especially because of her parents who have the perfect relationship. She probably feels that she can never find a man as perfect for her as her dad is for her mom, but this is all subconscious.
She stumbles into the right guy, but doesn't realize that he's the right guy, he's just another guy to her, and to us he's just another guy too. In fact I have no idea what sets him apart from any of the other guys because the writer doesn't make him anything special to us that would incline us to think he's actually the truly perfect guy. And also the dichotomy of her own nature which is her appearing to be the perfect sweetheart of a woman who sincerely but her character is stunted and so we are not shown all of her previous boyfriends and what they saw in her that ultimately made them run the other direction. When they explain to her why they left her, their answers are similar in that they felt she eventually would have left them anyways, like her heart wasn't fully in it. But we never really see that side of her, because if we did see that side of her, this would not be a very good movie as she would not make an acceptable protagonist being a shallow woman who is afraid of commitment.
On the bright side, I think Rachel Boston really nailed the character in many respects, and she's just so cute in this I have to give it a 6.8 instead of a 6.4.
