What a fun romp. By the poster, you know what to expect! It's a fun, silly ride. The two leads knock it out of the ballpark and pull believability out of a mediocre script. Adam Huss is emotionally available actor. I've seen him in a few other things. And he's easy on the eyes. And the lead female: I'd challenge Margo Robbie to say some of the lines Chelsea Gilson had to say and pull it off any better! She did a fine job. I particularly loved the mother played by Maureen Kedes...she wasn't that typical sickly sweet mom you tend to see. She gave a little edge to an otherwise very Disney-type script. She had something going on in her eyes, like some sad backstory, and her acting was very convincing. I also thought the daughter and some of the other dates were really cute. I know the budget is small, but the director Louise Alston pulled a lot out of it. Worth watching!

The two leads are adorable. But aren't they always? I loved this movie because two things made it cool. The scenery was like a love letter to Costa Rica. I just wanted to swing from a vine and jump in the water! And the supporting cast were so adorable and seemed so real. They really made the movie. I wanted more from all of them. The bride was so pretty and vulnerable. The two dads were hilarious and so spot on. Exactly the hands-off typical dads. The groom was super handsome and charming. His acting was so natural. The mom of the bride was that judgy mom we all love to hate. She pulled off some cringy lines because her acting was so believable...she reminded me of my Aunt Edith, (may she rest in peace)...but at the same time you could tell she loved her daughter. I also loved the ex boyfriend (hilarious) and the co worker of Emily. Kick back and enjoy this sweet film.
