I Propose We Never See Each Other Again After Tonight

I saw this movie this afternoon in Vancouver. This movie was about a Vietnamese Canadian woman and a caucasian guy who move in together in Winnipeg. It was a sweet movie with miscommunication and realistic situations that show the importance of having family, friends and lovers. I think it's an important movie to see.

I hate it when people rate a low budget indie movie with the same criteria they use for a big budget Hollywood movie. This was a solid movie that told a simple story and it made me laugh and smile. Which was all it needed to do on a Sunday afternoon. I appreciate local Canadian actors getting an opportunity be in a movie and gain experience. I had to look up what a social was; I thought it might be a Filipino thing, turns out it's a Manitoba thing.

As a Winnipeger, and a Canadian, I really connnected with this movie. It felt so authentic and seeing all the local spots and such was really great. The actors, writing, and scoring were all excellent and I highly reccommend everyone see it!

Not sure where the negative reviewers of this film are even coming from. Maybe they don't like RomComs. I confess I'm not a big fan either but we saw a little tidbit and decided to take in the film. And it's Canadian too. Nothing like freezing Winnipeg in the middle of winter. No we are not from Winnipeg. But I grew up in Ottawa and it used to anyway have some doozy of winters.

What did we love about this film? Well the mostly first time actors did a great job. Was some of it improvised? It was also so relatable. Gee my second wife and I met. Then parted leaving at least one of us upset. Got back together but slowly. Parted again figuring this was not going to work. Then back again. Family (hers) upset over their daughters choice. I was still technically married at the time and she was considerably younger. So while circumstances were different yes it all eventually worked out in the end. We've now been married for 34 years plus another two living together much to the chagrin of her parents. And we're still in love despite many years of ups and downs. The film and the actors seemed so natural. I completely understood the family thing for Iris. You marry her and her family as well. The two had lovely chemistry and the rest of the supporting cast was good. Sure the film has it flaws but one can overlook them. No this is just a lovely story played out against the backdrop of Winnipeg in winter and you knew that somehow it would all end well. Ok isn't that how RomComs are supposed to end. But its the journey to get there that is the delight. And this was a lovely journey. Move over Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. Hera Nalam and Kristian Jordan are challenging. Brought a tear to my eye.

Lost 1.5 ours of my life. Horrible plot, awful conversations. Can anybody count how many times he adjusted his hair?!?!! If you are wondering what to watch tonight, please do yourself a favor and watch Friends instead!!!
