Featured reviews
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.

Romantic and starts up pretty well until the the sticky parts of love come through, with stupid descision making that brings ahead the worst in a relationship, and jealousy and less thought through acts brings this romance back to the icecold concrete floor, and its a cold winnipeg for sure.
but will they live happily forever after, search me, do ask the mirror, its a movie with far to ultra-hd filmography,far to much light in the settings, even in a dimmed down lighted restaurant, like a flashligt mounted in the table.
but the female actors are uncut gems, so if you like small filipino women, have a go. i will not fall back to this one so just a tini tiny timtimtim of a recommend from the grumpy old man

Asian culture making love not romance, marriage is meant to be for the tradition and not couple decision. This story express this again. The end.
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!!!
We really enjoyed the movie and there is a lot of truth in the dynamics of the relationship and her family. Not sure why anybody would think the girl is Vietnamese when she and her family all speak the native language of the Philippines and clearly do not look Vietnamese.
