They over did the Polish hick country folks and I like it.
They end up together. Adversity to get there. Fall in love. He sacrifices to get his gal They lived happily ever after. Nothing new here.
Countryside nice, acting OK, both leads delicious in physical appearance. Supporting cast were Polish country hick hilarious. They made the movie to me. Near slapstick at times.
The male country hick costumes looked very uncomfortable to me especially the pants.
Worth a watch but no more than once. I like corny and this movie had plenty of it.

Terrible, really STUPID movie. Do NOT waste your time. Jumps all over the place. A Mish mash and a hodge podge. I embarrassed to admit I watched the whole ridiculous thing. Don't make the same mistake I did. Watch ANYTHING else instead.
I know that we get annoyed or maybe even used to a certain type of movie. Like this one - where we know the formula and there is not much that will surprise us in the overall scheme of things. Yet that aside (and some little twists or surprises that do still exist), what really helps this are the two main actors. Who take their roles and fill them with charisma.
I really dug what I saw here. This is not a masterpiece for sure, but it is a fun little movie. And while it may be a bit more tease than some would like - it still is able to show us things that US movies shy away from. Like nudity for example - most romantic outings from the US are not going down that road, because of the ratings over there.
So if you don't mind (I won't go as far as to call anyone who has issues with a bit of skin prude) that little bit of erotica the movie serves (don't expect too much), than all the teasing throughout the movie will make sense. Also for the characters ... one has been burnt badly, the other one is on a mission .. of course (mission) goals can change ... well not telling you anything new. Funny and light throughout.

I loved this movie. The wardrobe, level of acting skills, and scenery made this one of my favorite movies this year. At first I was hesitant to watch it because I had to view it with English subtitles, but don't let that distract any potential viewer. It's well made, and left me having good dreams, and a desire to know more about Polish culture.
In this post-Hollywood world, Americans are having to range further afield for their entertainment. I have not seen a lot of Polish entries here in the states and I am glad that streaming services like Netflix will give actors/actresses in other countries the opportunity for wider exposure.
This is a cute little romantic comedy with decent acting, believable chemistry between the leads, beautiful costuming, and stunning vistas. While is is next to impossible to match the multi-billion dollar budgets of legacy Hollywood films, I would argue that's a good thing. There is something fundamentally unreal and plastic about Hollywood productions and though that's fine for science fiction and fantasy, it simply fails to make up for a lack of good storytelling and just basic ENTERTAINMENT, which is the point of the whole endeavor. I look forward to seeing more productions from Poland.
