Only problem I had is that RJ Mitte's character speaks with an American accent when the movie is set in Australia and it's never once said that he's an American in the movie. Still a cute and heartwarming movie regardless.
OK so it's not a 10 (I did that to counter the idiot who only gave it a 1) it's probably an 8. The only drag is the lead actress's acting ability is not great... poor soap opera actress... Australia has MUCH better than here but I guess they had a low budget and she was the best they could get that could also covert mega cuteness factor? Once you ignore that blemish she delivers enough for you to enjoy the rest of the beautiful simple genius of this charming film and it's central character delivered wonderfully by RJ Mitte.
27 yr/o male here. I really enjoyed this movie. The humour was light hearted and the story line was good. It's a rom-com without being too chick flicky with the story line and humour type. I found it genuinely funny and with good characters. I'm not a fan of most rom coms as I often find the humour to be too corny or over the top. This wasn't the case. This mixed in with an unconventional, conventional, love story made it really enjoyable and an easy watch.
The other thing I really enjoyed (maybe I'm showing my age) is how it highlights the lives of people with disabilities which is really important in our society. It also showed people who watch it that may have a disability that they can find their normality in life if they just follow their passions and stay positive.
This would be a great movie to show in schools
It's a Stan exclusive or original I believe. So if you're wondering where to watch it... you'll need a Stan account.
I'll give it a 9/10.

Nice movie with heart. Depends on your mood how you feel about the movie but I was glad I watched it. Heart warming. Nice acting, nice story. More than nice actually. It was touching for me.
