I really enjoyed this movie and would certainly watch it again. There are so many good things to point out and a couple of not-so-great things to mention too. The Great: Celine Dion sharing her true-life story and grief of losing her husband and of course her music. Went to see Celine's acting debut and was not disappointed. She is fantastic in this.

The Good: There are some really funny bits in this film. I was chuckling all throughout it. Some of it could be cheesy but that's a Rom Com for you. There is also a rollercoaster of emotional beats that thread throughout too that could make you choke up a bit. The whole cast was terrific! The lead actor was distractingly gorgeous. He provided the comedic beats and lightened up the story with an adorable dorkyness. I really felt uncomfortable for him which is what we were supposed to feel. So well done! PC also did a great job making us feel sad for her character. She had nailed the grief stricken aspect of her character. The supporting cast was great as well.

The not-so-great: I think this movie would have benefited by being at least 15 minutes longer. It really needed more time for the relationship between the two characters to develop a bit more. Seemed a bit rushed in that aspect. The costumes were a bit too frumpy as if they were trying to make these two beautiful actors look less gorgeous and perhaps more relatable. Well, that was a hard sell. I also think the scripting of the ending was not satisfactory. They went too realistic in my opinion. They should have gone total ROM COM.

As I said before I really liked this movie and if you are a fan of Rom Com's it is worth the watch!

Binged the whole series in one day! So funny and more importantly unique! There is a tiny bit of raunch that was not needed but overall it was quite entertaining. All the actors kept to the assignment and were able to pull off natural performances. I would love to know how much improve was a part of their performance. My guess there was quite a bit. Which makes it even more intriguing. Whoever came up with the concept of this show was brilliant. Not sure they could pull off a season two since the cat is already out of the bag so to speak but I would gladly watch if they did produce more seasons.

This show was so hyped up I expected it to WOW me and I was disappointed that it did not live up to the hype. I have only seen the first two eps but I am not hopeful it will get any better. The major problem is I simply don't care for any of the characters. Priyanka Chopra is doing a fine job. But Richard Madden has shown no depth whatsoever. He is so wooden. The story is unoriginal and seems to borrow way too much from other spy/thrillers like Bloodshot, Bullet Train, Bond. The Villain is boring. Action sequences are ill shot in spots that instead of getting into the action you sense the cut aways.

Now that I have watch the entire series I changed my rating from a 4 to a 2. I had hoped it would have gotten better but it got worse. Everything got worse. Why on earth would they give this series a second season is beyond me. I was secretly hoping Mason would die! There is nothing interesting about this character. Madden just seemed to phone in his performance.
