It made me giggle quite a lot, watching this movie. Da'Vine Joy Randolph -- put her in any movie you want, and we're going to be fine.

One ends up longing for a sniff of reality. But the three leads demonstrate absolute belief in romantic absolutes as we drift towards a class of sob-heavy denouement Hollywood now rarely attempts.

The film is fantastical yet grounded in moving truths, warm and heart tugging and laugh-out-loud witty. You exit its world with a glow of satisfaction.

While Freyne’s feature is amusing and fairly entertaining, its rather static direction and lightweight treatment of its emotional core never make it feel as transcendent as it could.
