A sweet romantic comedy
24 August 2013
This is a sweet tale, despite the inherent ickiness of its initial premise. I went into it with almost no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The chemistry between the leads is good, although the star here is the heroine. She's got charm and charisma, a sort of wholesomeness that's perfect for the role, and just enough sass to not make her boring. The plot is fun, with just the right comedic turns, and it moves along at a good pace. I liked that it was never shy to point out the weirdness of the setup and to poke fun at it. It's got a good blend of romance and comedy, but more comedy than the former. I didn't particularly care for the side characters, but our main couple was enough to keep me hooked and watching until the end. They're friends, first and foremost, and that really shone through.
