Rosie and Alex have been best friends since they were 5, so they couldn't possibly be right for one another...or could they? When it comes to love, life and making the right choices, these two are their own worst enemies.
Likeable leads and the odd good joke makes this romance an amiable time-passer.
That it wastes the talent of two young actors with star potential is upsetting, that it insults its audience is frankly unforgivable.
Like a Richard Curtis movie with an Instagram filter, director Christian Ditter makes everything look pretty – including Collins and Claflin, both just winsome enough to rise above a froth of amateur models, a hen-friendly soundtrack and a script as sickly sweet as it is sickeningly posh.
A depressing, laugh-free, and generally unpleasant experience.
Sadly, everything is so calculated and phoney that you don't believe a word of it.
t’s one of those puppy movies, so wet-nosed and keen to please one takes scant joy in kicking it. But the damn thing keeps crapping everywhere.
Collins has a gamine-like quality reminiscent of a young Audrey Hepburn but her effervescent charm isn't enough to hide the chronic absurdities in the storyline.
None of it is especially original or surprising but it’s sweet, likeable and unpretentious and performed with great spark, especially by the winning Collins.
Habitual bad timing is not enough to make a great rom-com, as this Cecelia Ahern adaptation shows.
Brightly moronic young adult romance.
