    Better than your average Rom/Com

    Good film with more meaning than your average romantic comedy. Take the tissues!

    Good but not what I was expecting.

    I and the other half were really looking forward to this film and we really enjoyed it when it came but not as much as we expected.

    Better than the trailer would have you believe

    I'd been put off seeing this at the cinema by the trailer which looked like a slightly below par rom-com. The reviews were also pretty bad!

    So much more than just a romcom!

    I wasn't sure what to expect, I thought it would just be the usual slapstick romcom movie with a typical storyline and ending. Surprisingly, this movie was ... more
