A few years ago I made a note to myself to 'write something joyous', the basic idea being to write a story, probably a romance, devoid of conflict. It would be hard to make such a thing interesting but I think it's possible.
I never did write it, but from the IMDb description of this film I thought that someone else might have. It turns out though that it was presumably intended as sarcasm because things do go wrong.
So I was a little disappointed in that sense, but that's my failing, not the film's and it may well be better for having conflict. I certainly wasn't disappointed in the film as a whole, it's sweet and uplifting with likable characters, solid performances and decent writing.
It probably won't stay with you for long but it's an enjoyable way to spend 90 minutes, especially after a hard day. So I'm glad I watched it, even if it wasn't what I was expecting. But I still hope that one day someone will make the film that I thought this might be.
