... before it's all pulled out of the dumpster fire with a happily ever after ending. Normally, these things end just before she marries the other guy. This one goes a step beyond that, and still recovers. 3 hours of worse, and worse, and even worse and all neatly tied up in a bundle in the last 2 minutes. This one is just a little too contrived to be believable. And many of the characterizations based on class divide are implausibly extreme. An implausible degree of miscommunication drags things on for an extra hour of viewing. The overall effect is one of unmitigated dreariness.
