So many stereotypes...

It's definitely hard to be a single girl these days. And films like these only make it worse! It exploits each and every stereotype about single-young-woman is desperate to find someone to love her.

How many times have we heard this story on those "stupid American movies". But there we have! This film is European, and that seems the only reason why the Danish critics are so amazed by this film. Basically is an annoying movie without any sensible story in it. Whether it is American or Danish, I see no difference.
