Unbelievable situations could often (at least in the movies) lead to great romances...like...it was meant to be...
A man and a woman, desperate to meet their other halves (although with different approaches, one closed to herself, the other one just trying his luck "out there") end up having a (blind) date in current London, in a situation with mixed identities (sort of).
Simon Pegg and Lake Bell have chemistry in the leading roles and give more than adequate performances.
Overall: A romantic fairytale with quirky humor and an obvious, although impossible, ending!
