    6/10
    Not as good as Love and Other Catastrophes, but still a likeable rom-com
    This is the second of Emma-Kate Croghan's two likeable films and has a great trio of energetic women, Claudia Karvin, Naomi Watts and Alice Garner, who drive the film forward.

    While it seems fairly obvious that they will end up with the trio of male lawyers, the film manages to duck and weave and move quickly enough to keep you wondering until the end.

    Unfortunately after these two films, Croghan did not make another film, which took a lot of fun away from us all.
