    Amazing
    This movie adaptation was hilariously funny, a perfect rom-com. It's got battle, wits, and the viewer can totally relate with the main character. The ending could've had a time skip, but other than that, it's a little movie that will warm your heart up and leave you thinking about the movie. The actors portray their roles so well, it's perfect. The rivalry between the two gangs is extremely entertaining and well written, this is a spectacular movie about a love, friendship and enemy relationship.

    One of the best movies I've seen so far, it does not let down the reputation of the original 'War of the buttons' and I am sure it will truly make your day after watching the movie :)
