Quotes

Molly Mahoney: I am not wearing your dead grandmother's engagement ring.
Josh Shiffman: Molly, if we're trying to convince...
Molly Mahoney: You are out of your mind.
Josh Shiffman: Molly. If we're trying to convince your mom and everybody else that we're engaged, an engagement ring is a good place to start.
Molly Mahoney: Fine. But that did not come from Walmart. I do not really think that your grandmother would appreciate me wearing her stunning VVS1 1.75 carat princess cut diamond engagement ring.
Josh Shiffman: Wow.

A lovely little romance

There is no denying the plot is a straight forward love movie, but isn't that why we watch these kinds of movies. There was nothing really surprising about the storyline, but I thought the lead characters did a great job throughout. I loved watching their chemistry both as friends and then as their love grew for each other and this drove me to watch it a few times in one week without getting bored. I liked some of the comedy moments in the film and felt that the lead characters had got this right. Even though you can see Josh is a ladies man it is nice to see him develop into what every woman wants, a 'knight', and the prop guys did a good job of turning Molly from being a scruffy student type character into an attractive young woman If you want a feel good movie that ticks the romcom box adequately then this could float your boat.
