    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Picture This' is a mixed romantic comedy with praise for Simone Ashley's performance and humor, but criticism for the lead characters' lack of chemistry. The film relies on clichés and has a predictable plot, with an underwhelming romantic element. Some appreciate South Asian culture representation, while others find it stereotypical. Pacing, character development, and comedy execution are contentious. Overall, it's an enjoyable yet flawed film with unrealized potential.

    Just ok

    Some parts were very funny, others the comedy felt forced and was too much. Jay was the best comedic character and the actor is very talented.

    Charlie and Pia really lacked chemistry (does nobody screen test anymore?) which alongside the minimal amount of screentime really didn't make the romance element exciting.

    I did love the character of Pia and some of her family moments but it was a bit try hard.

    Best part of the film was Jay & Pia's friendship! So if you're looking for a classic romance which makes you feel warm inside, this isn't the one due to the lack of romantic scenes & chemistry alike!

    Lovely locations and good cast, but ...

    It's seems so sadly wasted! The story telling is a bit clunky as the writing is lacking in freshness. Maybe the fault is in the editing or the directing, but this film is really lacking in oomph! It's like hoping for a delicious piece of chocolate cake and having to make do with a biscuit.

    The group of actors that have come together is inspiring, and they could have been so wonderfully utilised. They are all so talented and could have added a real champagne sparkle to this project.

    The locations are also great as they show off lovely pockets of London.

    I'm sorry to say that this film lacks in sparkle, charm and romance, as the leads have little or no chemistry. Some of the supporting cast are wasted, Sindhu Vee and Adil Ray in particular. These two talents are not shown to their best advantage; such a shame.

    All in all, not a good rom-com.

    A shame 😶

    I watched this purely to see Simone Ashley. British movies, especially rom-coms, rarely come out with actors/actresses from a South asian background. So the representation was really important to me. However the whole storyline was so underwhelming and flat. The characters lacked depth. There were cringey lines all over the place.

    You know that feeling when you really want the leads to end up together? It just felt so empty! The leads didn't have any chemistry, whatsoever. Even between 'Pia' and her sister 'Sonal'. I've got to give it to the actor who played 'Jay' who did a great job considering the circumstances. Really wish it wasn't this bad!

    It could have been great but.....

    This film had all the ingredients of a great Rom Com. It had beautiful and talented actors and actresses. A funny and sweet story line. A gay best friend, a lovely crazy Indian family but the over acting in it was just awful. It completely ruined it. It was a real shame.

    Hero Fiennes was barely in it. Still it would have been acceptable if the acting wasn't so overtly odd. The main characters were constantly at each others throats in quite an agressive way. It did not give you that warm fuzzy feeling inside.

    I struggled to watch it all the way through the first time. I won't be watching it again. I know the actors are good. So it must be bad directing. Costumes and design were great, music was fun! Could have been good..... but it was sadly pretty awful.

    oh!

    It was okay... There were some funny parts, some cute parts. But if you're looking for a fantastic (even, good) rom-com, this movie isn't it.

    I watched this movie for Simone Ashley and Hero, because they're both so beautiful and amazing actors. What could go wrong, right?

    Well... The main couple (pia and charlie) had approximately 4 scenes together... and there was no chemistry in any of them!

    There were a lot of cliche tropes, a lot of stereotyping, a lot of random cussing, and a whole lot of cringe.

    The movie wasn't bad, per se, but probably (definitely) not a movie you would want to see again.
