    Enjoyable Romantic Comedy
    I have seen better, but I have also seen way worse. This film doesn't pretend to be an angsty reflection of humanity, it's rather a successful light-hearted journey to a more unexplored part of the world. I had a few belly-laughs, but mainly enjoyed the journey with the characters.

    It's definitely not a film for pseudo-intellectuals and will not spark in-depth conversations at a pub, but it will make the average day seem a bit more enjoyable and could leave you with a smile on your face.
