User Reviews

Surprisingly Funny and Entertaining

I'm not quite sure why there are such low ratings or the insulting reviews on here...I don't much care for romantic anything, but this movie was very good. Jessica Williams is an underrated actress and was very funny. What says every romantic comedy should be a fairytale that's not how life really works now, is it? I think this is an excellent watch; don't scroll pass it!!
