But when he won't go along with the plan, it becomes a wicked battle of man versus himself - literally. —Anonymous

    Fun premise but falls into romcom trappings
    It's a fun idea, and it all begins well enough but we're soon completely trapped in every standard romcom cliché. I honestly don't understand why people go through all the time and effort and costs of making a movie when you're just going to take the predictable route so many movies have done before.
