    It was in there! Just not quite there.

    Great story idea. All of the makings of something fun, loving, learning and romantic.

    The chemistry seemed a little flat. Not exactly there in my opinion. And from time to time I felt irritated by the sound of one's voice and stupid liners from the delivery of one's script in the movie. Did the purposely do that? Or was it the delivery from one's acting skills?. I don't know how and what to make of it.

    The underlying subject is not easy. And to deal with such matters takes skills and understanding in addressing likely trauma.

    More exposure from other parties would have likely added more drama and given more picture and emotional expression to this "wanna be better" flick.

    Enjoy.

    The Right One

    4/10 - silly and forgettable direct-to-streaming rom-com never really proves why it exists nor why you should spend your time watching it.

    Fun Love with a twist

    Great quirky take on the age old love story. Lots of humour mixed with a look at some serious psychological scarring. The acting's great witch goes hand in hand with great directing, good scripting, good cinematography, all in all a very enjoyable and enlightening watch. I would highly recommend.

    Unwatchable

    As much as I pushed to watch till the end, hoping for an interesting twist.. nothing! The story could unravel differently but it's just weird how the events went and how the characters are forcefully interfering .. and the end is soooooooo predictable and empty.

    Fun little love story

    He suffered a childhood trauma and has created a number of alternate personas to live with his grief. All his friends love him and he seems to be the best at his game in everything. But he won't let anyone else in so when she begins to notice him she tries to get him to open up to her. He brings her into his world but he doesn't want to open up to her which eventually pushes her away. She realises from her friends she chose incorrectly so she tries again.....

    It's sweet but its slow.

    Good Scripting Good Filming Good Acting Good Sound Track

    Its worth a watch πŸ‘
