Featured reviews
Without comparing this film to every romcom ever made; and this coming from a homegrown kiwi, it was good in its own right. Love the use of the kiwi lingo and hows the film represents kiwi lifestyle in the "wopwops", as we like to say. It was relatable and culturally respectful, which made up for the not-so "bad acting" as everyone likes to point out.
I love romcoms but there was absolutely zero chemistry between the actors. Even the last kiss, it was just awkward! Why do you win an inn by just clicking an email and writing an essay. Best acting by Charlotte and the goat. Plus: the scenery of NZ.
We loved this. Watched it with my 6yr old. Was feeling a bit cranky before but all happy & chilled after. A good wholesome film. Yes it's cheesy, but that's what we signed up for & it's also funny! Loved the goat
Totally sappy, cheesy, silly, but sometimes you need a movie like that, right? This had me laughing at quite a few moments, because it really was sooo sappy. It's kitsch, but you should totally watch it on a night where you are entirely ambivalent to what you watch, and you think to yourself, why not? If my rating was based purely on the enjoyment I received from this movie, it would be much higher.
Why not just say that the lead male was an Aussi?
I can understand the American not knowing the difference between kiwi sayings and Aussi ones but it doesn't make sense that the kiwis don't.
Maybe the kiwi actors didn't want to rock the boat but I feel like someone should have said "we wouldn't do/say that"
