Trivia

In the early days of this movie's release on Netflix, the Halloween party sequence featuring a character dressed up as a big black cat (and calling himself Black Panther (2018)) had several speaking lines referring to Chadwick Boseman. Sadly, Boseman passed away in 2020 just prior to the movie's release in October 2020. Following his death, the lines referring to Boseman seem to have been edited out and/or recorded over, though in a few instances the original lines still appeared in the closed captioning during the scene.

User Reviews

Funny cheesy movie

I haven't seen a good comedy romance in a while, yes it is cheesy but sometimes we just need these movies you know the end, but it was original and it was funny and romance, so i do recommend it .
