A sweet movie, with two very good actors who define the story. The story itself is not new, but it has its "touches". Played like a comedy makes the story lighter, an that's a good thing. Overall, a movie to like.... Full review

I saw this film on TV, and though its bad sides, it's a quite enjoyable romantic comedy. I'm not a fan of romcoms in general, so any such film that I can stand must be pretty good. Of course, a... Full review
