- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone in the mood for a love story and anyone who wants a laugh, this one's for you. Low effort, high reward: just press play. Shelve it next to Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 33 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
