Worst romcom I have ever watched
As so many other reviews, we start with a very tacky female lead. Her boyfriend of 4 years breaks up with her. A very annoying, clichéd gay best friend tells her how she have never had a stable relationship... uhm? Are 4 years not a stable relationship???
Also best friend only eggs her on the be a horrible human being and then never feautres again.
In the villa... worst acting I have ever seen!!
The supposed pranks... GAG!
Atracting a hoard of cats (who apparently only uses windows, not doors) to attempt to get the guy to move out - that is ATTEMPTED MURDER!! And in NO WAY even slightly funny!
The whole I need more clothes, so let me, on my 3rd grade teacher salary go buy out a whole boutique (uncomfortable high heels and a new handbag for each outfit included) and then seemingly leaving all of that in the Villa when she leaves???? And the scarf?? Why???
Zero chemistry between the two leads. At no point did I think "Go on and kiss the girl..." (hope you sang the little mermaid song as you read that)
Her telling the vineyard boss the 'secret' on his business proposal... possibly costing him his job after already jeopridising it with getting him arrested)... again GAG!
WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!
*I had to watch to the end because it was a movie selected for a girls night.
Trust me, my displeasure was very clear. - seshygrl89 - 20 May 2023
Female lead was totally unsympathetic and obnoxious
The character of Julie felt more like a villain and I just felt bad for all of the bad stuff she put Charlie through. She took out all of her frustrations of her failed relationship and bad trip on him when he was an innocent bystander and he felt bad enough for her to let her stay in the flat. She repays him by giving him a severe allergic reaction and getting him arrested which could have cost him his job. The stuff she did to him was far worse than what he did to her and when the romance started to suddenly "spark" between them for really no reason I couldn't find myself invested. Felt like she deserved to end up alone in the end because she's a horrible person. For how awful she was to him there is no way they would end up together, ever. Completely unbelievable story and development.
