The WORST romcom I have seen yet!

1 stars

13 Nov 2017

Zzzzz..zzzz.... oh, is the movie over?

The Story

The Story is about a book store owner falling love with a celebrity.

With a set up like that, you would think the film would be funny, if not interesting. But no, the film is just a boring slog because we have seen this set up happen in many other movies before. This film is just a slow slog and most are the jokes are just unfunny and unintentionally cringe worthy!

The Characters

None of the characters stood out or were memorable. Not even the comedic relief was that funny, just two chuckles and that’s it. The development goes exactly like you would think it would go, and it leaves the viewer bored beyond and reason they should be!

The Special Effects

The sound mixing in this film was the worst I’ve ever seen. You cannot hear the Characters speaking when the music is going on, so you are more bored and annoyed because you don’t know what’s going on or what the characters are talking about.

Final Thoughts

Overall, this is the WORST romcom I have ever seen! It is unfunny, takes forever to get anywhere and has characters that are just carbon copies of other characters from much better films!

Take my advice and skip this one!

The Story 0.5/5

The Characters 0.5/5

The Special Effects 1/5

Overall 0.5/5
