Budget tropey romcom, enjoy it for what it is
15 March 2024
It's nice to see Lindsay Lohan again, but this movie is not her best work, nor Ed Speeler's. It's mildly enjoyable if you feel like watching a mindless tropey romance, predictable and familiar. There's a love triangle, an element of magic, wedding weekend, meet-cute, caught in a rainstorm etc, so you really feel the similarities to other good romcoms from the 90s & 00s, but it definitely feels like cheaper quality.

Good parts of the film were the scenery, and that the story moved at a good pace since the movie is a standard 1h 30m. Weaknesses were in the cliche unrealistic dialogue (especially with side characters) and the lack of creativity in the story and execution. In no way a classic and I probably wouldn't rewatch it but I enjoyed it for what it was.
