Lovely little dessert of a movie about two estranged formerly-married parents who convene in Bali in an attempted wedding coup when their daughter falls for a local way too fast-felt like a wonderful little mini-vacation. Not every movie has to be gritty and full of conflict and tense moral situations. This movie felt more like a wonderful little getaway that you spend with some friends. So while the story itself was "okay" and it's not some pinnacle of dramatic Oscar-worthy storytelling, it's not afraid to be what it wants to be: a gentle, sun-washed rom com with real heart. It's the cinematic equivalent of comfort food or a nice hike on a warm day (albeit after the first twenty minutes or so).
