Gorgeous scenary; top cinematography just the script-writing is ??!!!?!? what.?
26 March 2024
Another one of these tired and cliched romantic love rom comedies except there is no comedy. The jokes are terrible from a bad fish and chips' reference to other dull quips in the opening sequences.

Cliched airport scene which has used been used before is the opening sequence for the character interaction. Then they of course end-up on a bus together. He starts examining his camera and it turns out he's a professional photographer except the lens adaptation is nowhere near enough what a pro would use and then the corny bus journey which is so damn awkward and has me fighting not to switch off my tv. She leaves him and discusses to her friends that he's the 'Cheeky Englishman'...dull and tired script-writing.

The cinematographer of the movie does indeed work overtime and that can't save a mediocre and lacklustre script. It's a movie for a certain demographic in dreamland and aimed at young American women. It's just so dull and stereotyped and poorly-written.

The pub scene is so asthetics gone wrong. There's three casks otb but all are off. Why? It looks forced. Staged. The 'fancy photographs' from his 'journalistic photoshoot' are to be hung on the pub's wall. Just more cheese. Corny as hell.

Yet he's a journalist covering a sheep-shearing tournament!!?!! And he flew over??!!! I don't get it at all. It's so much dross only x minutes' in and the rest of the hour + of this drivel is too much for me.

I don't like to stereotype the audience as much as this movie sterotypes cultures but.....Couldn't even finish longer than half an hour. It's bad. Then there's the cringe clothes and betox and ugh....

There's lots of good romantic rom coms just not this. I couldn't finish it.
