Goofs
When the character Murph was designing the app for Brooks he said "Object C Infrastructure". A real developer would never have referred to a programming language in this way. You can also see that he is using VSCode to write the app, which is unusual for a developer writing an iPhone app. Most likely they would have used Xcode on a mac.

Quotes
Lady with Brooks Walking: You want to know how you can tell if you're meant to be with someone? Just sit and have a conversation, some people when you talk to them, its like trying to listen to classical music on a radio with no antenna. You can push that dial back and forth all you want, but you only get the static. But when you're meant to be with someone, and they truly are the one, you just sit, start talking and a Beethoven sonata will begin to play

More than you would expect

I guess this movie is a little bit predictable, but also enjoyable and sends a really good message to the audience. The fact that nowadays everyone's obsessed with trying to be perfect, even though it's impossible to reach is quite pointed out.

I liked the chemistry that was between the two main characters and the fact that they would eventually end up together was a little prominent, but the storyline was much better than what you would expect just from the title of the movie alone.

It's nothing too complicated or twisted, but I feel like it's a good enough of a movie to watch on a lazy day and it also left a good feeling in you afterwards. I would recommend if you're looking for nothing too sensitive or serious, just some good swapped movie to watch.
