Trying to broaden the rom-com...

This is a true feelgood movie, trying to be a more liberal but succeeding with the base genre without more ado. It is a warm, pleasing experience, best suited for anxiety-filled hung-over Sundays.

Although classical stereotypes shine through, the film makes an honest attempt to broaden the rom-com genre by being more liberal-minded and equal in attitude.

What gives the film an edge are the side characters - as previously pointed out, fronted by the brilliant doctor in the hospital scene. Joof's sense of detail (in this way most close to classic Disneys) does not save the movie however, and it ends a pleasant but short memory.
