I watched because of the cast. I do not really like "stupid" funny movies. But, I like some of the actors' other projects, and thought I'd give it a try. I usually can find something funny in an Adam Sandler movie if someone else is watching it. This was from his company, so I expected it to be the stupid funny type of movie. But, nothing was funny here.

If you love movies like Ave Ventura or Dumb and Dumber, then this is probably the movie for you. If you only find the occasional gag in these types of movies funny, then this is not the movie for you. None of the gags are funny and some are grosser than expected. If you enjoy watching vomiting repeatedly (which ironically happens in the first Pitch Perfect film, also starring Adam Devine) and snot all over someone's face for far too long, then make some popcorn and sit down for this one. You'll love it.

I loved the lead actors. They had real chemistry. I wouldn't be surprised if they are a real-life couple. But, the story was great and not preachy, which can be a concern for Hallmark movies when they try to be socially aware. I am enjoying the female empowerment being center stage with the romance a half-step behind. I'm adding these two to my list of actors whose movies I always check out.

I love Hallmark movies, in part because of their cheesy predictability. It was a little more funny than some others. I actually laughed out loud more than once. It was nice to see the individuals be mature about their decisions and finding themselves on their own for a change. The lack of the usual instance of one of the people overhearing the worst part of a conversation taken out of context and then being upset about it was refreshing. That trope gets old. This movie was refreshing and a little different than the standard Hallmark romance.
