I love it just as it is!

Rating: 7/10 (21 March 2020)

Zellweger's electrifying and charming performance as the quirky and awkward titular heroine single-handedly made me, at least for a moment, think that this conventional and predictable rom-com is way more witty than it actually is. I mean, I didn't expect to sympathize with such a character as I did. What really infuriate me is that I don't think this film needed to be that silly and schmaltzy at all. It had potential to be worthy of Zellweger's exceptional performance if it ignored the conventions of its sub-genre and the unnecessary, redundant twists near the end. Actually, I think it would have been much better if it had leaned towards being dramatic than farcically comedic. Regardless, it's still a delightful and endearing film. And, to be honest, I love it just as it is!
