Worth a Watch

Rating: 7/10 (2 October 2017)

I definitely consider this movie part of the chic flick genre which I usually avoid, but I could not stop myself from watching Emilia Clarke. It was so refreshing to see her doing something besides the mother of dragons. Don't get me wrong -- I love the Khaleesi as much as every other strong woman and Game of Thrones fan, but in this movie, I found her personality, likability and sometimes playful quirkiness delightful. It was mesmerizing and enough to make me glad I had watched the movie. Of course Sam Claflin is brilliantly handsome so there was no hardship there, either.
I found the movie somewhat reminiscent of The Fault in our Stars but without the waterworks that movie elicited. I would have preferred a different ending, but we don't always get what we want.
I wouldn't recommend watching this movie with a boyfriend but if you have a free night or want a slow night with a gal pal and a glass of wine, this movie might be worth a watch.
