Not my cup o' tea

Rating: 5/10 (24 July 2018)

I'll just throw this out there: I'm not a big rom-com fan. And that's probably why I'm not a big fan of this movie. While the filmmaking is genuinely competent and well thought-out, the script is predictable and essentially every rom-com cliché is thrown in. The performances are as good as they can be, what with lazy and contrived writing; particularly Lisa Kudrow and several one-scened background characters. And I can say I wasn't bored throughout the movie. Personally, I think this kind of story would work much better in a one-act play. If you don't like romantic comedies, I don't think this movie will particularly sway you.
