A quirky movie with an unexpected sense of humor. Suspend your disbelief and just enjoy how weird it is.

Adorable and quirky with a fun late 90’s soundtrack! For the dreamers!

Funny, quirky romance. Not Danny Boyles best but he can do no wrong.

Surprising, philosophical, funny, truly a romantic comedy

A quirky love-story! Danny Boyle's whimsy-90's-modern tale of romance w/ crime & angels thrown in!...featuring a great cast & soundtrack!

Really plausible onscreen chemistry between Diaz and McGregor.

Funky, crazy, quirky, sweet. It’s so all over the place, but great, too.

A completely original rom-com, from the story to the cinematography and production design. Got some dark humor without losing its tenderness

This is what happens when success goes to a filmmaker’s head, and it’s part of why I think Danny Boyle is overrated. Just a bad, ugly movie.

It's really funny, a better thought out and fleshed out plot version of excess baggage. Give it a go it's well worth it
