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

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

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
