REVIEW
Right from the opening scene we’re told this will not be your typical love story. But in many ways it really is because relationships do not always turn out the way one would want it to nor does this film.
For starters it does not follow the conventional timeline: it jumps around back and forth with title cards indicating which particular day it is. These short vignettes are presented at a fairly rapid pace so thing move along smartly.
And best of all, it does not subject us to dumb corny jokes for laughs relying instead on the situation and clever dialogue to elicit laughter. How refreshing.
CLASSIFICATION
for sexual material and language.
