We liked it

My mom and I went to see it and we liked it. Beautiful scenery, good characters, and a decent story (once we figured out what it was about). The beginning jumped right in, like a sequel and left us feeling like we had missed out on the previous story, but things were slowly revealed.

This was no academy award winner, sure, but I found it enjoyable, and not overly fluffy. They aren't making any romances anymore and I miss going and seeing them. It's escapism. Feel good storylines, beautiful scenery, pretty people. We need more of this.

We almost didn't go because we heard all of the controversial casting and what a horrible movie it was. It wasn't bad.

I'd love to see more Under the Tuscan Sun, Chocolat, 50 First Dates, You've Got Mail, and some cute Doris Day types.

And really, what's the last romance that was made that got any decent reviews?

I see all the Marvel with my husband, the art house with my son, and the Pitch Perfect types with my daughter. What's wrong with a little romance for us moms?

I'm not sure I followed the plot or if it made any sense (private company with that amount of capability) but the presence of Rachel McAdams is sufficient to have enjoyed watching it.
