    ★ 9/10

    Sometimes it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. This is a rom-com. You know where it's going to end up. You know that they're toying with you the whole time. But it's fun the entire time. Not a wasted moment. Never lags. It's just light fun. They don't make enough of these, executed this well, nowadays.
