Enjoyable Romantic Comedy

I have seen better, but I have also seen way worse. This film doesn't pretend to be an angsty reflection of humanity, it's rather a successful light-hearted journey to a more unexplored part of the world. I had a few belly-laughs, but mainly enjoyed the journey with the characters.It's definitely not a film for pseudo-intellectuals and will not spark in-depth conversations at a pub, but it will make the average day seem a bit more enjoyable and could leave you with a smile on your face.

Hard to like the movie if one can't like the lead characters

Love conquers all

A feel good intercontinental love story, encompassed by undeniable humor, indifference, understanding and some good old nostalgia. Subtly taking on everything you would expect to see in the ingredients for a perfect love story: wholesome, healthy and fulfilling.Leading Lady left me smiling and believing that love will always prevail, be it in a big city or on a small farm forgotten by time, held together by hope. If you do anything this weekend - make sure it includes Leading Lady and some popcorn!A definite 10/10
