Is this what a Romcom is meant to feel like?

All throughout my childhood i always enjoyed watching romantic comedies with my mother and sister... i am sure you know the ones i'm talking about, from 27 Dresses to The Proposal, i have probably watched them all more times than i can possibly count. although i enjoyed watching them, i would constantly find myself looking and yearning for something that i could enjoy but also connect and relate to in ways all my straight friends did. I always wondered what if there was some LGBT representation, a queer Rom-Com? well i can proudly say i now understand that connect i constantly imagined of seeing on screen. This film was an pleasant surprise that i would recommend watching if you want an queer twist on a classic romantic film. I'm definitely not saying this is the greatest film ever... but i am saying its refreshing and beautiful story. i would certainly watch this film again. great plot and narrative kept me invested and engaged through the entire film.

The thing about Harry review

At first I didn't know if this was gonna be a good watch. On that day I stopped at the point where they had come back from the road trip and see if their friends wedding. I thought it was moving a bit too fast at the time. Then I took a few days off from watching this movie to come back to the movie so I could finish it and see how I really thought about the movie. By the time I finished that movie that second sit down to finish watching it. I loved the story it was so much better then I thought it would ever be. This is a lgbt/ gay/ boy love story. I thought the way they did the story where it felt like they were getting to know each other and finally being together after a couple of years was great way of doing it. The main complaint that I have with most romance movies is it too short and they made the seem like the two boy known each other for a week and already in love with each other. That not how love works in real life. I loved that this story fixed that problem by taking us into a lot of the moments they were together throwught the couple of years before they started dating. One of my scenes from this movie was the ending we're they were either taking care of a baby for a friend or they had adopted a baby if there own and were walking into the city. It was such a cute scene. I also liked the scene where Harry come to his job and told everyone he loved him and that he wasn't gonna go anywhere. Then Harry kiss him. That was a cute scene too. I recommend this story to everyone.
