Add a CommentSimple, low budget, film making. You know where it's going, but it is well done. It is not meant to be a slick romantic comedy. I do not know if it is a DOGMA film, but it has something of the look and feel of one: little make up, natural lighting, no costuming, natural settings, and so on. As such it is pretty good..
Movie was not done well at all. This movie was terrible “Dumb, boring and stupid.” Waste of time waste and of Electrical power.
This movie drags on and on, boring and just no story at all. Skip it
