A funny mix of formula and surprise
19 December 2024
A good part of this so follows a formula that it felt like a Hallmark movie. What saves it early on is the charm of the two leads, who are gently believable together. The gallery is a nice touch too. The formulaic progress stutters a little, stopping and starting in disconcerting ways. Then it seems to settle into a predictable flow and even hits the required obstacle. But the way it comes back (per custom) is awkward and then new obstacles are, if anything, maddening, raising larger issues which never quite feel resolved and leading to some real problems of pacing for the rest of the journey. But there is enough real humanity and feeling to make much of it engaging. Pleasant enough, but not quite satisfying.
