This is kind of a strange movie. Forced coincidences and fabricated fate don't make for a memorable romantic movie.
Being a remake of a 1976 romantic-comedy Soviet TV Film (called "The Irony of Fate", which I don't think you can watch for comparison purposes).. does certainly not make it original, and the clichés don't help! But it has been modernized, for better or worse.
Considering this has been planned and worked on since 2006 leaves a lot to be desire, be it dialogue or general script-quality..
But I quite like Emma, and thought she was really quirky and charming, enough for me enjoy watching her throughout. She just fits the role well and wished she got better parts.
The rest of the cast have fitting roles, make for decent moments and interactions. Ultimately, I'm not sure if the Direction is the problem, or a lack of interest for what is ultimately a streaming film. Being based on "the style of the film The Proposal (2009)" probably tells you more than you need to know. Like it or hate it, it's okay and probably too bland to recommend!
