Ok ok, i understand why certain films are overlooked and get no interest but im drawing a line here.. Simon Pegg is one of the last brilliant unsung heroes of our time , do yall remember shaun of the dead or hot fuzz or maybe Paul with s rogen? Does that ring a bell? Well for the love of all thats good people i bought this blind cause i know it will be worthy of at least one good laugh AND perchance if were lucky something to make us think as well! Im sorry to be such a dik, just give it a chance!

I enjoyed this from start to finish. It was so personal and heartwarming and relatable. I laughed, I cried, I thought about my own happiness. Simon pegg i kinda sorta love you now 😊

What a charming movie. It's slow but a lovely story. Just hang in there and savor every moment of it. Not a comedy but funny, not a tear jerker but poignant, not a drama but edge of your seat action. It's charming lovely and beautifully done. Suspend your disbelief, go with the flow and enjoy this little gem.
