Ratings and reviews

This is a fun and touching love story that doesn’t hide from the difficulties of relationship issues, and doesn’t candy coat the ending. The statements about love are subtle but grounded: how much does one sacrifice for the other loved one, and is such a sacrifice healthy? This is the most refreshing aspect of the film, as most romantic comedies are frightened to take a hard look at the realities of relationships, whether these relationships are just starting, or are really digging into the nitty gritty of long term (marriages, etc.). Thankfully, the end of the film expresses two people’s lives going in different directions in different cities, although they are both thinking of each other and missing one another. Is this also not part of the cycle of love, and should separation not also be part of what the various aspects of relationships that films explore? It’s clear Rosetti and his crew love Tulsa. Ample establishing shots give a very good sense of the city, the environment the characters live in is both beautiful, gritty at times, and yet inviting.

Loved the characters and the realistic way they portrayed the complexity of relationships.

simple, sweet, captivating.
