It's quite a pleasant spectacle. Nothing surprising happens in it and everything develops exactly as you expect, but thanks to the likable actors who really fit together and some really funny moments, it doesn't even matter. Moreover, I was pleased with the (sort of) open ending.

For the first time in a long time, a film that pleasantly surprised me. Catherine was indescribably divine. Justin Bartha's character perfectly set the film up where it needed to be. I'm really impressed with how the filmmakers made a non-everyday story into a non-everyday and original film. Kudos to the child actors as well... fun performances. For me number one, absolutely.

Compared to Prime, I missed someone like Meryl Streep here, but I still don't regret spending an hour and a half on this American romantic comedy. I liked the cast, I liked a lot of the scenes and I actually laughed at many of them. And I can say that compared to many romantic comedies, this one had a really well handled ending. In short, a nice and light mood-boosting movie that may smack of cliché, but what doesn't these days. P.S. The scene that got me the most was the one where Aram is reading Harry Potter while Sandy tells him she's pregnant.
