THOUGHTS:
Wonderful romantic comedy made for thinking adults with a full emotional range. The characters are imperfect, but charmingly so, and the complicated situations they find themselves in are handled decently and thoughtfully. The three exceptionally charismatic leads make the screenplay feel spontaneous and unfussy, and Shelton’s direction affords them plenty of space and time to inhabit their characters and take them from Point A to Point B. A real gem.
