This movie started stronger than it ended, but I would still recommend giving it a watch.

It was charming, funny, and touching, with loads of quotable lines.

I’m betting this truth bomb made most of us wince in our temptation to run and duck for cover.

>“Why can't I do the things I want to do? There's so much I know I'm capable of that I never actually do. Why is that?”

>“The trick is to realize that you're always doing what you want to do... always. Nobody's making you do anything. Once you get that, you see that you're free and that life is really just a series of choices. Nothing happens to you. You choose.”

And this scene…

>“I'm sorry about when we met. The uh lap dancing, piercing, festival comment. I didn't know you were having such a hard time.”

>“So, you're only awful to people who don't have problems. That's good to know.”

… Is a reason why this quote and variations of it are so common.

>“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”

Not a good rom com, but definitely not the worst.

Found this on Kanopy and realized there is more than one way to waste talent. This one showed off a few ways. Could have been wonderful, but got caught up in its story instead of the funny. Too bad.
