An Inconvenient Love (2022)

Cute Umbrellas and Sweet but meeh

This is a story about the poor girl who wanted to marry Jungkook as a way to avoid getting in to a complicated relationship and the boy who come from a very complicated yet wealthy family...

The two basically fall in love if it was before or after an umbrella unfolded is unclear but I am pretty sure a see though umbrella had something to do with their feelings of attraction.. .in another Donny and Belle movie... one of those where you basically know what you are getting in to ones you start watching. Not a lot of substance but more melted cheese than Pizza Hut uses world wide in a year.

The leads acting and chemistry is decent, they look very comfortable with each other on screen which is probably a result of being paired together a lot, but I do not see a lot more. There is not much steam instead we get a cloud of fluff to cover 80% of the film.

There are som nice lines here and there, cliches... Lovely umbrellas, the umbrellas of this drama are mentioned more than most of the supporting characters, so the creators of this did indeed show some umbrella appreciation. There is alos some obvious IKEA presence done cute.

The parents including step paren are portrayed as as both loving, selfish, controlling I will leave it to you to find out which is which, But warn you that some of these people could use an acting lesson or 10 , which is a shame.

There are som cute portrayals of friendship as well as brotherhood. To be perfectly honest I am not really sure if the brother is there to add depth or spice, but there is a brother with a mental disability in here that is portrayed the same way people with mental disabilities are often portrayed with the added bonus of how his own family treats him.

All in all an ok watch, nothing I recommend but nothing I advise against either.

UGH

So, spoiler alert, no kiss, on the lips. Ugh. No final kiss, nothin.

Now for my real review:

Ayef is an aspiring animator, but unfortunately they drop the ball in showcasing what she is capable of other than the thesis, her styling, it lacks the small details that make it a perfect whole. Other than that, pretty well written and honestly, acted. Ayef's actress, 9/10 for acting. Honestly.

Manny. Oh boy, we don't know much about him except for these few facts: He doesnt like his dad, likes his mum, but the mum is shit, also the dad, he has siblings, he has a plant shop, you know, that's a lot of detail. Nvm. I dont know where I was I going with that. Honestly, Manny is a king. 10/10

The story as a whole, had a few weird pacings like the scene where Terry and Filemino (Ayef's parent's) go hard at each other, so Ayef runs away from that very heavy scene and suddenly, romantic music plays and lo and behold, Mr. Manny there to save the day. But yes, I approve of this movie, You might think that the rating is low, but that is a high rating for a typical rom com.

The side character's do not contribute much other than to give comic relief, or emotional pain and anger. But they're okay written, so it's fine.

That's all.
