Watched it on the plane. Perhaps there was a lot of hype to it so it didnt end up as good as I had expected it to be. However, its a real story, so that gives it ALOT of plus points. It is a good story at the end of the day.

I kind of agree with that - at the end of the movie I was left with a sort of blank feeling, I guess because things didn't turn out how I had hoped or maybe because I found the ending to be a bit weird. Part of me is blaming it on the terrible quality of subtitles I had to watch it.

And I do agree about that being a true story is a plus and it is a good story, just not as good as I'd hoped it to be.

the thing i like in this that gave impact on me is the the conclusion that i hope for turn out the opposite which is very realistic, (not the weird scene^^), still..ending up not really my fave^^ no over dramatic scene ( comedy first 3/4 then drama like hell in the end)

I liked it! It's a really sweet and funny movie. I liked the ending too because it made the movie feel more realistic somehow. Even though the movie was really good, I thought it would be better (much better). So I was a little disappointed tbh. It's totally worth watching though!

I liked it, LOOL too funny at the end where he kissed her groom. I still wish they ended up together, but i guess it comes from a perspective where you would want the person you love to be happy, even if it means not being with you.
