I have just finished re-watching this movie. I was in a mood for romantic comedy and accidentally stumbled upon this movie. I remembered watching this a few years back, but could not seem to remember the story - so, I thought, 'Why not watch it again?' Now, I believed that it is not a bad decision to re-watch this movie.
Story wise, it has a cliché and light idea. A typical hate-to-love kind of story. However, I love how the relationship between the two main characters flow and develop at the perfect speed. It is not a random sparks of I love you, or a random flip to I love you. Their feelings develop slowly, and you can clearly see it in the movie; the small moments in which they start to feel something different from each other. Moreover, I also love how the humors are placed at the right time and right amount. It is not forced, and not too little for a romantic comedy. In short, it nailed both the romantic and comedic aspects of a romantic comedy movie.
Acting/cast wise, I loved both of the main leads. I saw the girl in ATM and the guy in The Best Brother. Although I do feel like the girl's crying scene looks a little bit unnatural, I can still tolerate it because she has done a great job throughout the rest of the movie. She nailed the comedic part and is not shy to act comedic - I think some pretty actresses have problem doing this. And for the guy, I love his gaze. He has a melancholic gaze, which could also turn playful when he needs to. When the camera zoomed into his eyes, my heart can't help but skip. Additionally, all the side characters also did a really good job. They are immersed in their characters and are all out in their acting!
Music wise, I have no complain about it. Although it is not the ear-worming kind of music, they managed to put the perfect music accompaniment for every scene and hence, those music successfully enhanced the feelings that are displayed in every scene. One drawback may be the lack of major memorable soundtrack that will remind people of this movie.
Should you rewatch it? Hell yes! Especially when you are looking for a good laugh, but also is feeling a bit romantic. It is perfect for that state of mind and heart.
Overall, I am really impressed by this movie. It managed to put to live both the romantic and comedic aspect; both in equal ratio.
