Can't believe I'm saying this but I actually liked it


Before I saw this film, I thought this was just gonna be another one of those mindless comedies that would only be enjoyed by college frat boys. As soon as the end credits started rolling, I was quite surprised. Sure it is a bit short, simplistic and cheesy, but at the same time it's also got this young-love side to it that I was able to enjoy. And the humor in it wasn't exactly laugh-out-loud funny but it was decent enough to at least chuckle to, which is okay. And I'm someone who's usually very picky about what I enjoy. Most romantic comedies nowadays are usually about a couple who can't stand each other at first but after their first kiss they start falling for each other. And this one wasn't like that. It seemed very original. I will say that it's one of those movies that was wrongly advertised. It's not a comedy about "hooking up."

I mean, shoot me for thinking this. I usually don't enjoy movies like this, but I actually thought this one wasn't half bad.
