The "leave a guy instead of talk it out" trope.


You can pretty much predict how it starts and ends. There's also the obligatory scene in the middle where the woman leaves the guy because of a huge misunderstanding which could have been avoided if she had just talked things out with him. Please! No! Stop!

I think it's a movie that is full of personality, character and quality acting. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried at least twice throughout the duration. I also think it follows a tired formula that romance movies need to break out of.
