SEEN 6 SEPT
Rewatched this after the initial theatrical run and it holds up even better on a second viewing. Details in the background that I missed the first time around add so much to the world-building. The lead pair have genuine chemistry, which honestly saves a script that's fairly thin on plot. Comedy track involving the extended family is hit or miss — mostly hit, occasionally overstretched. Cinematography leans heavily on wide establishing shots that slow the pace but look gorgeous. By the end I wasn't thinking about the plot holes anymore, just enjoying the ride. Not a perfect film but a genuinely fun one.

Saving this comment thread, want to revisit after I watch it.
Adding this to my list based on your review.
The runtime is the only real complaint I have.
This is the kind of film that needs a big screen.
The rating feels fair, maybe even a touch generous.
Still thinking about the ending days later.
The interval block alone is worth the ticket honestly.
Curious if you've seen the director's earlier work too.
The writing is sharper than people gave it credit for.
Been going back and forth on watching this, your review tipped it.
Took a chance on this because of your rating. No regrets.
Completely agree — that scene stuck with me too.
Honestly this deserved a much wider release.
Everyone slept on this when it released.
The pacing in the first hour is genuinely excellent.
I wanted to love this more than I did.
The pacing in the first hour is genuinely excellent.
Watched it FDFS and the theatre response was something else.
This one's better the less you know going in, agreed.
I keep coming back to that one sequence near the interval.
