What a lovely, sweet little surprise. This movie isn’t going to to change the world or start a revolution or change anyone’s life, but it was an enjoyable little cuddle of a movie. And maybe that’s enough. The movie stars … Continue reading
I enjoyed a decent amount of this film but feel that, while retaining the themes, it kind of lost the plot half-way through. And that’s a little unfair since the movie has a premise – young woman joins New York … Continue reading
