It's an hour-and-a-half that feels like a decade, so you're left desperately searching for something to end the misery.

Netflix’s newest rom-com is middling and mindless.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The film's match-making subtlety, let's say, is some way short of Jane Austen level.

Rated: 2/5

commendable for showing you’re never too old for love, but in highlighting the gorgeous locations, it forgets to spotlight the romance.

Lyles' Movie Files

Trades in rom com cliches. The fleeting moments of originality quickly get stomped out in favor of the safe, predictable (read: boring) route. There was enough potential here to make the film work, but very little manages to come together.

Rated: 3/10

Doesn’t rom-com stand for romantic comedy? Weird because there isn’t any comedy in this painfully long and cheesy film.

There's a place for cheesy rom coms, but there is no place for this movie in the world. It was truly awful, multiple times I felt myself physically cringing at the awful story lines, script and acting. Spare your self and don't watch.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The acting was very very bad. Chad Michael Murray was the only highlight for me and he was barely in it.
