General impression:
Lukewarm. Not bad, not extraordinary, not memorable. I like Emily Blunt, and probably she’s the reason I watched this movie until the end, although, to be perfectly honest, I was pinning on Pinterest at the same time. This movie was not catchy enough for me, and, although the story is romantic, it’s rather romance for the mind – cool and keeps its distance. The concept is not bad, nor is the execution… but that’s not enough for this movie to cross the line between fine and great.

Highlights:
The ideas underlying the movie have a nice dose of freshness.

Downside:
Not enough feeling for a movie that needed it.

Would I see it again? – Umm… no

My Rating (1 to 10): 7

Recommended: Umm… yeah…

Suggestion:
This is a good choice if, meanwhile, you’re baking – you can pause it, resume, pause again. Most likely, your pie won’t get burnt.
