You can see where the plot is going since the very first moments, but isn't this the case for a lot of rom-coms? Except for, a lot of them actually end up being fairly gripping.
It wasn't the case for this one. The storyline ended up being really lame, and the characters were absolutely dull. While it's true that Meghan Markle's character sparks it up a little bit, her acting is really underwhelming, though not altogether terrible. The main character, Laura, is instead more believable, but the story and the photography really ruin all her efforts (see the 10-second scene where she stares at something in the distance in an attempt to show her deep thinking).
Just like many school projects, you can see potential and have an occasional laugh, but they still remain... school projects.
The camera angles and filming were particularly bad.
