A un minuto de ti

To preface this review, usually I love a good rom-com. But this movie had a thin, senseless plot and a really bad case of overacting that it just wasn't very enjoyable. Sophie Cookson, playing the lead and unlucky character Minnie, was unfortunately so dramatic and squeaky it became annoying. The actor playing Quinn, Lucien Laviscount from Emily in Paris, was slightly more understated but still was exuding borderline school-play level acting. I would hope it was a result of poor direction, as I don't remember this poor acting in their previous works that I've seen. The supporting cast were just okay.

Beyond the acting, I just don't think the plot translated very well into a movie, like it couldn't create a balance between whimsy and realism. It definitely wasn't nailing being a comedy. I haven't read it, but perhaps the book was better.

Either way, maybe the film just wasn't my cup of tea and others will enjoy this type of cheesy acting and direction. If you don't though, I'd give this one a skip.

Director Nick Moore brings us the adaptation of the novel by Sophie Cousens who also wrote the script for the film in which we are left with one of those pleasant and sweet romantic comedies that meet expectations.

The main characters are the beautiful Sophie Cookson and the handsome Lucien Laviscount, who share their chemistry so that we can enjoy their beautiful love story on screen, which the main couple makes fit perfectly with their complicity and dedication. We also have a good supporting cast that offers outstanding moments, in which John Hannah, Monica Dolan and Golda Rosheuvel stand out.

A well-crafted story that, as it progresses, meets all the requirements to enjoy those British romantic comedies that we like so much; it doesn't strive to give what it doesn't seek to give and pleases the viewer with the right doses of having a simple, fun and well-made film without aspiring to be among the best in history.

It offers drama when necessary, it offers sympathy when it is worth it and it offers romance when we need it, a well-constructed film that allows itself to have references to great classics and also knows how to mix themes that touch the precise keys to enjoy a correct proposal of living love.

Charming characters, a believable and enjoyable romantic story with that touch of British humour that pleases everyone. A weekend film to enjoy with the family and above all for lovers of a genre that is always, always enjoyable to watch.

This film is trope after trope after trope after trope.

Whilst this is very much a paint by numbers romcom, it's actually very enjoyable. All of the characters are rather two dimensional, nothing happens in the film at all that is a surprise, but I found myself invested in the story and really rather enjoyed it.

This really isn't the kind of film that is likely to go on and win any awards, but for an evening curled up on the sofa with a glass of wine it's really quite cute. It addresses love, mental health, self doubt and I don't think it can be classified as a spoiler if I tell you it has a happy ending.

It feels like the movie lasts the whole year!

Minnie is an insufferable brat that believes her life is just a strike of bad luck, until she meets a guy who was born exactly the same day as her and may have stolen her luck.

That is the premise of a potentially interesting romantic comedy, but then starts to go sooo slow and nothing seems to happen

The parents characters are good actors but their storylines are not developed at all, you never really understand what was their point in the story.

I still don't know if it was a comedy or a drama but in any case it was a bad movie. Minnie is not a relatable character is clumsy and annoying and you feel like Quinn is actually too good for her.

Simple and cute romcom, perfect for a cozy night in and it is an original story compared to others. Lighthearted, feel good and funny! I don't agree with the reviews saying it is shallow and overplayed...It is cheesy yes as all rom coms should be! Plot is original, actors are good and the characters are not badly portrayed. I am not very familiar with British romantic comedies but it seemed different from what we are used to and not a typical Netflix romcom in my view. It is apparently adapted from a book which I have not read therefore cannot comment on the adaptation/ screenplay itself. Would recommend.
