REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@gamma.time have been close and finally landed a massive hit which everyone needs to watch.

Because this is brilliant - pitch perfect rom com, which is the same set up as The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds but way better.

Because this has heart, doesn't lean into crass jokes, every line has a purpose, and the performances are outstanding. Oh and made on a fraction of the budget in a fraction of the time. This is phenomenal

I've been a slow convert to @caymancardiff but worth the wait - I don't know of many others in the vertical space who have worked so hard on the craft, and he is sublime in this. Every reaction, every look, the comedy timing is spot on. But he also brings heart and tenderness, which isn't easy to do when you are very very tall. This is why in my eyes he is much better than Ryan Reynolds - he is a lot more versatile. Reynolds does one thing well, Cardiff has worked to ensure he can do a whole lot more and brings a much needed kindness to the screen.

@maggierosehudson is the perfect foil, Jenna is a tricky character to balance, she is difficult at the beginning, but thankfully this is well written enough to show it is more about a wariness of people and need for space, which a lot of us can identify with. And Hudson will devastate you at the end when she turns it all down because she thinks she doesn't deserve it. Powerhouse

And the supporting cast are all superb

@nicolocaruccio ensures Clark isn't too creepy, and may be a valid choice for Jenna

@eugabrielquintella does the best infuriating grin when trying to one up Jenna

Loved @sandiesepaniak as Brian's mum, instantly built a beautiful relationship with Jenna

Plus @darrellphilip getting to play a good guy for once (last remember him doing dastardly deeds as a Mayor)

It's all so well written - there are super lines, Brian's words about Jenna are well chosen 'she-devil' rather than b*tch, Jenna's explanation of why she has to work so hard (yes yes yes been there), and a super moment where our leads pair up to take on Clark. Thanks for that, nice to see a scenario that didn't go where I expected (Brian confronting Jenna about Clark etc)

Huge congrats to all.

Superb.

💖 Top swoonworthy moment:

Brian is the biggest green flag ever - but it is the little things, giving Jenna his blanket, and bringing her bourbon in the coffee to get through wedding planning. We have comedy but also emotion, the ending is beautiful when Jenna at the end feeling that she doesn’t deserve him or the promotion. This is so much better than The Proposal.

🦹🏼‍♂️ Top villain award:

Ah Devon who ropes Clark into his plan but has perhaps the best ending ever for a villain when he is sent to his room by his dad.

😂 Comedy gold:

Ok this is essentially the same set up as The Proposal. Cayman Cardiff is better than Ryan Reynolds. Because boy can he do the comedy timing and reaction looks, but he also has heart. There is a softness and heart here which I much prefer to Reynold’s overly polished patter. Every reaction from Brian made me giggle, and Maggie Rose Hudson is a super straight man.

🎺 Unsung hero:

Meg Dudley the scriptwriter - this is perfection. Dear lord please give this lady loads more work, she is brilliant and I want to watch everything she writes from now on.
