Rom-coms tend to cater more towards an older audience and for this reason I tend to shy away from them. Surprisingly, that wasn't the case for this movie. This film completely captured my attention and I was able to connect to it on a personal level. It was nice seeing someone else going through the same struggles that I am going through, and then little by little overcoming them in a humorous way. Odette Annable had a standout role. She was able to carry on the plot, which consisted of getting Gilby's life together, while also delivering her hilarious scenes and many punchlines without being awkward or cringy. Phil Allocco was able to portray the many hardships and heartbreaks in a very comical but meaningful way. He also provided a dynamic story-line without getting off-track and losing the audience, which is also another big deal in my eyes. A rom-com that actually had a meaning, therefore I will be recommending.
