8/10
Predictible movies can be enjoyable

This story was absolutely predictable. Actually the story followed 3 couples and all of them were predictable.

The roommate's story was the old misunderstanding which I won't expand on, but you've seen it almost exactly many times.

I kind of enjoyed Rex and Veronica's story. It didn't occupy a lot of screen time but it was a nice story even if you knew it was coming.

With Lilly, I saw the source of the conflict as soon as...., well won't spoil that either, but it was obvious pretty early. Stupid me, I totally missed the source of the resolution even though it was pretty obvious too. Nevertheless, I enjoyed Lilly and Jeff together. Another reviewer said they were so natural and I think that was it.

My one complaint is when people like Lilly cut their nose off to spite their face because of what comes down to pride. There is a reason for the well known proverb: it's not what you know, it's who you know. It's not right, but it's life. She got dinged by it once, so accept it when what goes around comes around. It's not like she wasn't qualified and it happens a lot that the most qualified doesn't get the reward. Live with it when you get it. Or not - just whine about how unfair life is. This rant is a little harsh, but I get so tired of how many movies and books do this.
