I started watching this movie just due to my recent admiration for the writers, and the fact that I live in Melbourne. Reading a few of the reviews on here prior to watching this though did make me wonder if it was even worth my time.....
Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised. The story is simple enough - boy meets girl at a reunion, boy royally screws things up, boy attempt to win girl back whilst understanding his own existence.
Personally, I loved the snappy dialogue, and although Ben had his flaws, he remained a lovable protagonist all the same. His love interest Alex was portrayed fantastically by Rachael Taylor, and Ben's various friends and family reinforced his both his charm and downfalls. Finally, the backdrop of Melbourne became the ultimate star of the movie with its romantic scenery and incredible events that add to the pace of the story.
Do yourself a favour - if it is a rainy night, snuggle up on the couch with a cup of peppermint tea and lose yourself in this romcom.
