Warning: Spoilers
There are several detractors who have panned the film saying that all the positive reviews are all done by the actors, directors and friends families to give the movie a good rating Well both my wife and I are none of those We been married for 45/47 years and loved the show It is a mixture of several other shows we love and like Legally Blonde (LB), Letters to Juliet (LTJ) and Just My Luck (JML) A girl who is deeply in love with her boyfriend thinks that the dinner date that was arranged was going to be a wedding proposal and had secretly bought two tickets for a surprise trip to Turkey Instead her boyfriend breaks up with her (ala LB) She is shattered and is left with four choices Cancel the trip and not go, sell the tickets or find a substitute Unfortunately for her the tickets are non transferable so she can't sell them She always wanted to see the world so cancelling the trip was a no go So that left her with finding a substitute with the same name (Ala Just my Luck) So under the persuasion of her two best friends they seek out prospective boyfriends but all they come up with are not suitable Finally they whittle it down to the last one and she has no choice but to take him along They do not get on very well in the beginning because in her eyes he's just a travel companion and not worthy of her full attention Also she finds him nerdy and boring but then she discovers his hidden talents that she and her friends had failed to pick up during their initial investigations of him She starts warming up to him and he acts a real gentleman refusing to sleep in the bed with her or taking advantage They fight and scream at each other but slowly they learn to accept each other's foibles Matters come to a head when they due to catch a ferry to their next destination but because he is late they miss the boat by minutes They try leap onto the ferry but instead land up, cases and all in the water They are picked up by another boat and taken to theor next port of call At this point the man that plucks them out of the water remarks that they must be very much in love to have both jumped into the eater From there on the budding romance blossoms and they fall in love Meantime Ami's friends discover that Joshua had another girlfriend and informs her But just before they manage to break the news to her via Skype or what ever video conference call they communicate on she finds a ring in Joshua s pocket and thinks he's going to propose to her She puts the ring on then her friends call her She's excited to tell them but they scream at her to listen and break the news to her She is shattered and their relationship sours She is coolish towards him but she had a problem She couldn't take the ring off as it was too tight so after he proposes to her with the empty ring box (he had not checked if the ring was there) the go to have the ring cut off They then go their separate ways and it looks like the end but it's far from over Joshua goes to see his other girlfriend and discovers that she had fallen out of love with him and was sleeping with someone else He leaves then travels the world jumping into different pools, waters and lakes taking photos of himself She in the meantime is not very happy but then her one friend discovers what Joshua is doing and makes Ami do a post telling her side of the story when Joshua arrives and the two of them make up Unfortunately I never saw the clip after the credits so can't really comment on what happened afterwards but from what I saw of it it looks like it was something very positive We enjoyed the show very much and would definitely watch it again Sadly it was just a one time showing on the TV channel so hopefully it will be shown again someday
