Fake dating plots aren't original but this is funnier than some. Whilst there needs to be a certain amount of awkwardness in this scenario, I think having more natural moments would have increased the rewatchability - I felt the pairing was less convincing at the end and lost a bit of momentum. However, I would like to see a sequel where they are more settled as a couple and helping each other with their creative projects, because that was the best scene. It's quite a big cast with a big age range, so there'd even be potential for a family TV series.

Funnier than some - series potential
Fake dating
This common premise of a fake relationship to make the meddling grandmas back off has nothing special going for it. A little chemistry between the leads, mediocre dialogue and zero tension. The climax is, you guessed it, anticlimactic precipitated after no conflict .
Snoozefest...
I couldn't even finish it and I love cheesy romantic movies. It was boring, the leads had no chemistry between them and the female protagonist seemed bored and like she didn't want to be a part of the movie.
