Thoughts
I was fully expecting this to be a twenty minute rule movie, becuase, you know it's Netflix, but the service was pushing it quite hard and figured it was a good idea to watch it while I still have an active subscription. Oh man, I loved it. It got off to a slow start and I was still convinced it was being switched off but once we got to the twenty minutes, the challenge was in place, I had to see what happened.
I'm so glad to have stuck with it and seen this adorable romance and finding yourself story play out. The lawyer was just endlessly cute, and even though it was so obvious what was going to happen, that didn't seem to detract from the film where it usually would. It was just a very sweet, nice, moving story, told really well, with the excellent Connie Britton adding to her success rate. A hit for me!
