A magnificent feel good rom-com. I do not understand how it’s ratings are so low. It fits a rom-com to the bit. The characters are beautifully written and backstories are too, I like that when speaking about the back story they don’t make it all gloomy, it keeps the charm of the movie. The location is phenomenal, so very dreamy and fantastical.
The side characters are all so amazingly written too! I loved how everyone has a personality, even the smallest role. Also, WALTER. ♥️ Need I say more? I was incredibly glad to see that they didn’t make the woman who was to marry the prince super annoying or unlikeable which is usually what happens. She was a genuinely nice character and it makes you root for her as well.
I hope the movie has a second part and dives into each of these characters lives, how they choose to manage the whole situation of the money and Izzy accepting the place as Director for the community centre. I loved the bit about being the change you wanna see in the world, needed to hear it.
People who are giving it negative reviews I believe have forgotten that a large part of cinema has been for it to be an escape. Something fantastical that takes your mind off things, this movie thrives at that. Maybe stop watching depressing thriller movies just because you want to look like you have artistic knowledge or better taste. Watch stuff that feels good, there’s enough pain and misery going around the world anyway. Why watch it too? These kind of movies, the ones that transport you and give you tears of joy, they are a blessing to the world.
