Absolutely loved it! This is the best one of these type films that Netflix has done in a good while. 🥰

What a disappointment! Despite the beautiful setting of Italy, this film could not be more boring and disengaging. The main character, Lina, was personally not someone that I felt that I could sympathise with, or root for; she was, for the most part, just very, VERY annoying and not played well by the actress unfortunately. On the whole, this film had some nice parts I guess, like the setting, but it somehow managed to seem too fast paced, yet incredibly slow at the same time. I’ve actually ended up watching this film in about 4 ish parts, as the main character is that annoying, and the plot so uninteresting that it is genuinely very tough to get through. I can’t speak for the book as I have not read it, but it wouldn’t take a lot for it to top it’s film adaptation. Overall, it’s definitely one of the most lacklustre rom-com films Netflix has released in recent years, possibly the worst.

Loved the musical for years, was slightly confused with the changes they made (song re shuffle, axing a character, lyric changes at times) but I was pleasantly surprised, I knew Anthony would be perfect for this role and of course he was, so happy to see Olga back and the cameos from past cast/ hamilton related references were also appreciated. The story and songs are all brilliant (we already knew that going into this though) I’m not even Latina but it makes me so happy and proud. It’s a must watch and a truly feel good happy watch!! Highly HIGHLY recommend!!!!

So good! Such a good uplifting, feel good film that makes you feel all patriotic! The soundtrack is actually pretty good and was tear wrenching at the end! Gave us the eurovision experience we all know and love. Definitely had me smiling and laughing at times too! Highly, highly recommend.
