Great concept and it wasn’t heavy handed. It was funny and thoughtful. The lead actor did a great job. His whole character embodied what this film was about. The ending is ____ too. 😉

Whatever the intent, the execution isn’t all the way there, and that’s the biggest disappointment of all.

[An] unevenly written but good-looking directorial debut that gradually runs out of steam.

A socially conscious romantic comedy, and if those two modes don’t sound compatible, [writer/director] Libii does nothing to alter that impression.
