ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

missraze I totally disagree with mjmazza on the male lead being selfish!? First of all he comes to her aid, he's not a stranger; she knows him, he's a regular at her shop where she works. So seeing him wasn't going to be disturbing, he's basically a friendly familiar stranger.And then he offers to buy her clothes, that SHE wants. She keeps humbly declining and he insists. I mean he's asking her out. So he'll suggest or implore where they go, and he likes her so he'll insist.Then he tells her to order anything off the menu, he buys expensive gourmet meals and desserts for her! Then he buys her friend a gift, he introduces her to his albeit quirky family, as families mostly will be...he's also going around with her all day, it's nice, I would love if someone did this. He didn't tell her who he is because they have a rocky history, unbeknownst to her.Damn I wish I would make reviews right when the film comes out, hope their post didn't put anyone off it! It's such a great comedy, not a chick flick, z light but dark comedy. It's well acted, well written, nice summer vibe to it, I'm an Anglophile (even though the female lead at least is Irish) but when I 1st saw this in 2010 it was...like a gift that fell out the sky. It puts a smile on my face, it makes me feel warm inside like I'm drinking hot chocolate, it isn't unrealistic to me, just sweet and funny.

ck4045 This movie is amazingly wow. It is beautiful combination of keeping the positive perspective of life and the usual life's ups and downs. The director has conveyed an inspiring message that a good deed never gets wasted. What we do in life comes back to us, sooner or later. There is always a way back to be harmonious with the nature. Live the life with whatever it offers you. The movie goes at a constant rhythm. The conversation is yet so normal but one feels it something new. It is a rare movie of its own kind. Apparently two ordinary persons run into each other and start off a conversation that takes the day revealing very slowly the different shades of the personalities. The beauty of the movie is that it shows purity. We humans are very strange beings. The more we explore the beauty inside the more we get it and it never ends. In the end I would say that love overcomes all the hardships or for that matter anything. Bravo the director.

CrazyJo I hardly post comments, but I was compelled to do so because I only saw one other comment, and surely the film deserves much more than that. This is a film that took me by surprise and exceeded my expectations. The story is smart with a well-written script, and it's quite brilliant under the genre the film supposedly falls under - though calling it a "romantic comedy" would be a bit inadequate. Even a scene where a guy defends a girl in a bar is original...no profanity would've been more deserving than "coffee tosser". If you want to see a movie about romance but don't want to feel like you've been made a fool out of, then please do yourself a favor and see "In a Day".
