Thoughts

I loved this, what a great rom-com! Two gorgeous people fussing and fighting and gallavanting around Australia gradually falling in love, it’s great. Funny in all the right places, and with nudity and crude jokes that don’t feel grubby, plus I love the fact that nothing is thrown away. The coffee has an impact a few times, the cookie theft comes back in a surprisingly emotional way, it’s all there for a reason. All the Shakespeare stuff went over my head, but doesn’t matter, I loved it.
