Summary
A symbolic representation of Netflix failing in the most basic concept of quality over quantity.
Honestly, if I were not reviewing this film I would have turned it off at the twenty minute mark. It was more than a slog to get through and at times became actively annoying for me.
This film perfectly encapsulates the idea of the irritating entitled American abroad who thinks that it is okay to talk down to the locals and who is a baffled that they don’t have the latest technology that she is used to. Christina Millan plays the lead character as such a brat that you will find it hard to feel anything towards her other than contempt.
Moreover, the story structure is beyond basic and feels copied and pasted over from countless other Netflix romance films that do the exact same thing: with some slight variation. You know right from the offset where the film is going and it doesn’t surprise you in anyway.
In addition the usual toxic messages and creeping sexist undertones of the romantic comedy genre are here in spades, and again it makes the film even more unwatchable.
Overall, Netflix just makes trash now.
Pros.
You can dare your friends to try and sit through it, that might be some fun as long as you don’t have to watch it back.
Cons.
It is sexist
The lead is awful
It is generic
You can guess all the plot points at the start of the film.
