| Independent Online (South Africa)Debashine Thangevelo[This] rom-com is peppered with an array of colourful characters. |
| GuardianMike McCahillBoth the blandest of romcoms and a film about film-making that displays zero feel for the way films are made. |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherThe Irish-born actress Katie McGrath is in movie industry terms "so hot right now"... The less said about her new movie, however, the better. |

| User ReviewHeather MFun cast, great ending for all, and stunning scenery. Definitely worth a watch. |
