I have to agree with those who've basically described this movie as nothing special, but I still liked it all the same. It may have been a fairly calculated attempt to cash in on the success of In Time With You, but it worked, at least for me. Of course, I'm a hopelessly biased Ariel fan, so not remotely objective, but my wife and I both found this a light, undemanding and fun way to unwind after dinner, and Ariel and Bolin easily repeated their chemistry from ITWY.
The first half was my favourite, Ariel was genuinely funny in all the more comic scenes. The movie really could have benefited from a more credible development of their mutual attraction, but then I doubt anyone watched this looking for a cinematic masterpiece. The NGs at the end, and ESPECIALLY the scene AFTER them made it all worthwhile.
In summary, not their best work, but the two of them together made overlooking the film's flaws easy, and of course, to quote my wife in summing up the main attraction of the film, speaking of Ariel, "she's a very beautiful lady" . :)
