A sweet yet tedious rom com where the coy writing keeps reminding you of its outcome. Polish-Australian director / screenwriter Ben Lewin can't resist the cutesy names, as if he's a modern-day Dickens. Danielle Macdonald plays Millie Cantwell (Can't or cant as in affected sing-song) and Max Thistlewaite (This'll wait - or thistle, the Scottish national flower. Wait... he'll be the winner!). It's all too cute for words. Joanna Lumley lends gravitas and spices up the predictable plot. Not sure why Macdonald had to affect an American accent as she's Australian and the film takes place in the United Kingdom.
