This delightful story follows Dave and Fern as they embark on a series of dog walks that lead to unexpected romance. There’s a refreshing honesty in their interactions, and it's hard not to root for them. The film does a lovely job of capturing the small moments that make relationships special, though at times it feels a bit predictable. The humour is gentle and the pacing leisurely, which may not suit everyone looking for a fast-paced comedy. Still, the chemistry between the leads is palpable, and the film's exploration of love in the later stages of life is both touching and relatable. Overall, it’s a sweet, simple story that leaves you with a smile. Show less
