The film follows Ollie and Zoe as they navigate their new engagement with a rather unconventional twist. While the premise is intriguing, the execution sometimes feels uneven. The dialogue can be clunky, and while the leads have their moments, the chemistry doesn't always spark. It's a mixed bag of heartfelt moments and awkward encounters, leaving you wondering if the exploration of such themes could have been handled with more finesse.
