Details about the movie
Never can a male and a girl be friends. Isn't that what they say, too? Yet Debbie and Peter thought of each other as friends, to the extent that they both forgot they were in love while simultaneously being unable to stay apart for even a day. Because Debbie dislikes taking chances and Peter is afraid of our Sigma Lady Debbie, they both had relationships with other people but kept their genuine feelings from one another.
Although members of this age prefer to claim they no longer enjoy clichés, is this the case? Let's simply embrace the reality that we like to claim cliché is simple, but is it truly basic? It makes our hearts flutter and summersault in the skies. I'll let you make that choice. This 1:49:56 (the running time of the film is one hour, 49 minutes, and 56 seconds) long film is charming and also includes cute qualities aimed to make you forget yourself.
The two long-distance best friends fall in love in the end, but they like to pretend they are just friends by donning the typical "Well we are just friends" mask. We can all agree that the early 2000s had a good feel. Trucker hats, flat-ironed hair, wallet chains, phony earrings, and layered shirts (yes it's still elegant) are just a few of the items that serve as visual cues that this movie is set in the early 20s. In any case, this movie also includes sequences that were shot in the past, which adds to the enjoyment.
The Bestie Angle
NO EX-DRAMA, you're correct. This movie was excellent. There was no negativity in the film; instead, it was filled with tons of happiness and enjoyment, as well as literary and novel language with a dash of witty conversation. It's much more rewarding because they invented a few terms. Speaking about psycho ex-drama, we all know that at least one character in the majority of modern rom-com harbors resentment, contempt, and other negative emotions.
The audience finds it funny since Minka, a figure who is one of the women Peter slept with, was also Debbie's best friend in real life. They simply happen to run into each other when Debbie was visiting briefly at Peter's house at the time and Minka bursts in. The girls were completely connected and stuck together there. Minka was essentially a fairy godmother who made Debbie's trip to New York the best it could be.
While Minka is Debbie's surprise closest friend, she also has another best friend in Los Angeles named Alicia. Alicia is a total darling who always has a coffee cup in hand to deal with the daily stress that her twins are bringing her. Alicia is a wise and practical woman who frequently assists Debbie, her son, and Peter while he is visiting Los Angeles.
Outfits
Each person is made to wear a certain costume that is tailored to their personalities and the roles they perform. Debbie typically wears outfits that aren't very trendy but are nevertheless lovely and put together (who doesn't appreciate denim bottoms paired with flowery tops?). It isn't very wonderful, though, to dress like a millennial Porsche or wear those clothes out on a date. Yet when Minka sees the résumé, she attempts to change Deb's great dressed style.
Whatever she wore, it fit her the best and she looked lovely. Minka's clothing was my personal favorite. We should all adore a dependable best friend, therefore let's award her a perfect score of 10 for the part she played.
The other characters' simple attire made it easier for us to comprehend the feeling that their roles—which also include our primary character Peter—carried.
Overall Review
Overall, it's a fantastic movie since, in contrast to the recent films that have been produced, this one is unique and offers the audience a unique viewpoint. There are no unpleasant or Nasty moments in this film. I thus suggest this movie if you enjoy watching lovey-dovey movies.
My rating: 3.9/ 5
