English A substantial portion of romantic comedies are made for teenagers, and this is reflected in the setting, naivety, and expressions of the film's protagonists. This movie clearly targets a more mature audience in the age category of 20-35 years. It is more refined but also tame, sterile, and overly sweet. It is not, in the true sense of the word, bad, but rather is within the limitations of its genre and target audience. Personally, it doesn't have anything to offer me. I was indifferent to the characters, and I generally don't like overly clever children who are considered the center of the universe and control the lives of their loved ones in cinema. Additionally, here their activity is taken to the extreme. After discovering that her parents are getting divorced, the daughter is not concerned with reconciling them but instead devotes herself entirely to finding a new partner for her father so that he doesn't feel abandoned. This doesn't even need a comment and it cost the film one star. Overall impression: 40%. ()

English It’s a nice change to watch a romantic comedy that is fun and doesn't put me off with gallons of tears and tons of unnecessary melodrama. A genuinely feel-good film with a very good cast and a script that works. It definitely stands out among other films of this genre. I'm not a fan of children or animals in film, as they are all too often used just to appeal to the viewer’s emotions, but Abigail Breslin fit the story perfectly, and she really pulled it off. I was definitely satisfied. ()
