Slow, low-key start to this rom-com, with the girl talking to her mum about her love life. Then cut to a hot date on a park bench, with some vaguely awkward coffee froth on upper lip carry-on. Then the guy said or did something, not sure what exactly, but it was clearly a Big Deal. Which brought us into the classic two-thirds-through nadir of the romance narrative trajectory, where we met the guy's best friend offering advice, which guy seemed oddly reluctant to take (although to be fair, that armchair did look awfully comfy). Then it was onto the girl's place to make up, but the girl's mum rebuffs him. Then the guy's BFF and the mum get it on, via shared interests based around a mildly inventive interpretation of "ex-bully", and things get a bit more interesting from there on in. Actually, turns out that this silly b-couple is far more interesting than our ostensible main characters. Still, when the girl decides to go get the guy back things kick into gear, with a nice action sequence of her running down the road set to some pumping music. Overall, there were way too many standing around / sitting around talking scenes, not enough 'doing' going on. Also, plenty of rom but not much com until near the end. Still, fun was clearly had in the making of this.

Mum, who is a bit of a dirty girl, prepares her middle-aged daughter for a blind date. They met up, have the date in a garden and just as everything seems to be going swimmingly, the bloke criticises the woman's mother - he does it very nicely though - and the woman is insulted and leaves. After getting advice from his sleazy mate he endeavours to win her back. A lot of the audio was hard to hear and the background sound was often real loud. Nice tripod in the back of one shot and there were a couple of occasions where day/night continuity wasn't exactly covered up. Good fun though and some good acting from the mother.
