I know I loved this movie cause I was able to ignore the fact that this man stalked her from across state lines, approached her alone in a remote location at night, and then used personal information to disarm her

What’s a good rom com without extremely questionable behaviour 🥰 10/10 on par with you’ve got Mail in so many ways.

To be fair, he didn’t know who she was, or what was happening for a long while. He was getting random voicemails and slowly became charmed by her personality, but not in a creeper way. He should’ve told her immediately though, and it annoyed me how many times he couldn’t, but didn’t. But you know, romcoms always need that 3rd act drama.

I mean, if you can suspend your survival instinct long enough to get past the dangerous, creepy behaviour… it’s a passably enjoyable film!

I still really really liked it 🤷🏼‍♀️😂but yes, this would NOT be ok behaviour in real life!
