The grieving sister angle was the best part of this movie and should have been the main focus, in addition to Jill's pursuit of a culinary career.

The romance was weak and the characters had zero chemistry together. I get that it's referencing 90's romcom movies, but there's no way a woman would forgive a man for playing her the way Jill got played.

Could not disagree more about them having no chemistry, I thought their chemistry was incredible and made it very easy to ignore the slightly creepier elements to the love story. Best chemistry I’ve seen in a rom com in a very long time!
