This movie is so bad, there should be an option of giving 0 stars. Why?The plot is awful (boring and predictable). And I know most romantic comedies are, but in this one there is not one interesting twist or moment of "hope" or longing or anything other than - "how much longer does this string of uninteresting events last". The script is.. I don't even know how to say this politely, but there is not a single line being said, that is even remotely interesting, cute or even funny. The acting is terrible! Just terrible. The lead actress is beyond annoying. The lead actor too.Do NOT waste a minute on this movie. It's truly terrible.

Viewer beware the swathe of positive reviews on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes that spontaneously came out when this film was released. This is truly awful. The plot is dire, the acting dreadful - there is nothing to recommend it. The film was produced in cooperation with the Turkish Ministry of Tourism and Turkish Airlines and is a shameless video postcard for the country. I got mugged by the positive reviews and we selected this as a family film to watch - we couldn't even finish it. I only hope this warning will save other people their time and money!

I purchased this movie to watch with my wife. I really like Romantic Comedies (more than she does in fact) and from the reviews and a quick review of the premise, I thought this would be a great movie choice for us. (At the time of this writing, it's rated 9.2/10 on IMDb.) And considering it cost $5.99 to rent and $9.99 to buy on Amazon, I thought, "It looks cute, we'll probably watch it again at some point, I should buy it!" My wife cautioned against the move. (Lesson to be learned: Trust your bride's intuition!)I feel I've been duped. The reviews must be from friends and family of the filmmaker because this film is bad... I mean BAAAAAADDDDDDD.1. The writing is bad. 2. The acting is beyond bad. 3. The story arc is truly worse than bad. 4. The premise is actually not bad at all. 5. But the execution is... well... you guessed it.I really wanted to like this movie, I did. But as my wife kept making fun of it, and the fact that I chose to purchase it, I had to concede that yeah, it was terrible. I'm writing this review to save others from making this mistake. Don't believe all the 10/10 "friends and family" reviews... that is what we call "crazy-talk". My wife highly-encouraged me to write this review (after some 10 years of rating things on IMDb, it's my first review) because I think she thinks it's our duty to the Internet or something. In fact, she was legitimately upset that I gave it a 2/10. She thinks it doesn't deserve that high a rating. I could at least see where they were going with a half-way decent premise that was then shot to hell by poor execution.Save yourself. If a 9.2 rating for this movie (on the level of a "Shawshank Redemption" or a "Godfather") seems too good to be true, it's because it absolutely and totally is.

This movie is just delightful. I've been waiting for it come out for over a year, and it did not disappoint. I have a feeling I'll be re- watching it many times over. Amy and Joshua go on a whirlwind, rom com adventure to Istanbul, Cappadoccia, Ephesus, the Aegean Sea, and other hidden gems all over Turkey. It's truly a love letter to Turkey, and the entire movie is gorgeously shot. The dialogue is charming and witty, and the characters are immensely likable. This is such a cute, feel-good movie filled with banter and shenanigans and a healthy sprinkle of rom com staples. If you're interested, there are also a ton of videos on their YouTube channel showing how they managed to film this gorgeous movie with a tiny crew and plenty of moxy. Highly recommend!
