Now THIS is a romcom. It has the same charm and quality that made early 2000s romcoms so special!

Just once I want to attend a wedding like this, the ones I go to never have any kidnapping storylines.

I love the bride. She is smart and she can read in between lines.

The most terrifying thing is, why she still went up with the wedding. Maybe she has better plan before everything blows out.

Evelyns acting was PHENOMENAL. I had to replay that "WHAT?!" she did in response to the best man because it was just perfect

Evelyn and Daniel both acted so well, even in a 20 minute short film their characters were executed so well. This wasnt long enough!

The “she rejected you too genius!” line with the eye roll was perfect 😂 loved this, great job to all!

As someone in the wedding industry, this was SO FRICKIN GOOD

The main character did so well. She looks very good in green. She expressed every emotion so realistically. In that scene with the groom's best friend, who wanted to object, she expressed her feelings with such satisfying delivery. cuz WHY IS HE OBJECTING AT A WEDDING THE AUDACITY?! She wanted her bestie to have a good day, and she was gon make it happen.

Great acting, especially Kalissa. Who knew she was strong enough to knock a dude out and tie him to a chair?

This movie is better than anything i’ve watched for the past 5 years, it’s a breath of fresh air that the actors know how to act, look unique and actually have facial expressions 😭😭🙏🏻
We need part 2! (Or other movies from yall)
