I fail to see how this movie is supposed to be romantic, it's more of a comedy mainly focused on a friend group with a blatantly obvious "twist" to it.
Now, predicability aside which can be excused given the supposed genre, most if not all the characters are so shallow and childish that it's impossible to care for anyone, especially the female lead- I seriously couldn't cringe any harder at her stalkerish antics and the heavy lack of chemistry between her and the guy she's after. I mean, this is a grown woman who behaves like a middle schooler chasing after some dude whose interest in her is so nonexistent it's painful to watch really.
Honestly, it would've been wayy more enjoyable and less ridiculous if 1) they didn't cast people in their 40s to act like teens 2) they focused more on her apparently repressed feelings for her friend instead of making her pathetic and desperate for a guy who could not care less about her. Not to mention, their approach to human relationships is treated as if they were hunting a piece of meat, which I find tasteless to say the least for a bunch of grown adults.
The only positive trait I can find is that the friends group is solid and genuinely care about one another but that's about it. If you're looking for an actual rom-com however, I suggest for you to look somewhere else.
