I guess this is a remake of the 2016 German film SMS für Dich and based on a few things I knew about it before watching, I didn't expect to enjoy it...but I found the film oddly charming and not being a big fan of Celine Dion, I was really surprised how much I enjoyed her contributions. I particularly liked the story of how her and Rene's romantic relationship began (I hope that is true, because it makes for a great story).

The film is about Mira Ray, a children's book illustrator who's boyfriend John is killed by a drunk driver. It's two years later and she is still struggling to get her life back or back to life. In a moment of despair she texts John's old cell phone number. The phone number has been reassigned as a work phone for a music critic named Rob Burns. He is also dealing with heartache and Mira's heartfelt words speak to him and inspire him to go to the opera Orpheus and Eurydice, where they finally meet.

This was different than the typical two sided texting with a stranger as the texting was one sided and a little more voyeuristic.

Going in I really expected to dislike the film, I was a little turned off by the trailer with real-life couple Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas on what appears to be the most awkward first date (I can only hope that in real life they have far more chemistry) and again I have never been a Celine Dion fan. I do however love Sam Heughan and as awkward as it was to see him singing Celine songs, I really enjoyed seeing him in a contemporary romantic comedy.

I think romantic comedy fans will enjoy this film, especially those who have been touched by heartache or grief. I thought the overall story was endearing and I actually really enjoyed Celine Dion's role beyond the shameless self promotion, she had more depth than I expected...and I think shared a genuine part of herself. To that, I highly recommend this film for Celine Dion fans. I think they will be over the moon.

The best part about this movie is Celine Dion's songs and the presence of Celine herself. Knowing she loved her husband and misses him warms my heart. But her songs deserved a better movie.

The idea is good, but it could have been executed way better. The actors are good as well, personally i was curious to see Pryanka Chopra in a rom-com as the lead. She was ok. The lack of chemistry between the main leads thought makes it extremely hard to attach to the characters, which makes it even more difficult to connect with the whole story.

I would have loved to love it. I guess I will have to rewatch some of the classics.

I'm not a huge fan of romantic comedy movies so my standards are pretty high. I've definitely seen some really bad ones! This one was really well put together! Great acting, good writing and funny at the right times!

I adore Sam. Heughan and absolutely love him in outlander. I was worried that he wouldn't be very good in this movie so I avoided it. But after looking for anything new to watch I thought I'd give it a try. Also I think Preyanka Chopra Jones is incredible at action movies so again I just wasn't sure if this movie would work. I'm really glad I gave it a try. It's definitely one you should watch for yourself and see what you think. I don't think you will be disappointed!
