I get that this film is supposed to be in some way sweet, about a caring woman who wants to help a charming guy with a sad past. I liked her acting, though everyone else was mediocre.
In reality, this is about a dizzy and quite stupid woman, working for another woman who is also quite stupid but is supposed to come across as powerful but is simply crass. The dizzy woman falls for the 'mystery' of a man who shows no interest in her, and has a seriously threatening brother. This unusual man runs around doing different jobs, but is clearly self interested and mentally unstable. She pursues him not despite that, but because of it.
Having been in a relationship with someone with a mental disorder, I found what was supposed to be romantic as actually quite disturbing. Despite his lack of interest and his brother's threats, she continues to pursue the guy, who eventually has a break down because he read her diary (as she's using the experience to write a book). I fully expected her to be stabbed to death by the psychotic man. And whilst her friend said he is not schizophrenic because he has no hallucinations, the film clearly shows that he does (scene of abusove parents and young girl).
Of course she brings him out of his stupor, and it ends on a happy note. Possibly the psychosis driven murder will be in the second film.
Trust me, as someone that has tried to help a partner like this, this is not romantic, it is actually very dangerous. People with deep psychosis need professional assistance. Not sure what the writer was thinking and all I can imagine is that she is a bit like the main character: quite dizzy and falls for guys that have mental health issues and probably a risk to her health.
Anyway, production value was good, main actress was actually ok. Guy, brother and boss were annoying. A bit shallow, a bit (unintentionally) disturbing. If you're in a prison cell for murdering your wife over an argument about which bagels taste the nicest, this would probably be a nice feel good movie for you to watch. Otherwise, not great.
