Explosively Good
A fun, bloody love story. Quite an odd concept, definitely more a Rom-Com with an explosive twist. Students at a high school in their final year start combusting at random. Never knowing how long they will live does this change their perspective on life.
The film is very likable, very witty with some funny exchanges and the relationship feels very genuine for the likable duo. It's bloody without being overly gory for people exploding. The only down side the film seemed to lose it's direction a little bit in the final third. Overall though a fun and quirky, Rom-Com with a difference.

A very good Rom-com re-uniting Tom & Meg again. They have done a few films together now including the similar Sleepless in Seattle. They have a great chemistry together on screen. This is well written and directed and quite funny too, without being too mushy. A kind of will they, won't feel to it, funny to see this was made when online chatrooms were just becoming quite popular. Worth seeing even if you avoid Rom-coms like your in-laws!

Low budget
Don't bother with the RSVP
The type of film that looks like it could have been made in a weekend. Quite cringey humour, then gets quite deep for a comedy. I'm not sure how it was pitched, much like the characters this Rom-com doesn't know where to sit.

Funny cameo by Ed Sheeran
As a big fan of the Beatles I was looking forward to watching this movie. Unfortunately after watching it I was left feeling disappointed. The first half was very good with a lot of funny moments such as Jack finding out what else has changed in the world and the cameo from Ed Sheeran. However what started out as a promising film quickly becomes a predictable rom-com. The best part of this film was the music which includes a lot of the Beatles greatest hits as Jack tries to recreate them himself. Overall I thought this was a fairly standard rom-com that was made better by having a lot of great music.

More drama than Rom-com, it's based around one small idea. If you have spent your whole life in just one relationship, how can you be sure they are right for you? Interesting question but the film as a whole feels uneven. It lacks chemistry and isn't particularly eventful. Feels more like a social comment on relationships in general.
