Storyline (0 more)
As a big zac efron fan I was really looking forward to watching this. Unfortunately it was very disappointing. Basically it's about 3 single guys who make a vow to stay single after a string of bad relationships, however, they all soon enter into relationships and try to keep it a secret from one another. I love a good romantic comedy but this failed quite badly, even the scenes between zacs character and the woman he falls for quite tedious, there was very little between them that made me want them together and for a film that's supposed to be a comedy I didn't laugh once. Safe to say I won't be watching it again.

This is the second book in this series by this author. This is a sexy romantic comedy story. This book can be read as a stand alone read or as part of the series. The characters were perfect, the playboy millionaire meets the adorable scientist. This is such a fun read, I just couldn't put this book down till I'd finished it. I can't wait for more from this author.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Not a comedy, but a beautiful drama
This is not a comedy. I repeat this is not a comedy. So if you read reviews saying that it is, they clearly have a very dark sense of humour. This is rather a tragically beautiful drama about writers attempting to make morale-boosting WWII movie which eventually ends up more pro-feminist than expected. The film is being made under perilous circumstances during the blitz, so there is a high casualty turnout. It is a romantic film, but not in the usual situation.

The cast includes some of finest British actors, with brilliant standout performances from Bill Nighy, a brief cameo from Jeremy Irons, Richard E Grant, Sam Clafin (Hunger Games, Me Before You), as well as better than usual performance from Gemma Arterton. I shed a few tears near the end. Hats off for showing women's role during the war effort.

I liked this.

I didn't enjoy it as much as [b:Love to Hate You|38089447|Love to Hate You|Jo Watson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1524974137s/38089447.jpg|59758616] but it was still a pretty cute romantic comedy. I loved how the chemistry between the two very different characters made them determined to overcome those difference and how they're feelings developed.

I also loved the journey through rural Africa and back into urban cities.

I'm looking forward to reading some more books by the author.

Cameron Crowe recommended The Apartment (1960) in Movies (curated)

Movie Favorite Watch

"You really can’t beat The Apartment for finding laughs and heartache and triumph in the life of a morally compromised schnook of an insurance salesman. The great Billy Wilder was at one of his many career peaks here, finding unforgettable depth in Shirley MacLaine as elevator operator Fran Kubelik, and pulling a delicious Mitt Romneyesque-bad-guy performance out of an unlikely casting choice, the Disney leading man from Flubber, Fred MacMurray. The high-water mark in romantic comedy, this movie is so assured of its tone that even an attempted suicide is never far from a big laugh. It’s all wrapped up in giddy melancholy and — in a rare move — the Academy gave this comedy a whole bunch of Oscars too. Viva Wilder!"
