My hope is that the sequels are actual attempts at movies. The world doesn't need any more toothless cinema.

Some will find it all too polite, but compared to rival blockbuster exercises in explosive CGI mayhem, its character-based index of longing and protectiveness at least provides a viable alternative moodscape.

I succumbed to the palpable chemistry between the leads, and remembered my own girlish fantasies with something of a head-spinning rush.

I think this film is definitely a victim of it's own expectations.
