It’s a hopelessly contrived set-up reminding certainly one of ‘While You Were Sleeping’ – however after all , this one’s taking place whilst he’s conscious! Scriptwriter Matthew Tabak hasn’t made a lot effort to percolate the predicaments or stay the romantic contretemps uniquely enticing.
Of path Chemistry trumps information any day (no less than within the films). This is a slightly harmless comedy that has little or no to chortle at.
