Review

In this romantic comedy, a boy gets assistance from an angel girl with cat ears in his efforts to get a girlfriend and learn about love.

If you think you know how that will turn out, you are slightly wrong. Because one of the few good things about this movie is that it does not have the exact same plot as most others in the genre.

The first thing I noticed is that the way they are talking feels off. Instead of engaging in method acting, the actors are speaking loudly, and off tempo, like reading from the script. Still, they are expressive and the characters are clearly defined.

My hypothesis is that they are not originally movie actors, but stage actors or comedians. The director, actors, and the studio barely have any other references, so I was unable to research their origin.

The sound recording is also unusual, in that echoes can be heard in some rooms. The cameras are mostly placed in fixed positions, but move sometimes. The production seems amateurish, but not actually bad.

Even so, it gets pretty funny, with many nice scenes during the first half. Two of the characters are even comedians, which made me suspect that the actors are also comedians, or that a comedian was involved in writing the script. I began warming up to the story.

Alas, the tempo slowed down in the second half. Especially during a ten minute long futsal game (a variant of soccer).

Even though amateurish, it is a cute movie, that feels too long, since it doesn't have enough ideas to fill up the two hours.
