Most romantic comedies tend to have a cutesy premise to stand out from the just guy meets girl and falls in love route. The indy picture 3 has a pretty clever one. Kai is told by a potentially drunk prophet that his life will end in 3 days, and while that isn't usually a thing you take to heart from a guy on a barstool, he also got 3 predictions right.
So, we have our high-concept, but the key to a good romance is caring about the lead. Stars Caleb Ruminer and Anna Grace Barlow have a natural and likable connection. They feel down-to-earth, and they are enjoyable together. That means a lot even if the movie itself can be rather formulaic and telegraphs its big moments.
But I was charmed. You can read my full review over at the Video Librarian.
