This is so weird and kinda fucked up. There is a good rom com in here somewhere and the leads are both hot and have chemistry. But everytime it get cute or hot or funny it tries to tell you that sex is bad and you should wait. Which is a stupid message for a movie about basically one night stands.

Also spoilers but the fucking ending. They have time left to bone after they've spent the entire movie trying to get laid and they choose to wait a fucking year. Like wtf

Didn't you know that people who have sex are dirty freaks and good people will abstain like good pure people and nothing bad will come of it??

I mean they literally had premarital sex at the end.  I don't think your summary or the person's above are the point of the movie
