Terrible. Hard to believe Nia Vardalos wrote MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING after watching this. GREEK had such winning characters. Here, the characters are bland at best. They don't engage you. Their situation doesn't draw you in.
Worse, the acting is bad here. A sign that Vardalos shouldn't direct.
The whole thing about the five-date rule is a poor premise. You just knew she was going to fall in love. In a romantic comedy, it's key to keep your leads apart. The five date rule simply isn't a strong device to accomplish this. A weak complication will always lead to a weak story.
